they are trying had to console themselves...Tambuwal's story is exactly the same as Dogara; and APC didnt frown much, cos it was a general house decision..and Dogara wasnt foolish enough to cede the post of Dep. Speaker to PDP...But Saraki displayed a 'Judas-like' trait in him, by going ahead with the opposition in the absence of his fellow senators...
And ceding the post of DSP to PDP, what David Mark would NEVER have done should he have found himself in such situation a 100times over..

House divided against itself will not stand.

I think in all, I will blame PMB and this statement, 'I belong to everybody and nobody' will be put to test soon. I blame him because he called for a meeting at the ICC and yet he didn't attend the meeting. Who does that? The meeting he called for led to Saraki being elected Senate President and Ekweremadu snickking in through the back door. Besides, how will PMB feign ignorance of the fact that some of his members are too over-ambitious?

PMB feels he is the National Leader of APC and yet doesn't want to interfere in the NASS problem. If truly he is the leader and he shares the same position with the APC leaders on the names recommended by the party, then it's just right and proper for PMB to compel Judas Saraki and Dogara to show honour which they lack towards obeying the position of the party.

Since 1999, OBJ held PDP together, Umar Yar'adua did same and it was under Jonathan that PDP crumbled like a pack of card due to poor handling of challenges, PMB should not allow same to happen under his administration. Any loss by APC is PDP's gain.

Though PMB is a leader and not a polithiefcian, but it is the combination of the two that is needed to survive the political landscape. PMB, the time to act is now.

Saraki is sitting on a time bomb, nobody put fire on his roof and go in to sleep. I personally have nothing against him but for the fact that he choose personal ambition over the good of Nigeria is ridiculous. How could he had allowed a PDP man occupied such a position n his chief of staff ?

Stop all this lies and propaganda against Tinubu...Haba!!! Conspiracies flying here and there...just keep it to yourself; its not good for the unity of these country...lets deal with the known...Saraki messed up twice! Why do you think nobody is complaining much about Dogara? Cos he won fair and square, with all the honourables partaking in the election...just as tambuwals own!!! Had saraki waited, he would still have won, so whats his impatience about? Just shows how treacherous he is....last tuesday, he had a lifeline to amend his ways with the party, yet he defied the party again...by going contrary to conventional ways of choosing presiding officers in the Senate...
You ain't wise enough and I felt highly embarrassed that a full grown man old enough to discuss Politics of Nigeria is not wise enough.

Was Saraki the one that inaugurate the National Assembly ?

Was Saraki the Clerk of National Assembly ?

Was Saraki the one that called for the ICC meeting ?

Was Saraki the one formed quorum in the National Assembly ?

Was Saraki the one that asked 51other APC members to boycott the inauguration of the NASS ?

Was Saraki that nominated Ekweremadu ?

Was Saraki that elected Ekweremadu ?

If Saraki was also to attend ICC, would PDP not have formed quorum. ?

If PDP should form quorum (38 members needed from 49), would PDP not have taken over the whole NASS ?

If Saraki didn't win Senate President as APC , would PDP not have nominated David Mark and Won while Ekweremadu would become DSP thus Senate would go PDP since Majority of APC senators are off to a meeting in ICC ?

APC leadership bleeped up big time and it was Tinubu caucus of APC that bleeped up

The same thing in House of Reps ..... what makes the APC returnees from ICC to converge in House reps was because the Clerk of the NASS concluded with Senate before Reps .... the rushed back immediately Saraki was elected unopposed but not in time to vote against Ekweremadu.


Saraki is absolved in all these me.ss ... Tinubu caucus should be blamed because they forced Buhari to call for a meeting when he already told all he is not going to interfere in the election of an independent Institution.

Unlike the present scenario, Tambuwal's were contrary to section 68 of the 1999 constitution. You applauded an illegal act only to cry foul for an act that is perfectly in consonance with the constitution.

For President Muhammadu Buhari, the emergence of a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member as deputy Senate President in the current dispensation is nothing short of a setback for his administration.
He is irked that some members of his own party, All Progressives Congress (APC), conceded the position to Ike Ekweremadu when the PDP never gave that much all through its 16 years in power between 1999 and last May.

But he is optimistic that the APC will overcome the setback.

President Buhari made his feelings known at a meeting with a delegation of the   Unity Forum at the Aso Rock Villa on Friday night.

The forum is the group of senators backing Dr. Ahmed Lawan, the APC anointed candidate for the Senate Presidency.

Buhari, at the meeting, reportedly pleaded for the understanding of APC Senators as the party explores reconciliation options.

However, the majority of the APC governors and state chairmen of the party are insisting that Senate President Bukola Saraki and House of Reps Speaker Yakubu Dogara comply with the party’s directive on the choice of principal officers of the National Assembly.

