Senator Bukola Saraki has officially expressed his desire to be nominated Nigeria’s Senate President.
Saraki, a former Kwara State Governor, revealed his interest in the position on Thursday, April 23, 2015.

The contest for leadership of the Senate is said to be between Saraki, former governor of Benue State and Senate Minority Leader, George Akume, and Barnabas Gemade, a former National Chairman of the PDP.

However, Saraki is being pegged as the strongest candidate due to the fact that both Akume and Gemade are from Benue State, which has occupied the position through current President, David Mark for the past eight years.

Mark is expected to vacate the position due to the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) loss of majority in the upper house following the recently held general elections.

so Saraki cannot spell "encouragement"?

This is the change we're all going to get.

With Saraki taking the looting of his state to national level, and Tinubu moving his Tinubu & Sons Lagos to Tinubu & Sons Nigeria ltd Abuja.

I don't really like Saraki because he is a former PDP member, however I prefer him to David Mark...

No mind dayo

David mark 8 years will hinder Saraki's chances, the north central have had enough, as they say.

Others giving the seat a shot include Ahmad I Lawan, 2 times reps member, 2 times senator, the only one with clean record among northeast's fore runners.. Another boost to his aspiration is the democratic climate has not favor his geo-zone, after Atiku no northeasterner held any prominent position. And hell yeah, he got all that it takes to lead the senate.

This is a great post that shouldn't be supported based on emotion and sentiment. I just hope for the best candidate to win. We can't afford a quack for now.
APC Sak!

Saraki ko, Saaki ni......even with his billions on his marabouts he will fail.

Soldier go soldier come, barrack no dey move. These bastards sr just the same thieves in a new clothing.

Oh Nigerians, behold, the CHANGE you asked for is here!

The people who milked you dry and mortgaged your children future is now on the horse of CHANGE!.

There is something in the public domain already that I hope doesn't go viral, otherwise somebody might well bid farewell to their political career.

Just pray it doesn't get released on any social media platform before the inauguration of the assembly.

Senate Presidency is not won on twitter.
