Two former governors of the Peoples Democratic Party have been fingered as the arrow head of the revolt against President Muhammadu Buhari and his party in the choice of the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The two politicians who are former governors of a South-South and South-East states, are said to be the main financiers of the revolt against the president and his party, the APC.

The governors are said to have mobilised a huge war chest for bankrolling the political revolt against the candidates endorsed by the president and his party for the post of Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The former governors are reported to have hatched the plot in a desperate bid to ensure that the APC , which controls the majority in both chambers of the National Assembly, does not produce the two key principal officers in the 8th National Assembly.

They are said to have mobilised their members in the two chambers of the NASS and directed them not to work with the two men endorsed by the APC but to work with those who have defied the leadership of the APC and Buhari in the choice of the two principal officers.
The attention of the President is said to have been drawn to the activity of the two former governors before he departed Nigeria for the G7 meeting in Germany.
Apparently not being able to proffer a response to the development, the President is said to have referred the matter to the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, and asked him to take steps to douse the tension being generated over the election of the two principal officers.
However, while Tinubu has waded into the matter with a view to ensuring that the APC produces the two leaders in the NASS, key loyalists of the president are said to be peeved that many senators and House of Representatives members on the platform of the party had openly revolted against the party.
A top source told Vanguard last night that the affected men would be made to face some disciplinary actions to be decided at the highest level of the party.

“We are sure that some of them would be made to sight their report cards with the new EFCC to be put in place by the president, which will not tolerate graft in any form. The feeling seems to be that the name of a former military officer being suggested as the chairman of the anti-corruption agency is already sending shock waves to some of the political actors in the country and they may not like to be caught on the wrong side of history,” the source explained.

On the other hand, the two former governors, who are now Senators on the platform of the PDP, are said to have argued that they needed to work out alliance with the APC members to take over the National Assembly so as to cover their tracks in the states they recently left behind.
A lawmaker close to Senator Saraki and Representatives Dogara vowed last night that they were going ahead to contest the election despite threats from the APC leadership.

cc ishilove lalasticlala

I love this game of politics, APC go feel the heat.

Aku ko! Story for the birds

It's getting more intereating.....


2015 year of drama for Nigeria

It's ok, let them ride on

This is just the beginning. APC is shit

Revolt ko, revolution ni. Rabbish

sometimes I'm really forced to believe our politicians think we the masses are dumb and stupid. when shall our leaders stop pointing accusing fingers, shifting blames, and giving flimsy excuses for the rot in Nigeria political terrain? the painful part of it all is that we the suffering masses will still come here to attack ourselves on their behalf. these people do not care a bit about us. pdp, apc, apga are all the same one and two. how can the ruling party tell us that the calculated efforts of just two members of the opposition party were able to disintegrate the apc as a body. this goes a long way to explain the situation we have put ourselves by trusting the apc will emancipate us from political, financial, mental, and poverty slavery the pdp led government had put us for the past sixteen years. or is this the fulfillment of the scripture that a house built on sand will collapse when the wind blows?. apc we the suffering masses have put all our faith in you, if you guys cannot put this great nation Nigeria aright, then we are doomed forever. it's quite a pity the apc led government is starting on a wrong foot. #babanowyouarebackcallyourboystoorder .don't give pdp the avenue to laugh out loud

That's a game...play on! Stop the complaint. APC, no be you say you be oga? Kontinuu....

.

.?

This is the problem I've got with all thses fake media houses, they refuse to blame Tinubu who orchestrated this charade from the begining.

Saraki and PDP owns the senate

IF JUST 2 PPL IS CAPABLE OF DIS ORGANISING A MAJORITY PARTY AGENDA.. THEN APC NEED TO ADD (L) TO DERE NAME..

I PRAY DIS SEASON FILM FAVOUR MY COUNTRY PEOPLE.. #WELCOMEDEMOCRAY.
LESSON LEARNT: ITS ONE THING TO B D RULING PARTY ITS ANOTHER THING TO BE A FUNCTIONAL RULING PARTY ..without the "functional" ruling party is just a logo/status. cc tinubu,buhari,lia m . etc

Common sense tells me the PDP, even though they are minority would try all they can to control the NASS considering that the difference in number of pdp vs apc legislators isn't much. It clearly isn't the plan of just 2 anonymous ex-governors; it's obvious to even a primary school pupil that creating confusion in the APC leadership ranks is the only option the entire PDP has at staying afloat.

It's okay.

We are watching

Ok

I knew Akpabio will be among the engineers of this political onslaught. He is poised to return PDP to glory. Not only does he have the will, he also has the financial war chest.

we are watching in 3D.

J

Ok

We are going to witness democracy.

Most of these politicians, whether PDP or APC are just fighting for themselves...for their selfish gains. I sometimes want to cry for this potentially great nation we live in. I just pray Buhari would be able to perform with all these thieving law makers. Anyway,if you have problem lasting long in bed, hit me up on BBM- 7C22F6EC.

Nawa o

Vanguard and their stories. ...

Reminds me of what Amaechi said, "We had disagreements but we decided to shove it aside and get the power first then we will disagree".

I doubt if he knew that when they formally start the disagreement, it would tear down APC.

But then, must it be one person nominated? Why wouldn't a party nominated 2 or 3 and present to the house to elect. PDP problem started with imposition of one person, now APC problems has just started
