Saraki made the announcement on Twitter this afternoon. He wrote "I am grateful that 35 out of 59 APC Senator-elect making majority today endorsed my candidacy as Senate president"

Senate president 2019?

Senate president 2019?

Whoever they support enmasse wins

No. APC, by a simple majority (35 of 59), have chosen Saraki. I expect Akume and Lawan to accept fate and fall in line. With this outcome, all APC senators are expected to push for Saraki's candidacy.

How can 35 chose the senate president of 109 senators

No. Did you miss the part I wrote "with this outcome, all APC senators are expected to push for Saraki's candidacy"? So if 59 of 109 senators support Saraki, how would PDP determine the senate president?

There is no way all 59 senators will support saraku but if it happens then gud for him

Whoever gets at least 55 votes automatically wins the seat, so it ain't over till the fat lady sings. Btw, David mark supports Lawan.

They've endorsed, does it mean they're bound to vote for him? Is that not the same way GEJ was being endorsed left right and centre before GMB beat him? Is that not the same way Atiku was also being endorsed everywhere before GMB got party ticket?

I like the demeanor of GMB to the whole thing: he couldn't careless who wins eventually.

after they're done with their politics, may the best candidate win

They should conduct primaries 4 them


to avoid hatred and acrimony

Until the senators that are alleged to have endorsed Saraki actually announce their endorsement via a press conference I wouldn't take that tweet seriously. Right now both camps are playing mind games.

Why all this struggle for the senate president.

You people should not forget what happened to PDP.

Coz na dis same struggle for power, made PDP forget their work

Ok

everything good always going to d north

chaii, my SS/SE brothers we don enter one chance

exactly!! it's all mind games.

Even if they go to Okija shrine to swear to an oath, i won't take them serious until the election is done and someone emerges.

The coming days are very pregnant and many things will change, many things will happen

Is that Twitter.handle authentic?

The grammar is suspect.
The handle name (why include APC?) is suspect.
The picture is suspect.

So Saraki will be the senate president in the incoming corrupt free government?

Where is the change?

Ok

But an Igbo person should be the Senate President going by the zoning formula we have always used in Nigeria. What is wrong if an Igbo person from any other party is made the Senate president? I'm Writing a petition regarding this and click like if you would sign this petition.

This SARAKI. Is just too power drunk

Goodluck to Sen Bukola saraki.

abeg na Saraki

Ok

OK good for him.. at least he is better being the boss of his own

Good for him.













To be honest, I'm afraid the three most powerful elective positions after the president may be occupied by the South West.
Vice president, Senate president and Speaker of the house of representative.



Tinubu already opined that there will be no zoning while making this selections.


What else can I say?

Saraki has sponsored a number of press reports of late to give the impression that he is the candidate to beat for the senate president. The guy is so desperate that he can do anything to get the plum office. Maybe he reckons that as senate president the effc will discard the corruption charge against him.
Don't under rate him when it comes to throwing money about - after all he was governor for 8 years when the allocation from the federation account was chunky and he is still the de facto governor of hapless kwara state!

Ok. Selfless service is the most important thing by the time the senate president is finally elected by the red/upper chamber.

They released a video recording of the gathering where he was endorsed. I'm unable to attach it.
