All Progressives Congress senators have nominated Ali Ndume as the Majority Leader of the Senate, in defiance of the party’s directive that Ahmed Lawan be given the role.

Mr. Lawan lost the senate presidency election to Bukola Saraki, despite being the party’s official candidate.

The party insists its preferred candidates who failed to be elected president and speaker for the Senate and House of Representatives respectively, be elected Majority Leaders in both chambers.

The crisis has stalled legislative business in both arms of the National Assembly for weeks.

The Senate on Thursday officially nominated Mr. Ndume, from Borno State, as Majority Leader.

It also nominated Bala Ibn Na’alla as deputy leader. Mr. Na’alla, a former House of Representatives member, is from Kebbi state.

The Senate also nominated Francis Alimikhena, from Edo State, as Deputy Chief Whip.

The nominations are subject to approval.

Good

Politics and interest is like rice and beans.

APC underestimated Saraki. He has a political clout that only the politically naive will undermine.

a man who fought his father to a standstill, took over his fathers followers and and made the father call for peace.

He was a governor for 8th years same time with Tinubu, later became a senator, at a time had the plan to run for presidency in 2011. Tinubu certainly knows he wont be able to push Saraki arround or instruct him.

such a man is who APC takes for granted.

APC will split into two because the interests are weigh too many.

what we are seeing now is scene one episode one of twenty four.

Saraki has aligned with some powerful northern elements and thats a safe heaven for him.

for those of you who are naive in politics and say he has committed political suicide. watch how powerful Saraki becomes in coming days, weeks and months.

He has the money, the connections, the power, the intelligence. Only nairalanders and laymen think otherwise.

APC has one option, beg saraki and accept him and his teaming loyalists or expel him from APC which will mean doom for APC.

PDP will be the BiGGEST beneficiary in all these.

PDP have fully taken over!

And this Saraki won't last in APC.

PDP old guard fully in charge, who is clueless now

all hail APC:d opposition party

Cnt jst wait for APC to discipline ds guy

I like this

This call for a hot zungeru laughter hahaha. So Tinubu thinks he has clout and can manipulate just anyone not realizing that the old PDP boys are watching him closely from behind and fully prepared to take him on. He has finally been relegated back to Lagos cum yellow bar kitchen politics
Meanwhile the Dolapo/President Buhari of Daura is watching helplessly from his cow dungeon

Saraki 2-0 Tinubu
Sai... Saraki!!!
Anyi n'anu champagne , ha n'anu panadol.
