He knows the game of Nigerian politics. He can beg and can draw blood when he needs to. “Yes, he has not been a good president in terms of governance in the last 2-3 years. But he scores above 70% in political scheming. “Ok, he lured federal legislators to come over to his party. Now he leaves them stranded. He rightly chooses the Governors who have what it takes for the ground operations of winning elections in Nigeria illegitimately. “Meanwhile, the legislators have delivered on a bad electoral law that helps him. That is political smartness. Even if it’s self-serving”.
