Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - On this Matter of Party Defections in Nigeria's National and State Assemblies {Re: [Naijaintellects] Chaos at National Assembly: Tambuwal Stopped, David Mark Orders shutdown

"Nigerians deserve an opposition that is qualitatively better than the status quo. It is a nihilist proposition to say the opposition should outdo the status quo in lawlessness, thuggery, and dishonor. Today's opposition is tomorrow status quo. If we don't hold them accountable today, we'll be back to square one, mouthing the same tired, familiar anti-status quo outrage if/when the APC comes to power. And they cycle will continue, prompting more recycled outrage."

End of discussion. We have no opposition party in Nigeria. None.
