HOW APC SENATORS FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO IMPEACH SARAKI – LAI MOHAMMED

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has revealed why it has been difficult for the All Progressives Congress, APC, to remove Dr. Bukola Saraki as Senate President.



Mohammed, speaking how the problems being witnessed in the ruling party started, said that Saraki forced himself into the office of the Senate President and made Ike Ekweremmadu, from the opposition, his deputy.



The Minister quoted Saraki as saying that ‘If you remove me, you are going to have PDP as Senate President’ adding that the Senate President had aligned and worked for the PDP all along.



Mohammed said this in an interview with newsmen in Lagos, where be reacted to the gale of defections in the APC.

He said that recent events in the party did not come to him as surprise, adding that they were expected.

He said, “The foundation for what you see today was laid the day the Senate President forced himself on the party as Senate President.

“That was the day the foundation for what you are witnessing today was laid because traditionally, it is the party’s prerogative who becomes the presiding officers in the two houses. Here, we were met with a fait accompli when Dr. Bukola Saraki, against the wishes of the party, did the unthinkable by aligning with the opposition and making them an offer they could not refuse.

“I can’t quite remember the number, but almost the entire 40 plus senators in PDP voted for him. So, he needed only a minority from the APC. We were all waiting for Mr. President to come and address us on this issue at the International Conference Centre, it was announced that he (Bukola) had emerged as the Senate President.

“From that day, we knew we had two problems: one, we had a Senate President who imposed himself on the party, and to make it worse, as an insurance, he arranged for an opposition person to be Deputy Senate President; that makes it impossible for us to remove him, hence his thinking, ‘If you remove me, you are going to have a PDP Senate President.’

“From that day, we had a problem. This is not a surprise at all. Of course, you could see the behaviour of the National Assembly since then. We have a National Assembly in which we had a clear majority in both houses, but which treated the executive with contempt and actually slowed down the work of government.

“In 2016, 2017 and 2018, our budgets were delayed. In 2016 and 2017, the earliest we got our budgets was June. Key appointments, nominations and confirmations for key organisations that could move the government forward like the CBN, like the NDIC, were delayed.
“Really, it couldn’t have been worse if the PDP had a majority in the National Assembly.”

This one has come again with his ugly lying face... No need to read the write up. Still same old nonsense

3millionia:
the man is my mentor

my brother so you are a thief

lai lai mohammed hav cum with anoda one

This lieing machine still exist? What a lamentation? Was it saraki that also delayed the appointment of ministers by the dullard 7 months after swearing in? Bunch of excuse giving APC re.tards!

Saraki has mastered the laws of power in the sense of Green. His political wisdom is unequaled in Nigeria.

He reminds me of Talleyrand the great minister. I would not be surprised to find him president of Nigeria one of these days.

engineerboat:
Mr. Lai Mohammed; Saraki must be impeached hooo, by tulasi ni ooo

By fire by force. Once NASS reconvenes, he's going to be impeached.

Buhari was also imposed to Nigeria, election is election

Babacele:
Saraki is gone and nothing any of you can do about it.

It's past noon already. Wake up from your sleep and stop dreaming

Why not manage and contend with him when he emerged as the SP. must you remove him as the President because his not the anointed candidate.

After all he belong to the same APC. but instead you engaged him in battle all through his tenure all in an attempt to remove him. Forhgetting the same APC did same to PDP with Tambuwal.

Its simply the Law of Karma. You reap what you sow.

Sow whirl wind and reap same.

Now they are desperate to end Democracy in Nigeria because they have never being democrats, its strange to them.

The type of Saraki is highly sought for in the International Politics.

USA will pay any amount to have Saraki defect to Republican if this transfer window permits that.

Lia Mohammad is just coming to terms with the move Saraki the highest paid Maradona in Nigeria politics made 3years ago.

Saraki is far far far ahead of APC Juggernauts put together.

Please let's leave this local politics and let him be at the helm of affairs and see how he can lead us to the promised land.

Says who, if u can impeach him then go ahead and do so. APC has failed Nigerians so if u don't have a better thing to say. Go and sleep coz the man Saraki has done thing to u nor Apc join together. [quote author=HzRF post=70260643][/quote]

We already knew this the day Saraki scheme his way into the Senate presidency seat and he worked tenaciously to rubbish the good motive of PMB.

