Saraki May Declare Akpabio, Other PDP Defectors’ Seats Vacant by sarrki(m): 2:32am On Aug 12, 2018
The nation may witness yet another showdown in the Senate as the senators cut short their vacation to discuss President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 polls budget request.

Apart from the fact that constant fierce arguments between members of the All Progressives Congress and the opposition Peoples Democratic Congress will be a regular occurrence, SUNDAY PUNCH investigations have revealed that a major step to send some senators back home would cause a major uproar in the red chamber.


A source, who is very close to the leadership of the Senate, confided in one of our correspondents on Friday that arrangements were being perfected to ensure that the former senate minority leader, Godswill Akpabio, and others who defected recently from the PDP to the APC and other parties recently face a recall process.

The source hinted that the move against the defectors started just before the Senate went on recess, with the refusal of the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, to read the letter of defection submitted to him by Akpabio.


No fewer than four senators have dumped the PDP but their defections have not been declared on the floor of the Senate. While three of them left the PDP for the APC, one of them left for the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

For instance, senators Hope Uzodinma (Imo State) and Fatimah Raji-Rasaki (Ekiti State), formerly of the PDP, have been attending APC meetings and events within and outside the

I don't believe this news.

Saraki is many things. But being dumb is not among them. He stands to gain nothing politically if he goes through this dark tunnel.

Doing this, is tantamount to committing a political seppuku.

I don't believe this news because if it is true then it would mean that Saraki and his party are really pushing their luck and that would be his dumbest move yet. It is already bad enough that he and his deputy (who are both from a minority party) are ruling over the majority party, a development that will logically be difficult to sustain except the APC just decides to let it slide.

Now he wants to declare defecting PDP Senators' seats vacant?? How is their action any different from his and the others that did the exact same thing? This had better be fake news because e no make sense.

Is there division in the PDP? No. Then their seats should be declared vacant.

Unlike R-APC headed by Buba Galaduma and APC headed by Oshiomhole, the PDP does not have a faction. It is one united body under the able leadership of Prince Uche Secundus alias TOTAL CHAIRMAN.

Now, the only condition allowed by our constitution to warrant defection is when a party is fictionalised.

SUMMARY: Saraki is right to declare their seats vacant

LOL.

Court will rule that there's no division in APC at the national level. The R-APC jokers attended the APC national convention and voted, unlike the N-PDP that walked out of PDPs convention back then.

“It is rather surprising that Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is behaving like a rain-beaten chicken, crying all over the place about Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, as if the Senate President is the apparition haunting his life and the sinking ship that he captains
He brimmed with hate, hurled abuses, threw tantrums, told lies, huffed, puffed. In the end, he said nothing.
"If the only thing left of the APC change agenda is to change the Senate President we can only wish them goodluck."

Saraki does not play NASS politics that involves recalls and local constituencies of collegues, he is smarter than that..

Logically be difficult to sustain? So what do you suggest APC should do since they don't the constitutionally reqiured number to remove Saraki?

The constitution clearly states that defections by lawmakers can only be allowed if there is a faction in the lawmaker's party.
In the case of defectors from APC to PDP there is a faction called R-apc which even has its own Chairman.
For PDP currently, there is no faction at any level.

The same Constitution also spells out how a faction can be formed.By law,there is no faction in APC,as those parading themselves as R-APC neither bought forms nor participated in the APC convention as candidates.I personally,dont believe this news.

Zombie ha been programmed not to use their brain again but believe everything without thinking.

I don't comment on post were foolishness and ignorance is written everywhere but if I don't zombie will continue to wallow in darkness.

In the Senate there is Minority Leader and Majority Leader which comes from the Majority Party and Minority Party (Lawan and Akpabio)

Now that Akpabio defect, do you expect him to still be heading PDP, attend their meeting, plan with them while being an APC member?

Can you appoint a Rival Party to be your voice in the house?

My hands itching now self.... If this does not educate you and your likes then keep being in the dark.

Note: the media only need the views and clicks to make money stop promoting nonsense.

Lol. People overestimate themselves and their capabilities to strategize mistaking tactical victories for strategic glory.

Saraki, you have won a battle, but one battle doesn’t make a war. You will create a massive supreme court backed process that will declare your own seat vacant. GBAM! Your rise to relevance becomes very irrelevant real quick.
