This is the type of discussion I like, it shows we still have brilliant minded ones amidst us. The reordering of the elections is a master stroke on the part of the Senate and they deserve to be commended for that. It is a move to checkmate a desperate President or Governor who is hellbent to perpetuate himself in power against the wishes of the masses or the electorates. Let's view it this way, if the Presidential Elections was to be first conducted, it would enhance a kind of bullying the structures in the States, local governments to work forcefully for the President emergence against all odds especially within its party framework with the belief that the other contestants (Senate and House of Reps alongside the State House of Assembly) can be massively rigged into power going by the turn out of the party Presidential representative at the polls which is nothing but pure fraud. On the contrary, if the Presidential or Governorship elections come last it is likely that automatic securing of the seat by the President or Governor is not guaranteed because it will be more glaring that the structures in the State and local governments that were hitherto supposed to work for him may not be in unison because of the uncertainty that awaits them in their yet to be conducted elections. I think the reordering of elections should be fully embraced 28 Likes 3 Shares |

The reordering dealt a big blow to their plans to manipulate the election. It's a master stroke from the national assembly. Everyone must earn his votes. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Ratello:While i appreciate their sagacity and fight-back plan,i think it is not a well-thought plan. Majority of the senators and honourables would be sidelined even before the election. Saraki and a few others who have the support of their state chairmen would benefit from this plan while the ones with no support would suffer. For instance, Dino Melaye, Kwankaso, Shehu Sani do not have the support of the State Chairman, State governor, how do they intend to get the party ticket. But for us, the populace, it is a good one for our democracy to thrive. We don't want power too in one arm of the government at the detriment of the others. We also don't want any form of unity among the 3 arms so that one can also checkmate the others. 6 Likes |

But is it a constitutional matter for an election to be ordered in a particular manner or the umpire has the exclusive reserve to decide how the elections should go? All the OP has explained are politics and not constitution hence has no bearing on what ought to be done. Let INEC decide what they want to do and the legislators should face their jobs. You can see how fast they were able to pass bills that favor their selfish aspirations and delay those that affect the masses they are representing 4 Likes |

pentax: I support this. This will create a level playing field in the political terrain. Now people would't be forced to vote for candidates from the incoming president's party (as the case presently is). Good one Senate, for the first time they have said anything worth listening to 4 Likes |

Does that mean, the legislators are thinking of working against their own party or not working for the emergence of their party at the top? Many of them know that ordinarily they wont be going back to the national assembly |

I pray for a day when Nigerian Politicians will campaign for reelection based on their sterling performance, in a previous term, and not on money politics, the power of incumbency factor or ethnoreligious sentiments. This reordering, if successful, is a step in the right direction. 6 Likes |

By Law, senate has no right interfering with the election time table. INEC is an independent body, senate trying to reorder elections time table or sequence is unconstitutional and undermines INEC as an independent body. Its is unconstitutional and will not stand. 5 Likes |

A performing President or party will not be bothered about the order of elections. Political scientists have always argued for a bottom- up democràcy. The smaller elections ought to come first and end with the biggest which is the Presidential. The grassroots should dwtermine the centre and not the other way round. 6 Likes |
