Saraki was only in the Senate for himself

Remember that many Projects especially to do with the Railways were held up and FG almost couldn't pay some Salaries because the Saraki Senate held up the Budget
So you are happy with all the massive borrowing that have completely crippled the country, with all the billions of dollars borrowed what is the outcome of the so called railway today?

Buhari, lawan and APC just used Nigeria to enrich themselves while saying poor people.

Sometimes I wonder if some of you even use your brain.

Which constitutional duty? He's the best because he was at loggerhead with the executive arm?Was he elected to fight executive?Despite forwarding Magu's name to him twice,he refused to confirm him and some other executive requests were also turned down. Is that your own definition of constitutional role? Ahmed Lawan senate was more productive than Saraki's,Ahmed Lawan Senate passed Petroleum Industry Bill,Ahmed Lawan's senate passed electoral Act 202? Tell me a landmark Bill that was passed into law by Saraki's 8th Assembly?

Of everybody wey you go use argue your case, na MAGU of all people you choose to use 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He wasn't the best. The issue he had with his then party then,The APC was the one that made him look like a special person sort of.

If he were to be the candidate of his party for the senate president,he wouldn't have given the Buhari administration any problem whatsoever. But because he wasn't. He planned a civilian coup sort of. He was in their black books and they needed to remove him at all cost and he also dealt with them by denying them of critical bills and what have you

However,this appellation of "rubber stamp senate" isn't fair. Sentiments apart. You see even in the US. As the Dems are in control of the Senate. No matter what Biden brings to them,they will sign it. That is why the ruling party always want to control the House and Senate so the Executive won't have any problem passing laws. It is Politics and it happens all around the world.

But talking about the best senate president. I think the best is Anyim Pius Anyim. Dude stabilized the Senate president seat after, Late Evans Ewerem,Late Chuba Okadigbo, Adolphus Warbara were removed back to back.

I'll give it to him. He stabilized the seat till they left government in 2007
To buttress your point sir, if you remember the time the house of assembly wanted to impeach Donald Trump, despite been impeached by the House of reps (Dominated by Democrats), it was the Senate house (Dominated by republicans) that voted against his impeachment without even considering the evidence before them, would we then called them "rubber stamp". So sir you are so on point!!!!

Exactly. Trump was even impeached by the House twice. Yet the Majority of the Senate threw it out.

If the house of representatives impeaches Biden today,The Senate too will throw it out. Just like the GOP impeached Clinton and the Senate too threw it out.

It's politics. And except if it is a very very big crime. They will just over look it. Politics isn't always 2 plus 2. It might just be 22 at times instead of 4. grin

Worse.. Because he & lousy Dino opposed everything good the PMB govt initially planned.
Best.. because it aligned with your own malicious sentiment since the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

Don't give the Glory to Ken Nnamani alone!😏

The Third Term Battle was fought by the Nigerian PRESS, NBA, CIVIL societies, etc. Under a PDP democratic govt! 🙂🙂

If same happened under this Evil, USELESS APC govt, They would have used PROPAGANDA and TRIBAL Shenanigans to get their way!😕😒
Always make sure you're not being controlled by emotion. This is how many of you fail simple questions in exam.
You have gone off the topic already. It's very simple question: 'the best senate president so far', is it saraki or who? I said Nnamani, considering the achievement of the legislature under his leadership. You're saying nonsense.
Am I giving glory to anybody?

Because of the anger, emotion and hatred you have towards apc, you even make certain words to be capital sensitive in order to get our attention.
Shior

Lifestone:

Has the current Governor in Kwara done half of what Saraki did while in government in Kwara?

Not only was Saraki the best Senate President in the democratic history of Nigeria, he was, at the young age of 40, the best and most impactful Governor that Kwara State has ever had till date, and the most innovative and productive Chair of Nigeria Governors Forum, all achieved without unnecessary noise.

Bukola Saraki remains the last man standing and the last Samurai among the all the senate presidents since 1999.
He gave us the understanding of what a functional HOA should look like and not a rubber stamp asslickers that worships the president and his perfunctory ministers
