Ben Bruce: The Accidental Senator Elect by udyheart01(m): 4:17pm On May 14, 2015
You see, there are people who like my favorite writer, Shakespeare said of; "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them". Among the trio, I dare to say that Ben Bruce has greatness thrusted upon him.

Don't misquote me. Greatness in this aspect means political greatness. When something a man never expects is bestowed on him, he feels so overwhelm that he begins to talk anyhow in disbelief and hides under his wealth to cover it like he knows what he is doing.

Don't be fooled, Ben Bruce is still at shock that he could be a Senator, a dream he never had in his life. The only dream this man had was to be a great entrepreneur which we can't deny him of haven achieved even beyond his expectation. The surprise of becoming a Senator is yet to dawn on him and still in the euphoria, he has turned to a talkative. He has not seen real money like the NASS members have seen, hence he can talk anyhow, Wait until N500 million which he never sweated for is taken to him at night as lobby for no work done, and let's see if his sudden morality will not take flight. Real men who have seen money won't talk like him.

Here was a man who contested for the PDP Governorship and lost out in the primaries, He has given up on politics when he decided to try a lesser position as told him by President Goodluck Jonathan, which made him win the election.

Still surprised that he will now mount the Red Chambers, addressed as a distinguished Senator and make unlawful laws for us, he has decided to act the CHANGE play and win himself into the hearts of the youths. But thank God, my active youths were quick to read his game and bashed him, yet he won't give up.

Let us bow dissect this man called Bruce. Where was he all these years that his kinsman, Uncle Joe strutted the political firmament like a cat that has 9 lives and would never die? Where was he all these while to advise his brother who ran the most corrupt enterprise called governance in Nigeria history? Tell us, where went his voice when his brother and co-senators looted the treasury blind?

Of course he kept quiet cause he was benefiting from the corrupt PDP government who gave him over-inflated contracts to build his Silver Bird cinemas all over the country, with Gov. Devilswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State being his biggest maga. The once dumb BB has finally found his voice and wants to advise President Muhammadu Buhari.

Can someone tell this sudden change activist that he should just keep quiet like Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and keep his advise to himself. Others may have forgotten but we cannot forget how he got N8 billion contract as NTA DG to refurbish the station and the money disappeared. Few months later, he set up Rhythm FM and Silverbird, obviously from the diverted N8 billion. He should account for this.

Others may forget, but I can't. Where is the N33 billion contract given him by Akpabio to build a world class Tropicana in Uyo, but rather built what is not up to N1 billion. I present to us the original plan of what the N33 billion was meant to build but never saw the daylight. This hypocrite should just park well and allow men who have been talking to talk. I am glad that he is not welcome by the youths. In communication, we call it Negative feedback and he got it in doze. He should channel his energy to advise his kinsman in Otuoke when he leaves.

Enough is Enough.
