Even 2/3 Of Sitting In Plenary, APC Can't Muster by PaChukwudi44(m): 6:52am On Aug 11, 2018
The APC majority in the Senate since the 8th Senate has been very thin at best.Even in the midst of defections their margin has not really improved. At the Moment APC has 54 senators (1 in jail),PDP 49,ADC 2,APGA 2.If they win the 2 vacant seats they will now have 56 seats which is a very far cry from the 2/3 majority of 73 required for the whole house.

Prof Sagay a prominent APC politician and constitutional lawyer obviously seeing that the APC will not be able to secure the constitutionally stipulated 2/3 majority of the house has decided to misinterpret the very explicit section 50 chapter 5 of the 1999 constitution to mean 2/3 majority at a plenary sitting.

Even if we were to go by that phoney interpretation. It will still be difficult for the APC to secure 2/3 majority. Let's assume 10 PDP senators did not make it to plenary and we have just 99 senators. The APC will still not be able to muster the 2/3 majority of 66 .If the number of PDP senators absent further increases to 15,The APC still won't have the 2/3 majority of 63 .

My advice to the tout Oshiomhole is to give up and lick your wounds.You have been beaten and have lost this war.Stop making a fool of yourself

What are you watching? I don't even think any PDP senator will be absent. The APC will never be able to impeach Saraki
