[

b]The inauguration of the 8th national assembly is now underway, TheCable can report.

This is contrary to the rumour that it has been postponed to allow the All Progressives Congress (APC) put its house in order and avoid a contest for the positions of senate president and speaker.
“If the inauguration is going to be postponed, a notice would have been issued by now,” an official in the office of the clerk of the national assembly had told TheCable. “The rumour is nothing but propaganda to cause confusion.”

A returning senator also told TheCable that there would be a constitutional crisis if the new assembly is not inaugurated today.

“It is just like President Goodluck Jonathan stepping down and President Buhari is not inaugurated. There would be a crisis. The 7th assembly ended last Thursday and legislative business has to resume today, if not there will be crisis,” he said.

Buhari summoned an emergency meeting of all APC senators and reps for Tuesday morning following the endorsement of Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – although APC had preferred Ahmad Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila for the nation’s No. 3 and No. 4 positions.

Security has been tightened around the national assembly complex ahead of the inauguration.

Finally found a link to back my info. Lalasticlala

if by mistake saraki wins, femi likely to win,how do you think the other region will react having osinbanjo already as VP

NASS belongs to Nigeria and there is no way APC's internal strife would have messed with the inauguration of the new assembly for any reason whatsoever..

Both Vanguard & Thisday are anti APC and were only trying to generate headlines.

By the end of today, all will be resolved.

I tend to believe this info more than the other one even though I don't trust the source.... It would be unheard of for the National assembly to be closed and yet not on recess.... I pray this news is true for the growth of our democracy is partly dependent on it.

Thank you...this thier press freedom will do more harm than good. They sometime write their imaginations as news all in the name of press freedom.

Bukola Saraki elected Senate President. He was the only nominee.

Nigerian house of commotion

I wonder why a reputable news media such as Vanguard could spread such lies. I thought those were exclusively meant for PDP propaganda blogs.

Oh well, let's see how the whole drama pans out. Anyway it goes, I think Saraki has allowed his over ambition get the best of him.

He has taken the chair and is about to be sworn in by the Clerk.

Saraki has being elected senate president

Saraki was nominated by Sani Yerima.

It's live on the NTA Network.

Saraki is a dark horse
People like that don't last,
He has made enough enemies and he will continue to look over his shoulders for the rest of his tenure!
It will be a miracle if he is not impeached before the tenure ends!
Unless he keeps his nose clean and he is not corrupt.
But that is another theory of the goat and the yam.

We already know this!

Saraki the new senate president.

Saraki has bn nominated by a Senator from Zamfara. U can make use of ur TV for all I care.

We are waiting.

I knew it was not true.

Press things

ok. hope those who can do the job better will emerge today.

This is a democratic Coup. Why were Lawan faction not there? Now PDP has a firm grip of the Senate. More drama to follow. Speechless. .

Saraki is the new senate president.

Change the Changers


PDP!!! Teaching them how it's done.

Meanwhile someone is holding a meeting somewhere.



ThefakeStan

Saraki is too proud and arrogant to be the Senate President.
