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.

The current Senate President, David Mark is from Benue. I think it's fair to give it to another state.

etilogue:
Its a pity that the people saying Bukola is a good choice for the senate president knows little or nothing about him. He was the governor of Kwara for 8 years, he then chose a figurehead governor to rule for 4 years and still kicking for another term. As an indigene of Kwara state, I can't name 7 major achievement of bukola and his figurehead governor. Bukola joining APC was just to get the post he wants and

nothing more. Will never support him

because 90% of assets in Kwara has

been taken by him, uncountable number
of hectares, houses, hotels etc

If u can name 7 achievements of Bukola in Kwara then u are a big LIAR and saying Bukola is having 90% of assets in Kwara shows that u know nothing about d state.The real asset owners in kwara state are Senator smart Adeyemi,Olobayo of royals,Jani Ibrahim,Kamoru of kamwire,Henry&George,JMK,JKK,Kawu Baraje and Muina Shagaya.If u have anything against him no problem but lying against his personality is mischievous.If Saraki is so corrupt,i don't think he would have d gut to raise an alarm on fraud on Oil subsidy.

Defects to APC.

Very likely

Teebashy:
Hmmmmm....Bukola saraki
Once he was made d senate president, I don't tink buhari govt will be d govt of masses
Ask kwara ppl dey will tel u more abt d man

l know they are still going to give him but, it always good to check his previous act in kwara. ask common neutral man on the street of kwara, do it inform of random sampling and listen to what they will tell you.

notwithstanding, since he is going to be the next senate president. let just keep our finger cross and see how it goes.

coogar:


just kidding!

you must be related to Jk lol

Mbediogu:


People are saying the Sarakis have converted Kwara to their private property. Now the encroachment is becoming national. His father was Senate President, now he is going to be. From there he will call in others. Kudos to the Sarakis.

Wow. It would be the first a father and son would have held the same office.

Our so called agent of change, how can these people prove that we are one Nigeria when they started talking like this at this early stage? Please don't forget that the oil in the Niger Delta belongs to a region since your post sharing belongs to those that voted more for APC.

Akume could be the Senate Leader, and Remi Tinubu would be the chair of a "juicy" committee.

niyifour:
Then tell me where is the change








Bukola use eight year for governor in kwara state, 4yeas for Senator under the umbrella of PDP


So pls tell me where is the change

This happen to be what we are telling Nigerians, you need to project the future not what you are currently facing. Buhari Osinbajo are good people and some few people among APC leaders but what of others corrupt politician who dump PDP to APC with there selfish interest. now the time has come for people to dance to the sound of their talking drum. No option.

Saraki is a Fulani; Buhari is a Fulani.

The senate has choose it's leadere without external forces

ogene007:

As if APC has the required two-third. Kindly note that the PDP will have a lot to say about who becomes senate president as long as their 49 senators remain together.

You see. I keep watching the comments here in 3D and i'm amazed that it has not been mentioned that the senate presidency will be subjected to a vote which the PDP senators will be a part of. Have we 4gotten so soon how Tambuwal clinched the speakership with opposition votes?
I[b]f there is a crack in APC's ranks, the opposition votes, which will normally be bloc votes, will be the decider.[/b]

billyG:

who be this 1?is smart adeyemi frm kwara?

Smart Adeyemi owns the biggest hotel in ilorin.. he started as NUJ president first in kwara before becoming national NUJ president. That was how he started becoming relevant. He has always been an ilorin man and most kogi west guys...they preferred being identified with kwara rather than the igbiras in kogi central and kogi north.

Saraki the master schemer, very sleek and tactical....why am I not surprised!!!!

In as much as I wanted saraki as the senate president in my heart , my head says no to the idea,he ruled my states for 8 good years ,the states treasury was selfishly drained ,that not enough went to the capital market to collect huge bonds which our now puppet governor Ahmed is gladly paying. All the capital project he put in place during his 8yrs were from the bond he collected that include (Kwara state university,School of Aviation Ilorin,Songa Farm). He quickly rushed a documentary on AIT with Ahmed 4yrs ago when it was clear the zimbabwe farmers were used to scam kwarans. Rumours have it that Saraki's wife still receives the first lady's allowances even when Ahmed's wife occupy's the stupid office of the first lady. The sentiments is shared by hundreds of thousands who voted for PDP in the last election. I am for change though but we must admit he escape this time around by riding on GMB's back. The rift btw him and his late father then was as a result of bukky not giving enough to his father out of the state's allocation. Let me shut my mouth oooo. Sai bukky Sai leader . Baba we dey follow u oloye.

billyG:

who be this 1?is smart adeyemi frm kwara?

I'm a real Kwaran who know much about d state than to allow LIARS like u to continue giving people false information about d state.Are u now saying bcs Smart Adeyemi is from Kogi State,we should deny him his asset in hotels biz in d state bcs he alone owned 50% of 3star hotels in d state and u are here telling us 90% assets including hotels belong to Bukola.I challenge u to name any hotels or assets that belongs to Bukola in d State.These are visible achievements of Bukola in Kwara state that any passerby will tell u.1.establishment of Kwara state university.2.kwara aviation school.3.shonga farm.4.kwara metropolitan square.5.post office overhead bridge.6.kwara diagnostic centre.7.completion of kwara stadium main bowl and u are here talking thrash.

