She will not go quietly

Our very own first lady Speaker of the House of Representatives in Nigeria has decided to become a sit-tight politician in spite of the furore generated by her poor decision making and questionable intention.
A panel investigated the process by which the contract for the renovation works on her official residence and that o her deputy was awarded and raised questions on both the amount awarded and the process by which the award was made.
She was indicted for not following due-process, for awarding the job at a questionable rates and for awarding the job to companies that were not registered to do business etc. etc.
What is amazing however is that an eight-year veteran of the House of Representatives could be so naive as not to know how due-process works.
Due-process happens to be one of the mantras of the ruling party to which she belongs!
Her Waterloo came about as a result of intellectual paucity and an inability to understand that politics is a game of balance. She refused to give unto Ceaser by ensuring that all constituencies represented in the House had their interest catered to and so is about to be consumed by the genie of "due process" released by her own political party! Talk about self-immolation!
I am also amazed by PDP and their head-in-the-sand ostrich posture.
They appear to believe that this will all blow away especially since they appear to have been able to muzzle the civil society and labour groups that would have been up in arms about the situation.
I think that the party could have burnished their tarnished armour a bit by quietly releasing her. Frankly, I do not think that she could have anything on the party that she would have used as a bargaining chip to checkmate such a move by her party. She was meant to be a rubber-stamp leader, hence the party's apparent unwillingness to let her go. They may also be scared of crowning a Speaker who will get there and begin to demonstrate the he had a mind of own.
I pity most our "captive" President who does not appear to have a real voice in the party heirachy enough to ask the party to call their members to order and move the present Speaker out before more damage is done.
This same party had the presence of mind to substitute duly elected party candidates with hand-picked ones in the last election, a move that is beginning to experience the "Obi phenomenon" as the election results are becoming unravelled through nullification by the Judiciary.
Let me at this point give kudos to the men and women in our judiciary who want to do their jobs thoroughly without interference from any quarter, and have been able to do so in some landmark judgements that demonstrate that they hold the rule of law sacrosanct.
Mrs. Speaker must go because she has refused to be a part of our growing democracy and anti-corruption culture, she must be told that the age of the of the dinosaurs is over. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Long live democracy!
