Bulusc:
Tinubu wants to put the country on fire.

Hedonisst:
When I hear fools say that Buhari can determine who becomes presiding/principal officers in NASS, I just laugh. Stupid people also use Obasanjo as reference as to how he easily installed and uninstalled Senate Presidents during his first tenure.

You have to understand that 'eye never open' in that period. Nigeria's democracy was still 'nascent', and things were only beginning to take shape. You can't try that now. You can't impose a Senate President or Speaker in the name of enforcing "party discipline. It simply wouldn't work. At the appointed date, the legislators would elect whoever plays the game best as Senate President/DSP, Speaker, and Deputy Speaker. There's absolutely nothing the useless Buhari or greedy Tinubu can do about it.

If they try to use gestapo tactics by cordoning off the National Assembly with their useless DSS and police, and allowing only select lawmakers access to go in and elect the anointed candidates, that would be disastrous and would not stand. The pretenders so elected would be summarily impeached, and the NASS would be thrown into crisis.

That wasn't necessary at all.

Even PDP Senators voted the party's/Presidency's candidates through strategic politicking - no need for gra gra.

I hope we are all now wiser

Oshigun:


You Yoruba haters and bigots should continue seeing Tinubu 24/7. As if it is Tinubu that Saraki and Dogara frustrated for more than 3 years to now produce this situation where the APC, especially Buhari, has sworn "never again" .

You SE and SS bigots will never stop shouting Yoruba and Tinubu whereas it is a Northern President (Buhari) now determined to ensure he is not frustrated in his efforts for Nigeria as happened in his first term via the machinations of other Northerners who headed the legislative arm in the last republic (Saraki and Dogara). The APC won the election and have the majority in the upper and lower house.

They have the right to produce the leaders of both Houses , as is done worldwide, who will be independently devoted to what is best for Nigeria yet not enemies of progress to a Presidency they should work productively with for the development of Nigeria.

OP is mad and needs psychiatric help if he thinks Buhari will allow his final term to be a repeat of the first where Saraki and Dogara used the Senate and house of rep to play PDP spoiler to the detriment of Nigeria's development. No wonder Nairalanders are mocking the OP's analysis. Imagine mentioning Dogara to return? Ridiculous and asinine.

Perhaps God should welcome Satan into heaven and make him deputy head of the realm. Nonsense talk and the garbage analysis of born losers. The head of both Houses are done deals set in stone. OP should go and cry into his akamu.

4. PDP Can Stop Ahmad Lawan SP Bid:

With forty three Senators-elect already, PDP need at least thirteen aggrieved APC Senators-elect to defeat Ahmad Lawan, the unpopular anointed of the APC for the Senate President seat. Already aggrieved APC Senators-elect like Uzor Kalu of Abia, Ali Ndume of Borno and Danjuma Goje of Gombe and their supporters have vowed to challenge for the seat in June and with the traditional secret ballot system of voting. I have no doubt that PDP would either produce someone among them as Senate President or endorse one of the aggrieved as PDP adopted candidate. I will see how Lawan will emerge Senate President or whether Adams Oshiomole will be able to rig him in.

QuotaSystem:


I will like to believe the OP has risen above such self-destructive sentimental behaviour.

TonyeBarcanista, what exactly is a "rubber stamp" senate?

One that does not frustrate the President's agenda?
One that does not deliberately delay confirmation of appointments?
One that does not intentionally delay budget passing for selfish partisan gain?

We agreed that as this is PMB's last tenure, therefore he should be allowed the latitude to operate devoid of legislative sabotage, as he must take responsibility for any success or failures this tenure records.

I will go as far as saying that as far as the core North is concerned, as long as Tinubu's choice of senate leadership is in alignment with PMB's choice, then we will support him with twice as much fury as the opposition in ensuring that there is minimal to ZERO legislative sabotage in this coming 9th assembly. No Joke.

QuotaSystem:


I guess you overestimated your party bro.

Parade changed gear since 2015. That mistake could never have been repeated by PMB especially considering the stumbling block Saraki/Ekweremadu were to the Presidency. Well all's well that ends well.

TonyeBarcanista:
Congrats

TonyeBarcanista:

He will lose. The National Assembly is not Lagos state House of Assembly that Bourdillon can dictate to. If Gbajabiamila is so good then make him Governor of Lagos state.

TonyeBarcanista:

It doesn't matter whether the Southeast or Southsouth don't get any presiding office but Femi Gbajabiamila, Ahmed Lawan and other anointed of Bourdillon and Oshiomole WILL NOT get any presiding position. This is not APC primary, this is NASS election

Hedonisst:


You be mumu, and there's nothing I can do to help you. You think you're in a Banana Republic where anything goes. Imagine the stupid example you're giving about CJN?

If dem born you and your master Tinubu or Buhari well, use DSS to block National Assembly that day and use minority to elect principal officers let's see how that pans out. Na body go tell you.

hahahhaha....empty chest beaters...so Dogara and Ekweremadu are now in charge of NASS shey?.....baby political analysts everywere!!

The stupid noise makers were thousands of kilometers away from abuja on the day of the election in the National Assembly
