David mark would have emerged the senate president if all the APC senators had gone for that meeting.

1/3 of the house is 36 and we have more than that .

Mumu...Buhari is behind his victory to checkmate Tinubu and cage him. For some reason Yorubas are not understanding this. Buhari engineered this.

omenka:
Woman, read my lips, I am not interested.. Is this how you follow guys around in real life even when they are snubbing you?? Shooo!!

Ezenwammadu:
The proclamation was read at the begining

AnneMomoh:


A quorum is not need to vote a Senate President- just a simple majority. 57 senators is above half of 109 senetors

NaijaTalkTown:
This is a game and APC i know, will not back down. Saraki will be impeached, Ekweremmadu impeached and APC will get their deserved senate presidency. It is just a matter of time, strategy, counter strategy and a little bit help from EFCC.

NaijaTalkTown:
It is the right of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria to proclaim the new assembly before they can select a new leader. The election was however carried out in the absent of the president. This election is illegal and not recognized by the Nigerian constitution. The election should be nullified and the clerk should be persecuted. And Saraki should be expelled from APC. EFCC get ready to probe someone.

muh4lyf:
I am neither an APC member nor am I a PDP member.. But what we fail to understand is that Nigerian politicians are all thesame... Mind you the change clamoured for might just have been dashed... The masses seem to have returned back to square 1 cos saraki would surely fraustrate PMB effort... I shake my head for the poor in spanish

aguiyi:
the Daura President will be thought how far Nigeria has moved since 1985.

David mark would have emerged the senate president if all the APC senators had gone for that meeting.

Ezenwammadu:
Nothing illegal took place today.For the senate to convene it requires 1/3 quourm which is 36

Didn't you call Jonathan clueless??

Dewze:


What if Buhari wanted Saraki to win to temper the influence of Tinubu in his administration. What if Buhari (or his "confidant" advisers) new Saraki will not attend the meeting. What if it was a ploy to draw the lawan supporters away in other to give Saraki his chance.
