My opinion too. It should be Ngige. Yet he is no longer a Senator after May 29th. After all is said and done, Saraki is probably the best choice. Like you, I agree he has baggage but he seems to have come of age and appears to be at that level where Politicians begin to eye a positive legacy. He might see his position as redemption and a second chance to be a dynamic and pro-people Senate President perhaps preparing the grounds for a future presidential challenge. His commitment to the APC cause and hard work on behalf of the Party is commendable and indicative of how he is a determined and resourceful character who could be very useful helping the APC pass laws beneficial for Nigeria.

I stand to be corrected but I think you may need two third of the vote to become President of the Senate. I don't think it's a simple majority thing.

VirginFinder:


So you can too talk like this?!

Positions rotate between the north and south.

How can a southerner be number 3 when a southerner is already number 2?

This is an issue of FACT and not THINKING.

What is the situation NOW

theSpark:


"Notwithstanding its lead, the APC
currently lacks a two-third majority (73),
needed for key decisions. The party will
count on the PDP as it stands."

I believe election of principal officers count as key decisions.

VirginFinder:


Number 3 i.e. Senate Presidency (North - North Central; Bukola Saraki)

Number 4 i.e. Speakership (South - South South; not sure who)

APC wants to make lagos more beta place for lagosians but without the federal support, they cant do it alone. So now that they got federal support, lets support them to make lagos a better place. We should not go back to old times in lagos now that we have the chance.
Vote Ambode for governor.
Vote APC.

Firefire:
ok oo



We at this end are only laughing and observing the CHANGE

kurt09:
D house will choose who they want to lead them. Don't know why we have short memory(Tambuwal case 2011). PDP will play spoiler game. Don't write them off yet. The *fifth* national assembly will be more interesting.

In this new era Nigeria where GMB has kept saying that if Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria, how can Saraki be made senate president with all the numerous looting charges on him. It will completely rubbish the Buhari administration image as corruption fighting if a senate president Saraki emerges.

masseratti:
i dont understand this arguement,George Akume also won in benue,Benue voted for APC in the Presidential elections and George Akume is the minority leader,its only natural hew becomes the president of the senate.

daveP:
