Ekweremadu would undertake the duty of the Senate president in his absence until the house decides to either confirm him as the SP or select another individual by majority vote.

His case is a litmus test for other politicians. If Nigeria miss it now, we will forever be missing it.

Nigeria has a multi-party legislature which elected its leaders. But because of President Buhari and his henchmen's maneuvers, this legislature has remained dysfunctional in the last four months.

Buhari acts as if he came to power through military coup. Buhari has presided over Nigeria for four months without ministers. He now wants to completely paralyze the legislature to enable him be a full-blown dictator - like Idi Amin.

Talk of Saraki and CCB is mere political witch hunt; though Saraki might not be free from corruption - like many political players in Nigeria..

Is this the change Nigerians chanted for?

what da fvck was CCB and CCT doing since 2005 when this asset was falsely declared.

thats gross incompetence on their part. more reason i am seeing it as a script.

asset decalred 10 years ago, you were to review and publish in one month. this you have not done till 10 years after, and you expect me to celebrate your crass incompetence


It is better late than never, I would not denounce the fact this is witch-hunt but Saraki himself is not an angel , and the families of those who have suffered and in-some cases died because of his fraudulent cornering of public funds need to get justice. This rings same for all looters in the nigerian space be they Fashola, Tinubu , Bankole, David Mark, IBB, GEJ, Oduah, Maduike etc But the fanfare has to start somewhere and Saraki is not a bad place to begin.

Some people make it seem as thou Saraki is a learner, the guy is a bloody Godfather in Kwara and NC, no better than how Tinubu lords over lagos and many SW states. Let two elephants fight one kills the other we'll slay the survivor another day

Corruption.....


Nollywood Movies is very lucrative Business, Even with as low as 1m naira you can get a standard movie and make an additional 1m - 1.5m in less than One Month, No other biz can gaurantee such a huge return in that short period of time.... This is something people have over looked, Ask people Like AY, AMACO Films and Kunle Afolayan How much they make from a single movie...... Only in nollywood you will invest 1m and get 2m and above in less than 1 month..... PM me for more information. (You will Thank me Later)

Imagine a court case in which the defendant is unavailable, and day 2 into the trial, both the plaintiff, prosecutor and judge are still arguing jurisdiction and jurisprudence. And in which the judge and the prosecutor are working hand in hand. This case is DOA. This criminal judge will soon choke on the money he was paid.

Ekweremadu would undertake the duty of the Senate president in his absence until the house decides to either confirm him as the SP or select another individual by majority vote.
nowhere in the senate standing order of 2007 does it say ekweremadu takes over.section 7 of the senate standing says
" Whenever a vacancy has occurred in the office of the
President of the Senate durng a session , the Clerk shall
report the same to the Senate at its next sitting , and the
Senate shall either forthwith , or at its next Sitting, proceed
to the election of a new President of the Senate in the
manner herein before provided."

the manner herein before provided is the one stated in section 3 subsection 1 and 2a-j stated below

3.-(1) A Senator-elect may, before taking the Oaths
prescribed in the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, take part in the election of the
President and Deputy President of the Senate.
(2) The election of the Presidient of the Senate shall be
conducted in the following manner:
(a) a Senator-elect, addressing the Clerk, shal propose
another Senator elect to the Senate to be President of the
Senate and shall move that such Senate-elect “Do take the
chair of the Senate as President of the Senate”.
(b) a Senator-elect when nominated and seconded shall
inform the Senate whether he or she accepts the nomination
. He may then proceed to address the Senate.
(c) the clerk shall then ask “Are there any further
nomination? , and if there are no further nominations, the
Clerk shall say “I declare the nominations closed”. The
Clerk shall then ask “Are there any further nominations, the
Clerk shall then, declare the Senator –elect so proposed and
seconded elected as President of the Senate. Such –elect
shall be conducted to the Chair by the proposer and
seconder of the motion, and shall take the chair of the
president of the Senate.
(d) if more than one Senator elect is proposed as President
of the Senate , the Clerk shall after the second nomination
ask:
“Are there any further nominations?”, and if there are no
further nominations, the Clerk shall say, “I declare the
nominations closed”.
(e) when only two Senators –elect are nominated and
seconded as President of Senate, the election shall be
conducted as follows:
(i) the Senate shall divide with the proposers and seconders
as Tellers.
(ii) voting shall be conducted by the Clerks-at-the-Table
using the Division List of the Senate with the Tellers in
attendance. The Clerk of the Senate shall submit the result
of the division to the Clerk of the National Assembly.
(iii) the Clerk shall then declare the Senator-elect who has
received the greater number of votes elected as Presidents
of Senate.
(f) when more than two Senators –elect are nominated and
seconded as President of the Senate, the division shall be
conducted in the manner prescribed in Section (e) and the
Senator-elect who has received a majority of votes shall be
the President of the Senate. In the event of no Senator
having received a majority of votes in the division , the
name of candidate having the smallest number of votes
shall be excluded from subsequent divisions. A further
division shall take place.
(g) in the event of an equality of votes , the Clerk shall cause
a further division to be held.
(h) this division shall continue until one candidate is
declared elected as President of the Senate by such
majority.
(i) at any time after the result of the first division is declared,
but before the commencement of a second or subsequent
division a candiadate may withdraw his or her name from
the election , which shall then proceed as if such Senator-
elect had not been nominated. Whatever at any stage a
withdrawal leaves only one candidate remaining, such a
candidate shall, without further division, be declared elected
as President of the Senate.
(j) during the election of a President of the Senate, there
shall be no debate and no question of privilege may be
raised.
(k) all Senators-elect shall participate in the nomination and
voting for President and Deputy President of the Senate.
(j) the election of President of the Senate shall take
precedence over all other business and no motion for
adjournment nor any other motion shall be accepted while it
is ppproceeding and the Senate shall continue to meet if
necessary beyond its ordinary daily time of adjournment,
not withstanding any standing or Special Order, until a
President of the Senate is declared."

before the standing order was amended in 2007,a preside t pro tempore will emerge,but now,the clerk acts as president pro tempore.so ekweremadu cannot preside

Saraki doesn't have to be present before a purely witch hunt court.

It is four months now, Nigeria's legislative arm of government has been dysfunctional, because Buhari wants to be a dictator - as he struggles to "select" who and who shall head the National Assembly.


I Laugh @ ur ignorance cos u alys blame PMB for ur failures.

This man's heart is hardened like a stone and he wants people to honour his invitation too i doubt it. You are not guilty until proven by the court but by this action i think you know what you are running for. The long arm of the law will get you better go to supreme court too and get injunction against your arrest, as if you are indeed above the law. WAIT O if saraki becomes the president what will happen to Nigeria?

I'm highly disappointed. From all indications, this is a let down for me. It shows there are two types of laws in Nigeria.
The one for the rich and powerful and another for the poor common man.

Why wasn't a warrant issued for the arrest?
These people are just playing us like ludo because if this were to be a common man... We all know the police would have arrested him that Friday. Really pathetic
