TAMBUWAL ELECTION SHOWS PRESIDENT JONATHAN LACKS GRAVITAS!

 Icheoku congratulates the House of Representatives for not kow-towing the PDP directive on who leads them. It is called democracy and that includes internal democratic right to chose freely who shall lead the House. On this note the election of Tambuwal is a right and correct thing to do and the House just did that. 

Now what does that portend for President Jonathan? It shows that he has been perfectly checkmated by the North which now in addition to the vice president, also has the party chairman, senate president and the speaker which conversely means that President Jonathan is serving at their pleasure as they can decide to just impeach him and make way for a Northern President Namadi Sambo. On another front, they can conspire to deny President Jonathan his policy directive just to make him a failed president or simply frustrate his effort as the 2015 time clock runs its course. Icheoku has always known that President Jonathan is a naive politician when he allowed a Northern Party Chairman and INEC chairman preside over the last election and further confirmed this political puerility when he obstructed the Igbo South-East from producing the speaker. 

Now the North has everything and President Jonathan is a mere seating duck without any other Southerner in high offices to get his back. Anyway, Icheoku believes that the Yoruba Southwest PDP did not deserve being rewarded with the office of the speakership, having lost the zone to the Bola Tinubu ACN. Icheoku saw the attempt as unreasonable and irrational - rewarding a zone that forsook PDP with the speakership of the House was both unjust and uncalled for. Icheoku asks President Jonathan, how about a Kebbi Speaker as an alternative to a Southeast one; go figure Mr Goodluck; except that these days the good in the goodluck seems to have been replaced with "beware of what you wish for". So long and congratulation Speaker Tambuwal.
