Aftermath of PDP Primaries: Senators Plot To Impeach Mark by Sierraloaded: 8:03am On Dec 15, 2014
ABUJA — THE Senate may witness a change of leadership if the threat by aggrieved senators from the two main political parties, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, to impeach Senate President David Mark for not protecting them in the just concluded party primaries is carried out.

If successful, the plot may see the APC producing the Senate President in addition to the House of Representatives speakership. This is coming as 168 members of the House of Representatives have endorsed the plan to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan.
Some of the vocal and prominent PDP senators, who had defended the party with every available means whenever the opposition APC senators raised eye-brow over some of President Jonathan’s policies were surprised that both the Senate leadership and the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party could not reciprocate the gesture. Instead the senators were left at the mercy of state governors.

Consequently, the aggrieved senators in both the PDP and APC, who lost return tickets at the various party primaries have decided to move against the Senate leadership for not protecting them during the primaries.

It’s a rumour — Mark
However, Senate President Mark has dismissed the alleged plot to unseat him, saying the claimed plot existed only in the imagination of those parading the rumour.
The alleged plot to remove Mark came on the heels of the impending plan to commence impeachment of President Jonathan by some senators, which is expected to be presented before the Senate on resumption this week.

In what may look like a change of gear, it was gathered that the aggrieved senators, with some PDP senators now joining their ranks, have decided to rather kick-start the removal of the Senate leadership instead, starting with Mark.

A senator, who was privy to the deal, yesterday evening, told Vanguard: “The plan has changed. We never expected the party to treat us this way. We stood by the party when there was turbulence occasioned by the emergence of the new PDP.

“There was a plot then to impeach the same leadership but we stepped in and stopped it with our sheer number. In fact, we used our personal contacts to talk to the organisers and they backed down. We prevailed on them not to rock the boat more so as the Seventh Senate had just a few months to go.

“We thought the party would take note of what we did and also note our loyalty to the party and reward us. Rather, we were not even protected in these primaries. Can you imagine the party leaving us at the mercy of state governors?”

Nigerians should start engaging themselves in productive thinking so as to move...to move rapidly.

Has anyone taken time to conduct an extensive research study on politicians in his territory and present it to some other youths so as to help them all decide who to follow,who to support,
the answer is no! Our youths prefer to use their strength for anyone who can give them peanuts to cause disruptions here and there.

It is true that we have suffered a great loss as a result of the gross mismanagement of the government.
At the same time,We caused many things on ourselves

Poor maintenance culture: We have messed our environment up carelessly and recklessly especially public properties.
Corruption among masses
Ethnical bigotry
Shallow thinking,we have failed to look within ourselves to find strength which can be used to achieve great things.

i still don't believe we should direct all blame on politicians...
It is an ideological problem.a thinking problem...
let us have prudent youths.
