When Fayose was elected as governor in 2014, PDP only had one House of Assembly member out of 26.
By the time Fayose was being sworn in on October 16, 2014, PDP had 7 House of Assembly members, with another two APC lawmakers working with him underground. How did Fayose get SIX APC House of Assembly members to decamp to PDP?
In Ekiti, 9 House of Assembly members are needed to form quorum to sit, and Fayose got the number required.
But someone in Rivers State can't get 12 out of 32 House of Assembly members to his side.
He had 4, instead of looking for 8 more, he decided to appoint one of the 4 as his Chief of Staff, thereby reducing the number to 3.
How sensible???
Politics is politics and if you can't play politics, go home and stay with your wife.
