[Opinion by jaocheja] 10th assembly: Can Tinubu win? via thecableng
We should not expect much drama from the Senate. But the House of Representatives. Very typical from time immemorial. Maybe that is why it is called the House with many occupants and its tendency to get rowdy is commonplace.
I smell a rat. I assume the President-Elect said to him. ” Betera, I don’t mind having you as the Speaker. But you are from the same ethnicity as my Vice President. I can’t support you, and I can’t stop you, either. I know you, and you know me” That is the quintessential Tinubu. I believe Betera is his buddy. He has made his permutations. He has done his homework. And he remembers his buddies.
It seems like a game. Maybe Betera is preferred. But it has to happen through a process that seems like going against the party. Sense will not kill Tinubu. It is also a tough one. Unless Betera backs out, I see nothing stopping him from clinching the speakership position for two reasons. The majority of the returning members are his buddies. The bulk of the new members see him as their own. This is across party lines.
