As long as I would prefer Oshio Baba over any of the contenders ,however,a first timer can never be a Senate president under this 4th republic.

The list of those people you mentioned was as a result of all of them were first timers,or there was no standing rule excluding first timers .

But under this 4th Republic, a first timer can never be a Senate president . Why can't people respect rules in established institutions,must APC always destroy rules to favour someone? May a Tinubu never happen to our democracy again. This guys are so lawless

If Oshiomhole becomes Senate President, then Nigerians should get ready for a Dictatorial and rubber stamp SP.

AMI3:


U are confused

Okealaaye:


Wetin be dis nonsense dis one de yarn? E like say you no get tissue for inside your head.

casualobserver:


very crafty but disingenuous comment. All the scenarios you mentioned occurred in new democratic dispensations where there were no ranking members so all senators were equal....anyone who emerged SP was by default a new member because all members were new, no senator outranked another. In all the scenarios you listed, a 1st timer had to emerge SP because there were NO ranking members, the only occasion where there were ranking members (oct-dec83) a ranking member was re-elected (Wayas). Feel free to disprove or present a scenario where ranking members existed and a newbie emerged SP.

I have no problem with Oshiomole as SP but he is a new senator and ranking rules must be respected.

Before each election, the Senate is dissolved…the new Senate can either adopt the old rules or amend them as they see fit using the new majority vote in the Senate.

If the new Senate majority is PDP or APC, you don’t expect them to rubber stamp a rule put in place by the previous opposition who were majority at that time….that is not how democracy works.

The only thing that survives each Senate session is the Constitution, if it aren’t in the Constitution it is just a gentleman agreement be it ranking, zoning, etc…a new majority can use their newly given powers by the voters to trash all previous rules and zoning agreements unless the old club that put it in place can still muster a majority vote to sustain it!

The same clowns shouting ''mozlem-mozlem", check their 5 states hamlets: from governor to deputy governor to speaker to deputy speaker to Chief whip etc, there's not a single Muslim there and it's fine to them but will be shedding crocodile tears when it pertains to others.

casualobserver:


Nigerian law also allows me to marry as many wives as I wish but I only have 1 because that is the convention. I don’t get your point or it’s relevance. This is not one party taking over from another and conventions are conventions put in place by senators not parties. They themselves es will tell you their rules are not partisan.
