Opinion: Kogi legislators defection, Height of polical desperation- Hon. Job Monday Sesere

The recent shameless jumpology of our legislators is not only laughable, but the height of political desperation. But in recent time, I have cautioned myself not to squander my treasure of words and time on less germane issues, but permit me to bear my mind on what has turned out to be talk of the town.
The watery defense put across by some paid agents who took delight in their self acclaimed eloquence, did not only expose the original malicious intention of their principal's venturing into politics, both has further presented the consequences of a self imposed "mistake of choice" before the electorate.

They started this shameless dance few weeks ago by being completely insincere and sending misleading signals, concealing the purpose and intention through several denials that couldn't stand the test of time.
Appearing a committed and loyal member of the party under which the umbrella your people elected you, hiding your ungodly intention after collecting Bello's brown envelope, and sending the good people of your constituency on time consuming wild goose chase. May God for forgive you (amen). I know by now we are counting our losses in Kabba/Bunu local government.


What this cheap politician fail to put under consideration is that power does not come from being in the same party with the governor, but the corner stone of power is reputation and through the same instruments of reputation, you can intimidate and win.
The silent but conspicuous victory Bello won over these semi illiterate element in the hallowed chamber was destroying them by opening holes in their reputations and then stand to watch as public opinion hang them. Believe me or not, this is the height of any political miscalculation.

I was with a friend when he called and confronted the majority leader with the text message he sent to Friday Sani asking him to come and collect his own N2M and instead of denying it,  he only said "Friday shouldn't have shown you that message now". But promised they collected such money but will not do Bello's bidding. Hmmmmm, just less than a month he suddenly didn't care what people  say about those damning flashback.

Since we must live in a society and must depend on the opinions of others, there is nothing to  gain by neglecting your reputation. By not caring how you are perceived,  you let others decides this for you. What is the essence of last month denial of rumour of being lured with cash to decamp when you know you are 99% out of your party? May God bless Honourable Tee Jay who still believes his birth right and reputation worth more than a pot of N2M
