The constitution of the Federal republic of Nigeria clearly states;

(1)The quorum of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall be one-third of all the members on of the Legislative House concerned.

(2) The quorum of a joint sitting of both the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall be one-third of all the members of both Houses.

Nigeria has 108 senators. Going by the constitution before any sitting can take place, one-thrid of members of the senate or house of assembly must be present.

By this, before the elections can proceed, 72 senators must be present.

Going by reports, just 57 senators were present today, which made the election unconstitutional.

Any contrary opinion is welcomed.

His election can still be nullified, the constitution states that a person aspiring to hold the position of SP must not be one that has been indicted or investigated for fraud, the constitution also made it clear that without the presence of the President of the Federal Republic to Declare open the Assembly, it is Null and Void.

Will you rather be one of Buhari's cows instead of a monkie?

You will do well to quote those sections of "Constitution" you refer to cos what you posit is definitely not in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,1999 as amended.Maybe you quote from that scrap of akara paper Iya Basira sold you this morning.

Why are u insulting your hopeless father?

dridowu:
Hmmm 2 contradictory point in op post. If 1/3, then ceteri paribus Saraki takes it till 2019 but if 2/3 then Saraki might loss.
Anyway, as at now Saraki is the Senate President and we must support him to move Nigeria forward
