This amounts to a subtle coup.

diezani:


point of order, I'm not Igbo.
if indeed it was preplanned, then it wasn't planned well

since we do not have the full story, I wouldn't want to jump into further hasty conclusions. if abaribe an Igboman tries to get Osinbajo impeached, there's no big deal, the saraki for instance is a Muslim and has northern alliances since many would argue that he's not a northerner, and he'd quash all forms of agitation from the east. that's why I didn't talk about abaribe, because he'll be the biggest loser, losing support from home as well. so I wasn't absolving him at all.. he's not worth all these talk

Leadership in Nigeria is like when you pour beans in water. Those that float up are the bad ones.

How can Senators talk as if they lack analytic, deductive and commonsensical reasoning? So, if a Governor travels out on an official assignment to attract investors, he's no longer the Governor?

The Senate should get their acts together and stop talking like a congregation of unintelligent drunkards.

belzabull:
yes I can imagine that.

He will make a better president than the dead wood called buhari

Tinubu the Theif has led his ethnic group to the slaughter house and you are busy yapping nonsense

deomelo:



His people are in the slaughter house, but you losers are the one crying and shouting marginalization. Logic and intelligent reasoning no dey jam you Igbos.

diezani:
Unusual loyalty by saraki... well played. now osinbajo, owes him a favour. in the game of life, it is very bad to owe someone a favour cos you'll keep praying he doesn't ask for the impossible.
meanwhile the zfara senator is just a religious fanatic who doesn't know how to play chess

TimeMod1:
Very well said but if you want me to take you seriously then you would do away with the person on that DP & replace it with a better one.

diezani:


Diezani Allison Madueke is an Ijaw woman married to an Igbo man. She's smarter, better educated, and achieved more than most Nigerian women. Aside the political stuff she's very very very intelligent unlike members of our current cabinet.

I thought you said you didn't want to jump into hasty conclusions, so from where do you pull this out?? Osinbajo owes nobody a favour.

Jasomine:
Trust Saraki, the guru of Nigeria politics. The Kwara lord will not fall for that. Like a cobra, he knows when to strike.

TimeMod1:
What are you saying?..
I never asked you furnish me her bio rather I asked that you disengage from her demeaning personality. At best, she's lost her personality. If you're Diezani, it's quite unfortunate of you. Your truest feelings of shame and guilt would come in retrospection if only you're not an iceberg. While I truly hope you are not her, be advised to totally disengage from her damning any pecuniary gain that are attached. Your integrity should matter to you.

deomelo:



Acting President Osinbajo doesn't owe him anything, Saraki was just doing his job based on the same constitution guiding his own job, not any kind of favor.

Saraki can not become the acting president unless the acting president legally or constitutionally surrendered power to him based on his inability to govern for health or personal reasons just like PMB did when he ceded over to his VP.

The zanfara joker is just another ignorant and illiterate clown, but Saraki is not, hence his decision not to even entertain such foolishness.

Good morning Nigeria!

diezani:


I doubt you read the article. the dispute was on whether Senate had the right to reject nominations and osinbajo disregarding their rejection. the Igbo senator said that none of the presidents are in the country currently, probably hinting at an opportunity for the Senate to declare saraki as acting president and effect magu and gbajamiala's rejection by himself. saraki knows that as soon as osinbajo returns power would naturally fall back to the VP. but doing something like that would cause unrest because people would cite how long it took for osinbajo to become acting president and the ease with which saraki became acting president. people would talk about northern agenda etc so saraki lets it slide
note that no one is talking about impeachment.
but the zamfara senator comes in , armed with the constitution, he obviously has rehearsed this and has been waiting for an opportunity. his intentions are religio-ethnic, and sees it as an opportunity to get osinbajo out.
he represents the interest of his constituency and the coincidence is odd that a senator from zamfara is so versed on the Senate provisions for declaring acting president, Nigerian senators are not known for brilliance in things like this. he has been planning this for a while.
but he's too quick, now he's a known party traitor.
p saraki doesn't even allow debate on it, he quickly rules it out of order. it would have been a good opportunity for senate to have executive powers but saraki knows it is extremely dangerous, would set a bad precedent and would make him a few more enemies.
thats politics for you. the other angle could be that it could be a grand plot to fool the executive into believing that saraki is loyal, but the unity needed for such a plot is lacking in the Senate.

right now , osinbajo owes saraki.. and u should read the story again

diezani:


saraki's smartness greatly surpasses his goodwill. though constitutionally there are provisions that could have been exploited like the Zamfara joker was trying to point out. I agree with you that he's ignorant and a clown and you should agree with me that someday in the perfect season saraki will strike

deomelo:



Strike where and how? Please brief us a little.


Saraki can not be the president or acting president without the current acting president handing over power to him by transmitting to the senate per his absence and inability to continue as the president or the acting president of Nigeria and until that is done, saraki can not be anything beyond his current position.


In this case, saraki did nothing and he did the acting president no favor and the acting president owe him nothing, all he did was prevent the ignorant and constitutionally void senator from zamfara from embarrassing himself and the senate including saraki himself.


The acting president's position or authority was never in danger and the law and the Nigerian constitution remains on the side of the acting president, not on saraki's side or his ignorant foot soldier so no favors was done.