The APC governors and state chairmen are encouraging the leadership of the party to enforce discipline to prevent it from collapsing.

Some party leaders, it was gathered, have proposed a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Audu Ogbeh, as chairman of the APC Disciplinary Committee to look into allegations of anti-party activities against some members.

President Buhari at the Friday meeting was said to have said there was no reason for the party to be divided over who heads the National Assembly.
“The President gave us audience and admitted that the development in the Senate was a setback but he expressed confidence that APC will overcome it,” a source at the meeting said.

“He said there was no basis for the split among APC Senators which led to the concession of the Office of Deputy President of the Senate to the PDP. He said PDP did not give the opposition such an opportunity in its 16 years in power.

“Buhari told Lawan and others not to take the law into their hands as the leaders of the party explore reconciliation options. He said peace and the survival of the nation’s democracy should be paramount more than any other thing.”

Asked to assess the President’s mood at the session, the source added: “He was not happy about the development in the Senate but he was hopeful that the situation is redeemable if some leaders can sacrifice their ambitions for the survival of APC and his administration.”

Another source said: “The session was cordial and reassuring. The President interacted with us individually and even had time to crack jokes with us before we receded into the business of the day.

“As for the Lawan group, it was Senator Barnabas Gemade who spoke on behalf of the 51 aggrieved Senators.

“Gemade said the Unity Forum is after justice since its members have demonstrated their faith in APC leadership and having been loyal to the party to a fault.

“Gemade restated the six demands of the group and the need to prevail on Saraki and Dogara to abide by the directive of the party on the nominees for principal offices in the Senate and House of Representatives.”

The source quoted Gemade as saying: “When the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo called a meeting to address the looming challenge, it was only our group that responded; we were the only group which participated in the party’s straw poll and even on June 9, we deferred to the party’s invitation to a meeting at the International Conference Centre.

“Before anybody knew it, the Like Minds went for the inauguration of the Senate and elected Saraki.

“We have proved our unflinching loyalty to the party. This is the time for the party to assert itself and enforce discipline or else members will continue to take the leadership of the party for granted.”

Ahead of the meeting of the National Executive Committee of the APC on Tuesday, there were indications last night that the governors elected on the platform of the party and state chairmen are pushing for Dr. Saraki and Hon. Dogara to comply with the party’s directive on the choice of principal officers of the National Assembly.

They said they will no longer tolerate the defiance of the party by the two leaders.
A member of the NWC said: “We are expecting a stormy session on Tuesday. Saraki and Dogara will have to choose between loyalty to the party or self-serving agenda.

“The only condition for moving forward is for these leaders to accept the list sent to them by the National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.

Those  recommended by the APC for Senate positions are Sen. Ahmed  Lawan(Majority Leader)—North-East; Prof. Sola Adeyeye( Chief Whip)—South-West; Sen. George Akume( Deputy Majority Leader)—North-Central; and Sen. Abu Ibrahim(Deputy Chief Whip)—North-West.
The party’s list for the 8th House of Representatives  is as follows:  Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila( House Leader)——South-West; Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa( Deputy House Leader)—North-West; Hon. M. T. Monguno( Chief Whip)—North-East; and Hon. Pally Iriase( Deputy Chief Whip)—South-South.
It was gathered that if Saraki and Dogara refused to respect the party’s list, APC may resort to sanctions.
It was learnt that some forces in the party are pushing for the appointment of a former National Chairman of PDP, Chief Audu Ogbeh as the head of the party’s Disciplinary Committee.

A top member of the party said: “There is no doubt that Ogbeh is well grounded in party politics and he is a disciplinarian.  We are thinking of him to assist in unraveling the anti-party activities in the Senate and the House.”

Unfortunately for you and the dullard, he has no powers over the leaders of the NASS. It is even in his own interest to make peace with them because they can make life very difficult for him. This is the year 2015 and not 1984 or even 1999.

why not just expel Saraki and accept that you are in opposition in the assembly.
Saraki is a PDP member at heart and greed.
There is no need pretending he is an APC member.

Stop looking for legal loopholes in the elections, there are none

This is all to keep Tinubu under proper control because he is the most ambitious Politician in Nigeria.

How do you know what Buhari prefer and how do you know they are "godfatherless" . Tinubu is irrelevant. And particularly you seem ignorant to the role of the legislator. In the last 16 years can you remember the number of times the President did not get his way with the legislature? Redirect your hatred for Tinubu elsewhere because the man is irrelevant and might even die soon. The people who would really make an impact on the lives of people IF they work properly are the Minister not senate Presidents. Try and tell us ONE THING Nigerians will remember David Mark for. The office is just ceremonial
