Don’t stay far away and say what you don’t know. There are 3 LGAs in his senatorial district and there has been a standing zoning arrangment that the senatorial seat will rotate amongst the 3 LGAs for just a single term. Ben Bruce just adhered to the standing zoning arrangement.

Ben Bruce will not be returning to the senate because his constituents are tired of his multiple personality disorder.

Ben Bruce successfully wasted 4 years in the senate contributing next to nothing save twitter rants.
Apparently he's not going to have a second term.
Bye Ben…..Bye

Nigerian Politics is like Dark Magic. The more you look, the less you see..
If you believe that Ben Bruce pulled out of Senatorial race just like that, then you can believe anything…

Buhari too is a failure but is refusing to surrender. Unlike Ben Bruce that with Dignity has Withdrawn from his ambition. Would your lifeless Buhari do that for the sake of democracy?