MEILYN:
Keep crying like a little baby okay? Nobody gives a damn what you think. Whether he is a rogue or not, he is still going to be the Senate President. Now go and hide where the sun doesn't shine, Mr Ichido.

Don't mind that idiot. Saraki is a man with a vision. Look at the way he took advantage of Zimbabwean farmers, during the land review, and brought them to kwara state. The communities and fulanis are benefiting from that programme today. I was told liquid milk is available in Naija today like here in the UK and other developed economy. Kudos to him if eventually emerged the senate president.

Saraki achieved nothing as kwara state governor. His successor is even worse.

Your head de there. More like pay back time.

I see a similar scenario in 2011 playing out again where tambuwall insisted and eventually won the HOR speakership as against PDP's preferred candidate mulikat adeola akande with the help and support of opposition then.

I trust PDP members Mark et al, to resist and refuse saraki, the obvious preferred candidate of the froggy-eyed, greedy jagabantis and opt for akume.

The unholy and ungodly coming together of the aggrieved politicians congress (APC) will crumble sooner than expected.

We are all eyes and ears....eagerly

CFCfan:

Wow. It would be the first a father and son would have held the same office.

His father was NOT Senate President .Simply not true

I believe Saraki shld become the Senate president but in the spirit of fairness and national unity the post of speaker of HOA shld be given to SS and SE considering the great risk taken by their members no matter how relatively small their numbers might have been. Most of them suffered gory attacks and rejection, some lost their lives, and some became permanently incapacitated just because of their believe in "Change". Therefore alloting them the post will give them a sense of belonging since what we want is a govt. of national unity. The SW gave block vote to GEJ in 2011 yet we didn't occupy any major position despite that heavens did not fall. GMB shld be careful of ethnic sycophants from his people whom in their selfish interest will want to cause disaffection btw him and his allies from other regions. My humble submission!!

Yadoctora:

lol...and the people of kwara keep following him sheepishly pike fools. I have never in my life seen a people or state without a mind of their own, they are largely dependent and don't even have a voice of their own.

The sarakis firm grip on these people is so annoyingly amazing at this age and time, such that one wonders the kind of juju he uses on them. The same people he uses every year for ritual when the ignorant and hungry people stampede themselves to death all in the name of getting a share of their plate of rice and meat from sarakis 'benevolence'...lol

The earlier the people of kwara let themselves off the hook of the saraki dynasty, the better for them. Pathetic set of people

*spits*

patrickmuf:
It's expected since my SS and SE people decided to put their eggs in one basket...Saraki deserves it but he should please wash his hands off corruption cos APC cannot afford to fail...

I shake ur wisdom with both hands. Good talk

Honestly I love your write up but it centre around street fallacy like GEJ is a drunkard,GEJ is bleeping Stella oduah,allinson maduekwe,PEJ is childless,these are street talks and your beautiful post can be regarded as such[a street talk]RUMOUR

If Saraki is senate president, the anti corruption image that Buhari has cultivated will be rubbished. Nobody will believe APC and the promises it made Nigerians. This is where Buhari puts his feet down and demand someone else. Saraki is poster boy for corruption and has so many corrutption cases on-gong. how would a hugely corruption Saraki shepherd the legislation reforms that the new NASS is going to face, including the reform of EFCC. Buhari should not fail even before he starts. Tinubu will try to load the system with a bunch of his fellow looters so as to dilute the scrutiny he is going to face as a new anti corruption drive gets underway. Unless Buhari is going to tell Nigerians that with his wide knowledge of the Nigerian landscape, he can't find somewhat honest people he will work with - people who backgrounds are not as clouded as the Tinubus and the Sarakis.

Goodluck Jonathan, Asari Dokubo, Tompolo,Papa Iron Oritsejafor, Pa Edwin Clark, Peter Odili............this millitants are already in SS. we dont need to allocate positions to them.....

yeye people.

Really pathetic

Firefire:
ok oo



We at this end are only laughing and observing the CHANGE

Your point being that there should be no senate president or an alien should occupy the post?
It has to be one of the returning senators.
What exactly do you understand CHANGE to be?

help3852:

The indigenes reported it to EFCC in 2012, he sought for protection from GEJ, but GEJ refused, that is his reason for decamping to APC with the entire state party structure.

Nice try but its a damn lie why did the EFCC not probe him despite the fact GEJ refuse to help him Stop the hatred bro we all know that all those politicians are not clean including the general so let give them the chance and see the outcome

Let us get real.
The choice of a senate president is not Buhari's sole perogative.
He can have an express will in the choice or who finally makes his candidate but not stuff like senate president.
GEJ had a different choice to Tambuwal, see how that choice went?
The man has to choose his battles carefully.
I don't know what you heard but the change I want does not mean Buhari turning stones into bread.
I simply want a change from business as usual.
Saraki might not be the best man for that but I do not see any better candidate in the Senate. Unless you want Buhari to hold both positions.
