The Chairman of the Cross River Caucus in the National Assembly, Sen. Gershom Bassey has come out say that Nigerian politicians are fair weather in nature.

He recently revealed this at the burial ceremony of Madam Comfort Asuquo, the mother of the House of Representatives Member for Akamkpa/Biase in Cross River state, Mr Daniel Asuquo.

According to him, it is very rare to see a Nigerian politician who stands by the right principles because most of them just go with the wind.

He, however, added that Mr. Daniel Asuquo is one rare being that stands for something and will never be part of the backward-minded political figures.

His words, “I have come to realize that Dansuki is not just a very good politician but is also a highly principled politician. He is a politician that stands for something, he is not a backward politician.”

“You know in Nigeria, we have politicians that just go with the wind all over the place. But this man Dansuki, is a politician that stands on principles.”

“Let us be proud of the family and mama and we continue to say may her soul rest in peace and may God grant all of you the fortitude to bear this loss.”

“I want to congratulate Dan’s mother for instilling these values in Dansuki. So Akamkpa, I want you to be proud of the fact that you’ve produced a politician that stands for something.”

“I have been mandated by the great class of chairmen of 1999-2002 to commiserate with you. Daniel Asuquo was the youngest member of that time. Like Senator Imoke said, Daniel at that time was the only member of that group that was single and mama had to fill the vacuum.”

“We still know him as the youngest member of the great class of 1999-2002. Our legacies are there for us to see; he came to Akamkpa and transformed it because he had a mother who had the fear of God, gave him the right advice and put him through in many ways and showed him the way.”
