SenseiX:
83 out of 109 Senators passed a vote of confidence and only one Tinubu acolyte demurred and The Nation says there was an uproar. I understand Tinubu pays their bills but they could at least try not to appear so blatantly partisan.
I'm no fan of Saraki but this desperate attempt at scapegoating him only serves to raise his profile and diminish that of his opponents.
This is a battle Tinubu can't win, the longer he fights on, the likelier he is demystified.

Rotimi47:
Many people keep getting it wrong, I initially thought it was Tinubu but went through a right up that explained everything; senator Lawan who won the APC primary is President Buhari's candidate not Tinubu's that's why Tinubu back tracked on Akume being senate President while saraki choose to play politricks to go against the party/President preference.

Tinubu is only following the party line because saraki behaviour to become senate President by all means do not mean well for the party.

Do you know WHY Tinubu did not follow his ACN party line for his south west votes to Ribadu in 2011

...runs to get a rope to tie you with saraki!

You must be part of those uneducated protesters

lilbazy:
Click like if you think Olubokola saraki is a goner....Click share if you think he is not going anywhere

maestroferddi:
Shameless media hacks doing yeoman job for Tinubu.

So after all the propaganda and lies about Saraki, only one APC senator objected to the vote of confidence?

I can't stand dolts and dumb people...

admax:
The best vote of confidence on Saraki should come from Buhari or Tinubu if not, Saraki battles just began.

All of them are not saints so, may the strong emerge victorious in this power play. Season film continues.

easyfem:
Only GOD can help us, how can ordinary Nigeria support a thief.... We need a revolution I swear

neocortex:


You know he is serious right ?
contrary to your believe , the protesters are educated,
they aint just hypocrites.

Abeyjide:
this is funy,some of d senators asked dem to remove their names from that 84.der is no vote of confidence with mouth,unlike before u see d signatures of dose senators in support or againt.saraki deceiving himself.

Saraki has been spending alot and d senators supporting him wants d spending to coninue.the love his money but not saraki himself.

sweatlana:



My dear ur poll is useless. The folks on NAIRALAND can't do jack! The number 83 senators speaks for itself self

laplace12:

They were 80, now they are 83

kahal29:
There was uproar in the senate on Tuesday over vote of confidence on Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

Senators in near fisticuffs.

83 senators passed vote of confidence in Saraki.

Senator Babajide Omoworare whose name was included as supporter dissociated himself from the motion.

Really! hypocrites you say?
If they really want Nigeria to develop, then they would av wanted
justice to serve than take to the street. I mean, which busy and occupied man
does that!

unite4real:
Imagine the law makers we are hoping on, to make laws for stiffer punishments for corruption are now the ones supporting a looter. we are in serious wahala

neocortex:


You and I know that busy people don't attend protests whether for good or bad
anywhere in the world.
Focus on the message not the messengers.

efilefun:
pass vote of confidence on him or not doesn't stop the court case against him, previous senate presidents vacated their seats while facing the law but he wants to prove stubborn, really cant wait to see the end of the drama.
