The drama is still unfolding as 130 law makers have indicated interest in impeaching the president, will he be impeached or not , is a matter of time, and as the drama unfolds, let us remember that politics is a game of number, and according to Machiavelli dubbed the devil by his intellectual historicist, in his book , The Prince, noted that "for you to survive you as a leader , you must be as a cunning as a fox and as fierce as a lion."
But political analyst are of the view that nothing will come out of it, but there may be strong indications that the masses are not happy with the event in Ekiti and other states like Osun, things are not that well with the ruling party.
There has been large exodus of members of the ruling party to the rival APC, with majority of the governors moving especially with the power arrangement that tend to serving senators to the senate to the detriment of the governors who probably see the senate as safe heaven for retirement. but will the senators retire , or are they willing to retire. That has put the ruling party in serious political disequilibrium.
The president Goodluck Jonathan who just celebrated his 57 years birthday day, definitely is not happy with the turn of events, and he manages the crises, there seems to be a crack on the wall, does it mean that umbrella is now leaking. But political supporters of the president are of the view that even if the umbrella is leaking, the broom may not likely salvage it, as it lacks the ability to that.
As the events unfold , lets keep our fingers and watch if the law makers can muzzle up the required two third majority to impeach the president.
