blazer2018:
And d power tussle continues...If Saraki knws what's good for him, he should just make sure he succeeds in pacifying more APC Senators to decamp, failure to do so means will lead to his ouster as Senator President..

For those whom PDP are deceiving to think APC Senators needs to form 2/3 to impeach Bukola Saraki and Dogara...2/3 didn't elect him to become Senate President; he became a Senate President with 57 votes (as 51 that supported Lawan where not even at meeting where Saraki was elected) and can be impeached with 55 votes (simple majority)... Saraki and Dogara knows they are walking on a ledge after their failed attempt to garner more defectors-main reason why they went on a lengthy recess

My question is, will Saraki remain in APC until after d deadline of Primaries, which also coincides with Senate plenary resumption?

Easily, the FG can sway more Senators to reach d 55 needed to impeach Saraki...Don't let us even talk about Dogara; his case is worse.

One thing is for sure, APC won't be able to satisfy the Senators that stayed behind...neither will PDP be able to, but PDP's condition is even worse- accommodating old and new members for just one ticket will be an uphill task.

I am watching with my popcorn...

House of Cards

senatordave1:

The power of the political class is waning.they were neither for gej or buhari.most governors are supporting buhari,he still has more spread,finance,structure and strategy than pdp.buhari is not as naive as gej.his lieutenants are smarter than those of gej and ruthless.who in pdp has the political class of tinubu?

Shukuakukobambi:
There are 2 PDP govs i've suspected, since 2015, of being too cozy with buhari. Dave Umahi of Ebonyi and Ben Ayade of cross rivers. Until the elections come, i doubt anybody can tell where their true loyalty lie.

I've also not heard from Akpabio since the defection season started. what's up with him? He's been too quiet when he should be fist pumping with his men.

MrJanuzaj:


Oga i have told you guys to stop dignifying Ipob criminals with diplomatic responses. Most of them have not crossed Niger bridge their entire life. Even if saraki wins kwara it can never be more than 100k difference. Nassarawa will fall for PMB this time together with FCT. Niger is a landslide for PMB. Akume will deliver the majority of TIv votes for PMB.

senatordave1:

We know,that was when pdp had strong structures in the west and goodluck was a fellow southerner with a large following.he had won there before.but this time its against fellow northetners worse than buhari,less popular and with no structure in the west

Patrioticooduan:

Lols! The guy said SW gave Buhari 500 thousand votes.
Those guys don't know sh.it.
I don't think anybody can defeat Buhari. Even Atiku might lose his state.

senatordave1:

Rants of someone that has never left the east.you are right,fanatical yoruba muslims will vote for buhari but moderate muslims and christians will not vote for pdp either,they will stay at home for lack of choice giving buhari the west.

rusher14:


You were not well brought up.

rusher14:
Adeleke has already lost the election.

Iamgrey5:
Where did you get your statistics from ma

With one senator in prison and two vacant positions in APC strong hold.

Non APC senators are 53

Don't forget that Monsurat of ADC is leaning APC and only defected to ADC because of local politics as she clearly stated on her Facebook page.

Do your mathematics sir

mfm04622:


The APC has the number to remove them. That is the difference this time

infohenry:
Stop saying what you don't know, the leader of the house must come from the party with majority, read about things before making fool of yourself, do you think Saraki and Dogara are fools or happy staying in APC but the number is not in their favour.

checkolatunji:


My friend majority represents the house, it's as simple as that.

hannysur8:
This Dino is fooling his family, then he think he is fooling Nigerian, if things continue like this in our country, if we keep having someone like Dino Melaye in our Senate, it means hope is lost for our Nation

Nogodye:
They won't step down until they have cause alot of mayhem in the camp of ruling party...Awon oloriburuku.

Most of this senators will regret their actions after 2019 election, especially lawmakers from the north.

PassingShot:

You go cry blood in 2019.

I will troll you to the extent you will deactivate your account. Ask Barcanista.

PassingShot:

Take Kano, Niger and Kogi from your calculation. Plateau, Taraba, Benue and even Kwara will be ruthlessly contested in 2019.

Firm APC states are far more than firm PDP states and so it shall remain till 2019.

Addme:
Benue Assembly is still one assembly I don't understand their politics.Before now,APC was in minority and they produced the speaker.After gale of defections that rocked APC members in the house,PDP now have a very strong majority i.e. 22 members out of 30.These 22 members impeached the former speaker..
Why on earth would they still make APC member their speaker is devoid of reasoning

PassingShot:
Benue, Kwara and Sokoto states May eventually be lost to PDP. That will leave APC in firm control of 22 states which is more than enough to bury PDP in 2019. Majority of the politicians defecting now won in 2015 primarily because of Buhari Tsunami and are already on their way to lose their seat having lost out in the battle to control their state's party structure without success.

Wait till PDP convention/primaries to see implosion to realize that this is just a child's play.

PMB is in a stronger position now than in 2015 when he had many odds against him.

The battle just starting.

OsuEbonyi:
From GEJ till 2019 to Biafra or nothing and now PDP 2019.
I'm so ashamed of my people

Mynd44:
Channels is wrong. This was posted before the actually numbers came out.

If you notice, it didn't reflect the positions of Senator Kashamu and Lanre Tejuoso who for now don't have parties.

Also it didn't reflect the position of Senators Nyako and Monsurat who decamped two ADC

ChidiAlaigbo:


Keep making empty noise all over the Internet, like say your 5% vote fit do anything.
