Senators of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the All Progressive Congress (APC) has no power to decide who becomes the President of the ninth Senate.

The PDP lawmakers were reacting to the endorsement of Senator Ahmed Lawan by the APC wherein the ruling party picked him as its preferred candidate for the exalted office.

The opposition party lawmakers also advised that the current Senate President, Bukola Saraki, be left out of insinuations in some quarters that the top lawmaker was plotting to influence the emergence of his successor.

Mr Saraki lost his re-election bid to return to the red chamber and will not be part of the ninth Senate.

In a statement signed by Senators Biodun Olujimi and Dino Melaye, the PDP lawmakers said every member of the red chamber can aspire to be the next leader of the upper legislative chamber.

“Let it be known that no matter the mischief being sponsored by these spineless people, Dr Saraki knows that it is the duty of all senators in the ninth Senate to elect their Senate President and other leaders,” the statement read.

“Nobody from outside the Senate has such powers. It is also the right of every senator to aspire to that position as stated by the constitution.

“He has benefited from this practice of senators within the chambers exercising the right. He is conscious of this fact and will not be a party to any plan to seize or interfere with the process of evolving the leadership of the ninth Senate.

“We, therefore, urge the APC gladiators and their handlers to leave Saraki out of their schemes and manipulations.

“They should go and concentrate on how to convince the senators-elect and ensure that the election of the next Senate President takes place in a conducive atmosphere with a view to strengthening the institution and making it perform its constitutional roles, without any hindrance,” the PDP caucus said.

Nigeria is just something else


The judiciary
The executive
The legislative

These bodies are supposed to be independent and enemies for a nation to progress, for easy actualization of goal and realization of dreams

But what we see in Nigeria is different
The judiciary, executive and legislative are romancing each other

Na them them
Nothing concern me

What manner of party is this sef, haba!!

CLOSE THE DOOR, THE SENTENCE ALONE IS A SIN����

d next senate is from pdp

Anybody can say what they like.

But PDP had power as the majority for 16 years to decide Senate President. Let PDP continue to whine. What will be, will be

They are the majority if they put their house together they will decide the next senate president..

Up APC

Nigeria has 109 senate seats.

INEC has declared 100 senatorial election results so far.

Out of the 100 declared, APC - 62, PDP - 37 and YPP - 1.


Assuming the remaining 9 undeclared seats are won by APC, it will bring their total to 71 which is just a little below a 2/3 majority.

Summary: APC, PDP and YPP should work together as they need each other. APC will produce the SP as the majority party but they can't do it alone.

That's where the problem lies.There are not united

The 2015 and the ongoing intra-party power tussle in the APC is about to negatively affect the party again because of lack of unity.Meanwhile Adam Oshiomole's
toutish and king-shit emperor leadership style is another factor

Kpomo boys party.... Just imagine the embarrassment APC is putting Nigerian... Nawa o.... Why don't they do their meeting without media and then we see results... Why endorsing candidates openly ah ah which kind party be this self....

Still watching in 3D

PDP senators would be the decider of who becomes the next SP

Rubbish

Dino wants to be popular in the ninth senate assembly.

No one is wooing any opposition for anything. No PDP senator is having any juicy office

I said so from Bourdillon .

Argue with the nearest bottled water.

Pdp are biting more their can chew,Masters in irregularities and corruption.that is why saraki play with the progress of this country for more than three and half years with nothing to show for his selfishness and backbiting attitude.

You are all mad.

APC can't achieve much with rascality and noise making, pdp has been in this game since 20 years counting . Apc lost key positions at 8 assembly because they lack direction.
APC is just a photocopy, if buhari is gone today no more Apc,

Yeah! The Senate is an Independent Arm of Government.
There should be no external influence.
Loopholes = Corruption
The Senate losing its Authority to Party Influence means bigger Loopholes and that equals to "deeper Corruption".

Let Nigerians be Reasonable.
