Saraki Loses Membership Of The Senate by Ovamboland(m): 6:55am On Aug 03, 2018
68. (1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member if -

(g) being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected;

Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored


If he's no longer a member of the Senate he can't be senate president. The majority party should find a way to trigger this provision and let Saraki go to court to prove there was a real division in APC

Saraki is going nowhere. He's likely the next Senate President.

I have never seen where lawmakers are so openly defiant of a President and show unwavering loyalty to the Senate President.

Right now, i can bet plenty of APC lawmakers are really PDP in disguise.

My predictions : Buhari would be re-elected, but Senate and House of Reps would be fully PDP. PMB would really hate his 2nd term

If PDP failed to pursue their rights in 2014, that's their problem, no precedent can annul a constitutional provision

when the former speaker of the house of senate defected from PDP to APC some of us called for his resignation but the APC zombies supported him and even professor Sagay wrote an espitle then claiming it was legal for Tambuwa to defect..So what has changed now? Why are they asking Saraki to resign?

This will not kill anybody, whether Saraki remains president till next year or leaves now, Nigeria still remains.
Just share your opinion in light of the quoted constitutional provision.

I think it will be good for our democracy to let the court pronounce if any member or members of a political party can unilaterally declare a division in a party. Can that be the intent of section 68g?

Of course,in the case of PDP,the courts did....
They pronounced the authentic leadership.....
But by then,the deed had been done,
Adjournments after adjournments,and it was close to the elections,by then those that wanted to move had moved,the rest remaining did the dangerous inside job....

In this case,I believe one of the parties had taken the case to court,so the matter should be in court,its the same tactics that will be followed......the same people who spearheaded npdp are the same people propagating rAPC.

So for now,they are in line.......nobody loses his/her seat for the sake of defection.....

Don't waste ur remaining data. Nigerian Judiciary doesn't have the balls 2 uphold dat part of the law. Never in the history of defection, has anyone ever vacated his seat 4 defecting. Saraki obviously won't b the first.

Desperation at its peak. I thought they said they are not bothered by Saraki's defection? Bloody hypocrites.
Saraki will remain as Senate President whether APC like it or not.

No, you are wrong... It's not "simply politics", it is the Constitution.
