House of Commons

Against wise counsel and having ran out of ideas on how to handle immigration issues and have Mexico pay for a wall that is not in their budget, President Trump decided to join me on my short vacation by just shutting down government so that nobody will loot the shop before we come back.
Well, nobody came, but rumours and gossips were rife on the internet to keep me distracted from the artificial peace that drink and laziness bestowed while the vacation lasted. In the era that everyone with a smartphone is now a journalist of some sort, caution is advised in assimilating online news from itinerary smartphone publishers.

Weighing the equities and the dynamics of governance since Trump stumbled into power, it is logical to assume first, that the Presidency is not a first entry job and secondly, that the House is the easiest way of checking a moderate presidency with an overbearing supporters base.

The standoff today is more as a result of the riling of Trump supporters than the outcome of the President's critical reasoning. Having frittered away the goodwill that comes with his party controlling all arms of government in the first half of his tenure, his days look horrifically numbered with the Democrats seizing the initiative from the House in this second half.

Buhari enjoys much more privileges than Trump in the sense that like his anti-corruption crusade, he has zero level of opposition. The rantings from PDP is at best a feedback from an internal political system arising from a symbiotic relationship between the ruling party and the party on the bench that provides substantive substitute for injured politicians like Dino.

If you’re in doubt, take a look at the team list submitted for the 2019 Presidential campaign council - all familiar names and are all from the same feeder team.  So, to the supporters at the popular stand, the difference between APC and PDP, is in the alphabets and not the jerseys!

This election is already decided, again by the elitists as prophesied based on probability by their frantic colleagues in the religious sector. The only democratic way out of this conundrum is for the masses to change destination and head for the House. After all,  charity, oversight functions, checks and legislation all start from the House.

Lastly, this piece does not feature on Sahara Reporter, so it may be missed by Sowore. But, whoever sees him on campaign trail should let him know that activists are at their functional best in a House that is built from the foundation and not from the roof. He will understand.
