Many thoughts have been shared about the “great fall” of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) in Nigeria. How the mighty fall. It only reminds me of the soap opera we saw as children The Rich Also Cry. Does this title have anything to do with “our great party”?

We often hear of the great Zimbabwe, great Timbuktu, Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Rome Othoman, Marcedonia and the likes were all great civilisations at different times.

Dear Asiwaju,

I trust that this letter will meet you in the best state of health and in highest form of sound mind. I am also hopeful that your family is doing well in all ramifications.

I will like to congratulate you, on the success of the APC in the 2015 general elections. No individual in modern day Nigeria has worked as much as you did to get us to where we are. This is some considerable level of success. Never in Nigeria’s political history has the progressive taken control of the centre until now. I believe this would not have been possible without your immense sacrificed and doggedness. For this, I want to thank you and express my profound gratitude for helping us in seeing a matured democracy. Without mincing words, your role as a democrat and a leader of a virile and strong opposition has helped us sustain our democracy and build a solid nation.

First off, let’s get one point cleared out straight away: Mr Ben Murray-Bruce’s oratory prowess has never been in doubt at any point in time. Goodness me! The man is a showman and a brilliant human being. So he will always produce the right soundbites to gain admiration and plaudits from people outside Bayelsa East Senatorial District and Bayelsa State.

So why am I not enthusiastic about him representing me in the senate even though I know and acknowledge his natural endowment?
