i sorry for saraki, if he mistakely win, he wil receive slap from all angle, and he wil not know when he drop from d seat, and if he decamp,that wil be his end.

Saraki is one very arrogant baastard who doesn't see beyond himself! He wont mistakenly win. And his future endeavor doesn't bother me. He may as well found a new party. I don't give a damn. I just don't like the man angry

This thread is to officially call on noble PDP fans, Supporters, admirers and all patriotic citizens to endorse the candidacy of Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki(APC Kwara) and Honorable Yakubu Dogara (APC, Bauchi) for the positions of Senate President and House Speaker respectively.

Why Senator Saraki and Honorable Dogara:
The emergence of Senator Saraki will mean a major crack in the APC structure and the quest for dominance of this political era. Saraki knowing fully well that he wasn't the APC "nominee" will be more liberal and less partisan because he knows that he needs the PDP Senators to survive. The PDP cannot afford not to reinvent their influence and prepare for 2019.

Honorable Yakubu Dogara, a Christian from Bauchi state has pledged to adopt Hon Leo Ogar (PDP, Delta state) as the Deputy Senate President. He has also pledged that Chairmanship of House Committees will be in 50:50 sharing formular between the PDP and APC. Like Saraki, he isn't the nominee of the APC. His emergence will nullify the APC planned expansion and will whittle their proposed structure. The PDP can't afford to lose this opportunity to assert their influence in the 8th Assembly.

Can We Succeed?
Of the 60 APC Senators, a group of 35 under the Umbrella of "Like Minds" consisting of Senators from the three geo-political zones in the North (NC, NW and North East) have endorsed Senator Saraki. PDP has 49 members of the Senate, 18 from South South, 15 SE, Ekiti 3, Ondo 1, Ogun 1, Taraba 3, and one each for Yobe, Nasarawa and Benue states. A bloc vote of at least the Senators from SS and SE plus the 35 already from the APC Saraki group is more than enough to return Saraki elected. Considering the game of politics, all 49 PDP Senators should not fail to vote for Senator Bukola Saraki on Tuesday.

For the House Speakership, of 214 APC Members, 154 endorsed Gbajabiamila. The 125 PDP Reps (SS 52, SE 38, NC 8, SW 20 and 8 from NE) should endeavour not to miss this opportunity to have a say in the House, for the benefit of themselves and the Party. South South and South East PDP contingents must not disappoint Hon Leo Ogar. They all should mobilise and participate in the election. The Hon Dogara group already has 55-61 APC Reps in their ranks. With the block 125 votes from PDP in addition to the 55-61 pro Dogara APC, the "PDP" will coast to victory and be the defacto leader of the NASS.

We cannot afford to lose this golden opportunity to control the two chambers of the National Assembly. We lost the Presidency, we can't afford to lose the Senate and the House.

I hereby use this medium to call on well meaning Nigerians and the PDP supporters to endorse this proposal.

But this ur analysis is making me have a rethink(anything to see egg plastered on ur face)

I see... however, for Nigeria to really move forward we need a balance of power. We need leaders that are independent minded and not remote-controlled leaders.

We at this end are committed to the Nigeria project of unity in diversity.

The Senate President and his deputy are the exclusive preserve of the party with majority, APC; why not focus on who emerge the Minority Leader and his deputy? How many times has APC shown interest in who emerges the minority leader?

Never again, mon ami. Never again cheesy




If all it took was a 'crack', the canyon in PDP caused by the NWC and the governors attacking each other should already spell disaster for your party.




Explain to me again how voting for two prominent APC members translates to 'PDP controlling the two chambers of the national assembly'. Or why these two Gentlemen would dump the APC that has momentum for the PDP that's been turned into a regional party with significantly diminished power in the North.


Yes he copied us all and we stand by his opinion because like us, he knows the truth and I personally am glad to associate with his current thoughts concerning the PDP. His political values aligns with mine.

Same way you analysed how south west will vote during the presidential election and got it totally wrong. You will still come back here and do the analyses of how Saraki and Dogara lost out after Tuesday election. You are still a learner in Nigerian politics. But till Tuesday, you and your supporters can keep dreaming and deluding each other.

I have supported PDP all my life just because I love jonathan even though I am yourba. I have been accused of been a betrayer by the ones who know me. The ones who do not a liar. But if the PDP do not do the needful in choosing their speaker with their numbers then I guess I would no longer be interested in politics since I neva and would neva be a supporter of their change. My dream is to see APC become PDP to nigerians.

Some of you are not just wise or choose to delude yourselves in your drunken state of self denial. Is it the same barcanista who couldn't read the signs that PDP was heading for a disgraceful loss at the presidential polls that you say is a good analyser? The same person who in the company of his drunken keyboard warriors litter this forum with their wayward and biased analysis?. I really shake my head for the opposition. I was in church today and what Pastor Tunde bakare said about buhari made me believe in four years time people like barcanista and his gang of clueless pretenders would decamp just like they did last time- The true nairaland representation of what politicians were under PDP. jumping ship for their own stomach.

154 voted Femi
30 were absent.
Femi only needs 27 more votes to win
Majority of the absentees are actually from Ogun and Oyo so lets say he gets 15 of the 30.
You are saying Femi who has been in the house for so long can't get 12 from the other side?

To forget that some members of the house want to decamp and this will be seen as a sign of loyalty

As for Saraki, I hope you realize that not every APC senate elect participated in the mock election, some were not present. A lot of Saraki supporters are not going to vote for him just to spite the Party when they know this will affect their re-election.



You can solve the rest

Actually about 60 APC rep members are absent not 30 thus femi just need half of absentee members votes furthermore with Dogara having a PDP guy as his dupty will reduce his chance among 60 APC members that were absented

...well, the probability that Gogara would get less vote from the 60 abscentees is the same probability that Gbaja would get less vote from the 154 members who voted for him during the primary.
Gogara has brighter chances to win the real election than Gbaja, unless he steps down before the D-day, which is highly unlikely.

Don't forget, it was Gbaja that moved a motion during the 7th Assembly,demanding that APC should take over the leadership of the house, a motion that nearly destabilized the house.
