Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. Okupe in his post
said it portents danger for Nigeria.
See what he wrote below...

To ordinary watchers of Nigerian politics, the on going
ordeal of the Senate President, Dr saraki may be an
interesting soap opera.But to more discerning minds it is
nothing short of a tragic comedy. Over the years Nigerian
politicians fail over and over again to convince anybody
that they actually learnt anything from our checkered
political history. This is why we have had many Republics
in our national history.

Wiston Churchill said "Failure to act when action would
have been simple and effective, lack of good reasoning,
and confusion of counsel, all these lead to endless
repetition of history." I am personally not a supporter of
Dr Saraki and for good reason. He spearheaded the
demolition of the pdp and the eventual catastrophic
electoral misfortune of the Goodluck Jonathan 's
Presidency. Neither am I a detractor of the Senate
President. However as a veteran politician I accept that all
is fair in love and in war and as they say the end justifies
the means. But what is currently going on is ominous and
dangerous and will require Wisdom and extreme tact
from all the dramatis personnel.

I did in the past predict that the APC will break up, but
that was before the APC formed the government. Now
that they are in government, it is not in my interest or
that of any reasonable or patriotic Nigerian to wish that
they break up. A break up of the APC now has the
capacity to undermine the current political process and
the entire political dispensation we are passing through
to the detriment of the country and the innocent masses.

As it is now, while the law must be allowed to take its
course, men with less passion, and more sense on ALL
sides must rise to the occasion to manage this delicate
matter in the overall interest of our Nation, our
democracy and our people. Remembering always that an
ill wind does not blow anyone any good.
