While INEC is still compiling and announcing the results of the elections, most Nigerians are focused only on the results of the presidential elections, forgetting that the national assembly results are just as important. Why? Because whichever party holds the majority in both houses and how much majority it has would determine a lot for the future of our country.

First off, the majority party in each house of assembly has a stronger chance if producing the house leaders, ie the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Asides that, having a minimum of 2/3rds of the house majority makes it easier for the majority party to get laws passed or get opposition laws struck down.

We have seen how the sour relationship between the executive and the legislature affected Nigeria over the past four years so we hope that whatever results we get from the HOA elections would make for a peaceful and harmonious relationship between the executive and the legislature.

I can tell you That APC will have up to 2/3 in the House of Rep.... They will also have more than 65 Senators.... This 9th Republic will be a trail blazers..
