The president indicated that the total sum of N228 billion should be deducted from the N578 billion projects introduced into the budget by the National Assembly, which the presidency claimed were inserted into the 2018 budget by the National Assembly.

The president has put these scavengers called senators in a very tight corner. So the padded bugdet is returned to them for reversion. They saw it coming that looting reserve is been channeled into the Nigerian's benefit. Their jackpot is been broken and the largesse kept from the people is been returned to the people they stole it from. That is a masterstroke from Buhari. He is drowning them in theiw own greed. So they saw it coming and quickly went on recess...

Those who berated President Buhari for signing the 2018 budget after acknowledging that some constituency projects were illegally infused should see this. It is not politics all at all. It wad all about money and financial matters. Now the chunk the legislooters keep hope on for their own election is been hijacked from them.

They better reconvene the House or majority of the house will forcefully sack both Saraki and Dogara for negligence of National issue. Election and Security matters are on their desk and the only thing they could think of is recess. They all should better seat in the plenary or they got sacked. We can talk about the legality afterward.

No drainage nah

A big kudos to the government of the people if truth

Ugosample:
can you hear yourself?


Let us assume that saraki is pushed out (mission impossible)

before the apc can conduct another election, the case will land in court, and there will be a stay of execution which means Nigeria will have no SP for that period


DSP will have to fill in the shoes

Its a stupid idea to try such thing, and the APC knows

Legislature is not Executive where the deputy takes the mantle after the demise of his principal. When Saraki goes, Ekweremadu follows. Chikena

igwefivestar:
so what has progress since then?

Ejections of moles. Social development, infrastructure growth, economy balance and restoration of security

Nathdoug:
what about
maina, ameachi, burutai, oshomole etc

Who says court won't hear your case if you charge them?

billgatexp:
Let me explain the strategy.
Kalus case.. Election is approaching, they bring up the case, he runs to buhari, he tells him to bring some money for elections, he agrees, and the judge forgets the case.

Akpabios case.. Bring some money for APC, magu it's wait. Magu waits. Money is used for election... Akpabio is a saint

Your argument doesn't make sense.

Kalu case is still ongoing. He lost some appeal recently. And he has not been acquitted. So argue with yourself

yinnyme:
Who says only paper qualification should be the only requirements? Your Mugabe is a good example of paper education.

Now tell me if Nigeria is your Company will you employ a school cert to run it because he is humble, honest etc?

In spite of the nonsense they are saying about our educational standarda we still ply some of the best brains around the world.

Imagine someone like Agbakogba, Pat Utomi, Fela Durotoye, Onigbinde as Sport Minister, even this guy Ben Bruce at the helm of affairs, politics apart they will perform.

Each time I read the book, voice of reason, a collections of Awololo's speeches, I understood the importance of good education, Aminu Kano, Azikwe, Tafawa Balewa were good examples of a few good men with good education. A good man with the right form of education will achieve much. So please don't downplay the important of education in governance.

Bill Gate has a school cert. Zukerberg is a drop out. They run a good business. Again school certification does not determine how to run business successfully or lead a nation.

Eagle75:
More like having PDP senators alone impeaching PMB and the aftermath taken to court...it does really work that way jare.

How was Saraki elected in the first place? Were the APC members in the plenary?

Saraki should be impeached for negligence of duty if he does not reconvene the senate. The election is six months away and fund has not been approved by the Senate. Let us forget about 2/3 of the house. He got voted without 2/3 of the full house and should not be suprised if the APC senate members alone impeach him. The aftermath will be taken to court

tiredoflife:
Guy if u want to call anyone blessed please remove awolowo

Say Pa awolowo of cursed memory abeg

Your father Ojukwu is cursed

AroleOduduwa:
Which of my post suggested that am in support of political prostitute, I don’t support people without ideology. All am saying is that you can’t ask a sitting governor to resign, he has to he mandate, they should explore legal means and stop making noise. Mind you, there will be more decamping from PDP to APC and Vice versa

But yoi can advocate for resignation of Deputies?

Mynd44:
2/3 of the total nunber of senators (109)

I will need to read more on this particular law.

We've seen cases of 2/3 rep members sitting in the plenary impeaching Governors.

We've seen cases of 2/3 senate member sitting electing their president.

2/3 of those present in the plenary impeaching the SP shouldn't be a prob. They can argue the legality in court afterward.

Olorun APC senate Leader is too dull for my liken.