But unfortunately many foolish Nigerians never saw this but are always quick to blame PMB especially the indomie and shakushaku generations who are so dumb and naive

saraki is a coup planner

The real issue at hand; 2015 election budget cost N93bn this Include purchase of new card reader technology, deployment and training on card reader usage
2019 inec suplimentary budget N242bn(+2018 inec budget just passed) this is an increment of over N142bn, without purchase of new card reader machines
Elections conducted after 2015 shows high tendencies of vote buying with highest buyer paying 5k.
1000000000000 (100bn excess inec budgets) / 5000(average cost of vote buying) = 20000000 votes (20m illegal and induced votes)

- Why are they hell bent on impeaching saraki now 6months to termination of APC rule ?
- why did ministries and agency heads fail to show up at NASS to defend their budgets

jimoqua:

A hopeless power thirsty backstabber that did same thing to his father and sister in Kwara. A fraud In human flesh.

He single handedly plunged Nigeria into dilemma and slowed down the progress of the country.

Oloriburuku okunrin. He defected to APC to be the Senate president and connived with the opposition to make them deputy and some people say he is smart.

In a sane world he should be avoided by any reasonable progressive.

Liar Mohammed

Impeachment is not by Might
Impeachment is not Shouting
Impeachment is not by Night vigil

It's by 2/3 Majority Says Our Constitution...

APC and Bmc guys should cool their Tempers, Look for Point and kill , boil beans and Eat becos The Same food you guys served GEJ with Tambuwal is the same food u hv

even buhari himself congratulated tambuwal and applauded him then...It's on record..I just taya for all this political heatwaves..

Buhari, Osinbajo, Saraki, Ekweremadu, Dogara, Fasola, Lai Muhammed, Fayemi, Buratai, Maina, Daura, Kwakwanso, Atiku, Wike, Amaechi, Magu, Okorocha, Idris etc ARE ALL FRIENDS

Their activities and situations could best be likened to those of players/teams in the 5 major leagues in Europe. Here, we hurl insults at one another because the referee allegedly favour one team at the expense of another side but after the match you see Hazard swapping shirts with Messi, Pogba hugging DeBruyne and later in the evening Cesc Fabregas takes Rakitic, Jordi Alba, Suarez to the club and they spend their millions popping bottles.
THE LESSON: They're all friends.

Ki lo kan mi ati nnamdi KANU, only KANU I know na nwanko KANU, Bleep all enemy of Nigeria, cursed is he who see's truth and ignore it just to please a mere mortal like him

I think, the sure way to remove Saraki from being the Senate President is for APC to challenge his emergence as the President in court.

They should force the court to interpret the 2/3rd majority threshold needed to appoint a Senate President, since Saraki did not meet that threshold when he was voted into power, as he only got 55 votes and used a different interpretation of the constitution i.e. 2/3rd majority of a quorum to get elected. The Supreme Court should be forced to render judgment on this.

They will need a good lawyer, to over the overcome the doctrine of collateral estoppel; which in this case is that, ‘having accepted him as their Senate President for years, they are estoppel from challenging his election as illegal’. Judges usually apply this doctrine, and strike cases when there are no constitutional breaches.

The case can be expedited, if the Presidency refer it directly to the Supreme Court in form of asking them to clearly interpret the constitution, which is their job.

The Supreme Court can come out with a ruling within weeks and whichever way the court rules, Saraki will be tossed...ie if the court does not reject or strike the case.

If the court ruled that, you need 2/3rd of active members; then Saraki’s Presidency is invalidated; if they rule that; 2/3rd of quorum members is okay, Saraki’s Presidency is validated...but it means that, all APC need to remove him from office is 2/3rd of quorum members, which is like 2/3rd of 1/3 of members.

You no get sense


I repeat; you no get sense

Buhari has majority members in the house from his party in both houses

He can always negotiate his bills with the legislature to reach a COMPROMISE (the way Obama, trump and other leaders of sensible countries do)

But because your sai baba is dumb and stupid, he cannot achieve Any thing sensible

look at this one?


"the supreme court should be forced"

in other words compromise the autonomy of the supreme court in order to achieve your foolish aims


Wisdom is lacking in this country unfortunately.


let us even assume that your silly plan works


You really think the house can have only 36 apc members in the house to pull the plug on saraki?

Without even 10 to 15 Pdp members in the house?

Even within the apc ranks, not all will vote to boot saraki out.


And let us assume that thr stupid plan works, it also means that Buhari can be pushed out of office with 2/3 of the quorum in the both houses (36 and 120 respectively)


You guysshould use your brains

the whole thing is about budget padding and budget repadded
the whole saga started when saraki and senate was accused of budget padding, which he refuted.
On resubmittion, there was addition of figures. (repadded). Since then other agencies had been padding their budgets.
