MizMyColi:
The events of today have been chilling...

Is Buhari really up to the task?
Who in God's green universe is running Nigeria?

At a time when they are supposed to show us unity of purpose there is this kind of division?

This is not good, it's not.

Yes, I'm PDP and quite happy at the turn of events, but I shudder to think of what it would be like to see my own party undergoing this rape by the supposed "minority".

Well, someone captured it when he said, and I quote..

Dorrobucci:
.

It could be Sen. Andy Uba.

Toktee:
i see saraki and many other apc members going on suspension soon for anti party activities.

MizMyColi:
Well Well
@Obiagelli
It's just been confirmed that David Mark is the senate leader.

But he's in the minority....

OrlandoOwoh:
What was read was the notice that the President was supposed to be in the NASS.

iamrealdeji:
That's the trouble we're into,Saraki is a man of the politicians,not a man of the masses,he has no business with the masses except those old women that sing and praise him in his compound here in Ilorin and the men that go there to eat

MizMyColi:
Owh, so a faction of the APC is actually using Sahara Reporters to cry foul eh?

jomoh:
Is that one in the biafran constitution?

Read Nigerian constitution well. This is an extraordinary plenary 2/3 section not and ordinary one where 1/3 is needed. Does the clerk have the constitutional powers to make the proclamation. When we have a sitting president.

MizMyColi:
What about the thread on FP suggesting that there was no legal proclamation of the senate?
That could be a bottleneck.

But I ask..If there was a schedule of events, shouldn't Buhari have been at the venue at the stipulated time?
Awaiting more clarity on this.

Obiagelli:
The "election" took place without the legal proclamation
of the Senate by President Buhari.

This will be interesting

iamrealdeji:
You don't know politics,its a case of if you can't beat them,you join them like Hillary,those that would have opposed Bukola out of the 57 had to support him when they see his supporters and no much opposition party there they had to rest their case because if they try to vote against him,which is not going to change anything,they knew he'd eye them and screw them up after emerging as senate president which they knew he'd be elected with the looks of things,if others were present,some that supported him now would have voted against him

A Senator elect on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party from Anambra State who would not want his name in print disclosed that they capitalized on the APC loopholes to produce Ekweremadu, while noting that with Saraki/Ekweremadu on the saddle, PDP was on the path of resurgence.

Mogidi:
Buhari banned "ogogoro" because of people like you.

Maxymilliano:
Election into Position of Senate President is by majority votes, not quorum, same for Speaker in the lower chamber ...


Quorum only applies to the number of attendees.

ayindejimmy:
How about this...

The "election" took place without the legal
proclamation of the Senate by President Buhari.

A Senate that has not been inaugurated. Is the proclamation by the president merely cosmetic? I believe the APC also know what they're doing by calling the meeting at that time
Time will tell. Saraki is merely acting as a snitch

lolababe331e:
If there was no legal proclamation by Buhari what does that mean? Doesn't the law require that?

deebsman1:
The "election" took place without the legal proclamation of the Senate by President Buhari.
does that have any implication, learned peeps in the house, share your knowledge

yatch360:
Didn't they know the election was on...and isn't there a number of persons that should form a quorum .

drbashfx:
In d usual cloak and dagger nature of politicking,senator bukola saraki was returned unopposed this morning to rule the eight senate .
This came as a shock to observers in light of all d rumours flying around earlier:apc blockd the national assembly complex,apc has postponed the inauguration of the senators,apc has done this,apc has done that .
My party in the end saw the light and had to swallow their pride and I presumed had to order lawan to step down.This was done to whittle down the influence Pdp would have had in this assembly, because for pdp to come out and support saraki ,there must have been a lot of horsetrading as it is in the nature of politicians to do.
By this act,the party(apc) won,political sagacity won,the senators won,knowing fully well they determined their leader without an external factor.
This portends well for our mantra of change,that the party is ready to bend to the popular will of stakeholders even to the detriment of the party's interest .