AroleOduduwa:
When Inec want to announce the winner, they make announcement by saying APC or PDP has won the election right? The posters/ billboards you see around has only PDP and APC on it without the name and picture of the candidate? My friend move to one corner and stop wasting my time.

Poster can have any name printed on it. It is not INEC material and not guided by law. So much soms even put their unofficial name like Nicknames. It doesn't have any meaning.

INEC declare results by mentioning name of the candidate and the party they belong to. We've had cases of where candidates have almost same name. The returning officer will name and THE NAME OF THE PARTY the candidate belong to. This is why we have Party Agents on board and not candidate agent to monitor the process.

And for your dishonesty, ballot paper has the name and logo of the Party. It does not include the name of the candidate. This inevitably means the mandate belongs to the party and not the candidate.

You were calling some people hypocrites but your own hypocrisy is rare to find. Only a hypocrite will support the resignation of deputies but would want the governor to retain his office after defection.

Mynd44:
The Constitution is the constitution.

You need 2/3 to imprison and that's that.


As for INEC's funding, wahala dey oo

2/3 of what? Senate on seat in the plenary or of the full house?

I repeat, with the election fund not approved yet, he will be impeached by 2/3 of senators who are present in the plenary. It is negligence of duty. The fallout will be settled in the court.

Kingosytex:
which corruption is bullhari fighting? bullhari is only witch-hunting his opponents and as soon as u decamp to APC, the matter is settled. what a biased means of fighting corrupt. bubu claims to be fighting corruption yet his cabinet members have unresolved cases of LOOTING & CERTIFICATE FORGERY. oshomole kindly tell bullharI to forget about the dividends of democracy in the south-east. tell him to use the funds to tar the roads to daura for his easy accessibility because he must go back to daura in 2019.

Always looking for reasons to wail

Mynd44:
I totally disagree with Lai Muhammed on this "What Saraki did, according to Lai Mohammed, was to put the APC leadership and the government in a difficult corner by ensuring that any attempt to impeach him would be tantamount to making an opposition senator in person of Ekweremadu the Senate president."

impeaching Senator Saraki does not make Senator Ekweremadu Senate President. When the senate president is impeached another one is voted in. The deputy can't ascend the seat like it is done in the executive

Just my view

Saraki should be impeached for negligence of duty if he does not reconvene the senate. The election is six months away and the senate has not approve the fund yet. Failure to approve the fund mean election won't hold which is a threat to our democracy. Let us forget about 2/3 of the house. He got voted without 2/3 of the full house and should not be suprised if the APC senate members alone impeach him. The aftermath will be taken to court

vanbonattel:
All I know is that APC is losing cone 2019. The lies 1000 lies mohamed cannot save them as the people gas come to see them as oppressors of the masses.

In your dream. APC has been winning all states except in Anambra where thry came second and PDP got third. Election is not won by mere wishful thinking

Saraki should be impeached for negligence of duty if he does not reconvene the senate. Let us forget about 2/3 of the house. He got voted without 2/3 of the full house and should not be suprised if the APC senate members alone impeach him. The aftermath will be taken to court

AroleOduduwa:
Don’t waste my time. To answer your question, the name of the candidate, the party name and this logo, but that doesn’t change the fact that the mandate belongs to him, please stop arguing blindly.

Are you a Nigerian? On which Ballot did you find Candidates name?

You guys just be dishonest with yourself. After the primary election, cabdidates are given the party flag which mean representing of thr platform they held the flag. The party flag is given to candidate by the Party leader. And the only symbol of this is that this particular candidate is representing a party.

On the Ballot, the only thing you are going to find is Party name and logo. It does not have candidate name on it. I wonder if you have ever voted in any election in Nigeria.

The electorate voted for the party and not any candidate. If you can advocate for the resignation of Deputies for decamping, the same logic should apply for a Governor who got the people mandate by belonging to a platform.

Metuh:
Kalu's has been swept under the carpet already.

What happened to prosecuting Maina, Babachiar lawal and the rest thieves


Akwa Ibom is PDP, DEAL WITH IT. Leave your house in Oshogbo and see things in a different way bros

Kalu case is in court. You can argue with yourself.

AroleOduduwa:
You argument is invalid, Hafiz Abubakar resigned because he has a boss and if he hadn’t done so, the state assembly would have impeached him. Tambuwal scenario is different, he’s the boss in his state, he has the mandate and not his party.

Did the electorate voted for Tambuwal or APC? Whose name is on the Ballot?

