Sai Babalogy: A rare case of politics and the take-away from the recent INEC bye-elections
During the weekend, there were some bye-elections to fill in the seats of the lost Senators in the North. We now have 3 new APC NASS members, they just said 'Sai Baba!!' and boom, they are Lawmakers!
As I said earlier; one campaigned with some few onions seeing Eid is close, one from Southern Bauchi promised to make Buhari a life President once he gets to the chamber, Oh! Our great Tafawa-Balewa. The other I heard defeated his Elder brother who helped him win his re-election in 2015. I also learnt that the new Katsina Senator is one of the best Legislators in the State. That doesn’t stop the PDP from crying foul anyway, how the mighty have fallen! It’s alleged that 5 APC Governors mustered over N2bn to buy votes, with advanced technology, traditional rigging is getting out of place.
In
Daura, where Buhari hails from PDP got over 50, 000 votes and may be close to
25%, had it been the red cap Brigades waited a day long, the results would have
been different, anyway this should be APC’s strongest hold in the country. In
Sarkin Yara ward where Buhari votes but was absent this time, his APC got 1984
votes, 1984 loves Buhari. In Katsina North, APC got over 200,000 votes which is
close to the total vote’s difference Buhari got in Lagos, Ondo and Ogun in 2015
Presidential elections. A little votes over 200, 000 made some common men become Governors for 8 years in some other parts of the Country.
In
Bauchi South, APC got about 120, 000 votes, exactly what APC got in the whole
of Ekiti State in the last Presidential elections, only that the people of
Bauchi don’t care about what the FG is doing in Bauchi as far as they are alive
and Baba is in power, AlhamdulilLah! They are certain Buhari loves them and before his tenure ends, there new prison will be operational. I
heard some old women shouted Sai Baba and kissed the ballots before voting for
the Senator that wil make Buhari a life President, who cares about laws that
will curb Almajiranci, reduce poverty, tackle illiteracy, who needs all those
useless laws when you have Baba in the Villa?
In
any case I see that the NNPP, GPN, SDP and PDP get almost the same votes as the
APC in Bauchi, is someone taking note of that? In Bauchi like Katsina, the new
Senator is also a serving House of Reps, Gumau represents Toro whilst Babba-Kaita
represents Kusada/Ingawa/Kankia in the lower chamber. Now another bye-election
must hold since these Honorables have been promoted, a law should be made to
tackle this gamble-game, it will save INEC a lot of money conducting extra elections. In Kogi, the case
was worse, big lives were lost, ballots snatched, 3 fresh onions were shared by
the great APC of Yahaya Bello who is doing a wonderful job despite doubling on
with a secondment job in the Villa, by the time he finish his tenure from Abuja, we
will be thinking of replacing every other Governor with a 40 year old young
man.
No need to tell you that PDP won a House of assembly seat in Cross-River, the woman who won the election is replacing her late husband very soon, but in the State chambers for now.
