APC Buhari First Mistake....fooled By Saraki by Mouth123(m): 8:54pm On Jun 10, 2015 |
After so many attempt to manage the brimming crises in the legislature, vice president Yemi Oshibajo invited Saraki to a meeting, but Saraki said he refused to be summoned by a mere commissioner, so he refuse to honour the invitation. After Pres. Buhari arrived in Abuja early on Tuesday, he invited all APC legislators to a meeting with him at the International Conference Center at 9 a.m. where Saraki assured the president that he would attend the meeting, Saraki knew that In a poll held over the weekend, the party had chosen Senator Ahmed Lawan as its candidate for the Senate President position and gbajabiamila as deputy. Saraki held a marathon meeting with members of the People Democratic Party to cement their support for him. The Ahmed Lawan faction of the APC awoke to news of the PDP’s endorsement of Mr. Saraki. Even so, they still headed for the 9 a.m. meeting called by President Buhari. They were waiting for the presidential parley when Senator Saraki and some other “rebel” senators of the APC moved into the National Assembly complex, where the police had thrown a cordon to prevent workers and reporters from entering, for the “election” of principal officers. While lawmakers loyal to Mr. Lawan and Mr. Gbajabiamila waited for President Buhari to arrive, word reached the president that Mr. Saraki had been elected as Senate President. (funny) Mr. President was deceived by Dr. Bukola Saraki. That’s why he did not bother to attend the [APC legislative] meeting he called. Mr. Saraki and his cohorts also ignored the protocol for the president’s formal proclamation for the inauguration of the National Assembly, a source close to Saraki said they relied on a letter written by Buhari asking them to be inaugurated. Instead, 57 senators loyal to Mr. Saraki, most of them PDP members, unanimously “elected” Mr. Saraki after he was nominated by Senators Dino Melaye and Sanni Yerima. The rebelling APC Senators worked overnight to produced new rules for the elections with the help of outgoing Senate President, David Mark. Mr. Mark was later elected as “Senate Majority Leader”. Mr. Saraki was quickly sworn-in as the new Senate President even as his APC colleagues were at the ICC waiting for Mr. Buhari to address them. . |

Saraki polled 57 votes (out of 108 constituted a quorum) against his opponent who did not get any vote. About 51 senators were reportedly absent during the voting, dont forget Saraki defected to Buhari's side last year, it was his old colleagues in the PDP that voted him in.. lol. (motives) Later that day, another PDP candidate Yakubu Dogara was elected head of the House of Representatives, narrowly defeating the candidate of Buhari's coalition once again. Few APC members have shuned Saraki including Senator Remi Tinubu. With victories for the PDP troops at the legislatives could be a sign that it is rebuilding its power base following its electoral defeat and could pose a threat to Buhari just days after his May 29 inauguration and near future. The future is not sure, the change we want is now in danger 1 Like |