If he thinks he can win alone, he shouldn't have joined any platform you know.

SawOnPedia:
I dont understand if yall APC really need Saraki why have you been disgracing and embarrassing him?
If y'all have always hated him why make him a Senate president just so you can remove him later?
You cant give the key to your house to a man you dont trust.

It is legal for NASS to be on a break right now, school is on vacation. Yall must have seen the break coming and should have pushed for all these emergency matters to be concluded before the break but instead yall acting 24 instead of leading a country.

One day all of una go just die ones.

1. He has worked many timed against the party. Padding budget and wasting approval time. Harassing President Appointees and been at loggerhead with the executive.

2. The Party didn't make him the Senate President. He convened with opposition and stole the mandate.

3. Yes. It is legal to be on break but not when they have a responsibility they have to deal with. The president sent them Election budget and it was not looked into. And I ask, whay is there duty if they can't approve fund for election that is six month away?

4. Legislature is not a school where you can have break after an academic year. Even the president has to hand over to his vice before embarking on vacation. If they can't do their jobs and think they can go to recess as they like, they should forfeit their salaries and entitlement for not doing their job.

5. Saraki should be impeached for negligence of duty if he does not reconvene the senate. Let us forget about 2/3 of the house. He got voted without 2/3 of the full house and should not be suprised if the APC senate members alone impeach him. The aftermath will be taken to court

mistyMen:
PDP now has majority in the Senate.APC plan to Saraki is DOA

Majority my foot

AroleOduduwa:
People won’t fail to amaze me. I don’t know if they are hypocrites or dunce, how can you ask a sitting governor to resign because he defected from one party to the other, why not write the state assembly or wait till the next election? APC are not handling the defection lightly, they are pained and wounded that they are celebrating Akpabio defection as if Donald trump has just decamped from republican to APC

The people you called 'dunce' actually voted for him. They did this after he joined a platform they trusted. So he won gubernatorial election with support from this platform and thinks he has to leave because he has ambition to become President. What has really changed that made him return to another platform? Shouldn't the people that voted him ask questions? The voters thumbprinted APC on the ballot paper, not Tambulwa right? So if he doesn't trust the party again, he should drop their mandate. It is as simple as that.

Deputy Governor in many states have resigned before Joining another party contrary to what their principal belongs to. We saw it play out in Kano State recently. Now explain why a State Governor who was trusted with a mandate because he belong ti a party would not resign before joining another party. As the case maybe, my argument is that electorates voted for party not candidates.

thesicilian:
Technically a Governor doesn't have to resign because he defected from his party to another. He was elected by the people of the state, not his party members alone.

The party name is on the ballot paper, not aspirant name

dukie25:
And the N800bill allegation the EFCC were probing would now die a natural death.

Wherr did you read in the post that the probing had stopped?

Lagosfinder:
Akpabio is now a Saint

This Is Nigeria

Last time I check, Kalu is a member of APC and his corruption case is in the Court. Two prominent members of the APC were to the prison for corruption cases hanging on their neck. APC didn't overlook their crime because they were in their camp. So your submission is wrong.

Akpabio will join APC but his crime will not be exonerated. He is an Asset and will be welcomed. You should rather sit up on how to win Akwa Ibom in the next gubernatorial election

Cajal:
..nothing dey his brain other than dancing and singing procedure
He should be featuring Dino melaye...and fayose

PDP is joke and does not seem ready for the election. From the look of things, they are on two fronts. Fronting challenge from Isiaka of APC and Omisore of SDP. The other major aspirants have better chances to becomes a Governor in Osun state than Adeleke junk that they are presenting. So they know all these and presented him just to count their lose

yinnyme:
The day I discovered the qualifications to be a president of my country was when I knew those who wrote it were not patriotic, I knew my country cannot fly but crawl.

Qualification of Leader is not necessarily education. Mugabe has the best form of Education in the world, got more degree and professional certification but he became a dictator and ran Zimbabwe aground.

Papa Awolowo of blessed memory saw it all. Ages ago!

" For the progressive to be in power they need the support and collaborations of some conservative. After attaining power the conservative would, on their own, walk away. The progressive would now build a great party that would move the nation forward.."~ Chief Obafemi Awolowo

The GEJ he gave us threw Nigeria into abyss of corruption. So Baba Ota, thanks for the greek gift. We are taking our oil well away from you, TY Danjuma, IBB and other military past leaders.
