Without any bias, I don't think it is an easy task to impersonate the President of Nigeria in such a cheap way with all the SSS and co. Secondly the party leaders can easily reach out to PMB and ask if he scheduled a meeting, perheeps the likes of Tinubu and Co would not just go to a meeting like that. We must also remember that the news was that the VP scheduled the meeting earlier.

My opinion is that the leadership of APC scheduled the meeting when it was obvious they would loose. They tried getting the President or the Vice President but failed due to reasons I don't know, probably because PMB has vowed not to interfere in the National Assembly Issues which Osibanjo Followed too

spenca:
Did the senators make a quorum ?

Yes they did. A quorum is Half of the members of the senate 47

Interesting. Now let a PDP be Deputy speaker

rebranded:
It is very unfortunate that Saraki would put himself first over his party and the Nation!

At this one time where everyone is being selfless and putting aside their personal ambition to move the Nation forward

I hope saraki is happy with his new position at the expense of his party and the new government!

Any Citizen is free to contest any office once he is suitable.

You are the most useless animal have ever seen, you ediots spam this forum daily that APC are devils and Saraki is a thief yet you are rejoicing and supporting same devil. Hypocrites like you are disgusting, and its a shame you will be allowed to transfer your stupidity to your kids. Pathetic.

Better don't kill yourself. Saraki is Senate President and that all

CharlesPhc:
ABUJA-MORE facts emerged Tuesday why the All Progressives Congress, APC, postponed the inauguration of the 8th Assembly.

Sources close to the party told Vanguard that the adoption of Senator Ike Ekweramadu as Senator Bukola Saraki’s deputy invoked the wrath of the APC leadership and ordered that the inauguration should be shifted to a later date.

According to one of the sources, the party never bargained for a diluted government in whatever level and would do everything to stop the anti-party activities of some of their members.

He said,”honestly we never expected this sudden interest of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that had initially said it was not interested in NASS leadership to now start championing it”.

“We got hint of this development at about 4.am and had to swing into action”.

“This sudden interest of the PDP was why we shifted the inauguration and ensure we put the House in order before another date will be scheduled”.

“As you know the Hon Yakubu Dogara camp went too far in all they have done in the last two weeks heating the polity unnecessarily for no just cause”.

“On Monday night we had a parade of those that will vote for Hon Femi Gbajabiamila and 203 lawmakers signified their interest so it could have been a done deal if not for the antics of some of us who want power by all means”.

“Nigerians did not vote for a diluted government rather they voted for change and a positive change for that matter”.

“One thing I can assure you of is that the APC will cross this bridge without a stain and the PDP will woefully fail”.

Another source also spoke in the same vein saying”we can’t inaugurate the House for now until we get a clear signal that the coast is clear”.

How can APC postpone a National Assembly Inauguration. Is it their fathers business

seunwen2:
THE 57 SENATORS THAT ELECT SARAKI AS THEIR PRESIDENT
ARE NOT UP TO 2/3 OF THE HOUSE AND THE CONSTITUTION SAYS
2/3 OF THE HOUSE CAN CARRIED OUT SUCH CONSTITUTIONAL
DUTY......
AT LEAST 71 SENATORS FROM 108
FINGERS CROSSED!!!!
WATCH OUT....... AS SARAKI WILL SOON BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE

Quote the constitution pls. Just go and sleep, the constitution says a Quorum which is 47

Nope. The Saraki group mightvturn against them and gang up with their colleagues to fight them. But wait o, APC don't have 2/3 majority so no impeachment fear oooo. It was a mistake indeed jare

vision2050:
you mean Dora Akuluyi?

lolz

Even Buhari will respect himself. Why should the APC hold Nigeria Stand still. Our Senate President should be elected in the National Assembly not by APC caucus.

Dora all the way

NaijaTalkTown:
Impeach Saraki and Ike, elect Lawan and Akume legally. And the Presidency in an attempt to restore order to the NASS, should order the armed forces to take over the NASS while Lawan and Akume legally remains as the senate and deputy senate president.

Can non senators Impeach a senate president? The APC senators are not senators because they refused to be sworn in. They have to now wait till next week when Senate President Saraki will instruct the Clerk to swear them in, because the clerk can no longer swear anyone in on his own power since there is a senate President

soe:
it was 57 cos saraki was the only candidate. and another candidate cannot be nominated in absentia cos he must stand up to accept the nomination

What does that mean, that the 57 are for Saraki nah?

I am loving Buhari for this. I was a GEJ fan but mehn Buhari has surprised me I swear.

deebsman1:
thank you, may be Bukky thought we r still leaving in that era of impunity. This pipu are even underestimating PMB, Baba should start dangling his axes and let them know who is in control.......see dem PDP as they are sharing posts among themselves.

Which axe? Today is the Inauguration o the 8th senate, so why won't senators elect be there? Perherps the Clerk of the House did his Job. Go and die Saraki is Senate President.

soe:
And i can see a supreme court judgment underway....suspending the Senate until further notice.

The illegality in the action of the so called clerk of the house will not stand. Having inaugurated 57senators only out of 109, that is not even up to a quorum (quorum is 1/3rd for normal plenary...but for extraordinary plenary such as this and constitution amendment among others specified by law, it is 2/3rd).

And this was also without the requisite formal declaration by Mr President, signalling the launching of the new assembly.
That said, APC needs to checkmate the activities of certain people. Saraki has only confirmed that he is far from "change" as he is neck deep in romance with the PdP gang. Shame to kwankwaso also, for being no different...now I know never to trust the so called N-PDP boys who ought to have been left to rot in political oblivion like Lamido and Muazu.

First, he called the VP a mere commissioner.
Secondly, he damned the meeting with mr president.
Thirdly, he paired with pdp imps.

My advicr to Buhari, this guy still has 4 heavy corruption baggages....it is either you immediately recruit Nuhu Ribadu into the EFCC, or you consult OBJ on how to deal ruthlessly with Senate Presidents.

Wabara knows what I'm talking about

The fact is there is No way Lawan can win, even if they are there its 57 to 51 nah

Obiagelli:
Lawyers are probably preparing papers

Preparing papers for what? Is 51 greater than 57?

How can a governor be representing a party leader? As a governor he should be the leader of the state in all ramifications. Nawa ooo very soon we will hear Buhari represents Tinubu in London

Dear Nairalanders,

I carefully read all the vituperations that was meted out against me when I appealed to everyone to be respectful of the office of the president.

You all called me unprintable names. I have never been insulted in my whole life on planet earth as you all did in my last post. Thanks to the moderator who closed down the thread because it was already getting out of control. For all you have said, I still wholeheartedly forgive you all.

Let us put all hands on deck to make Nigeria great again. Support PMB for the Nigeria we all want to live in.

God Bless you all!

-CramJones

You are a dullard I swear, looking for popularity here won't work. Lazy man go and get something to do

Mynd44:
Oh come on...this guy is some people's hero oooo

He is our Hero

ionsman:
Looking clueless as ever....He looks like he doesn't even know why he is there. ..

Just Luke dullard Buhari nau

kazmanbanjoko:
i only rain abuse on bad leaders, not on responsible leaders like President Buhari.

Time will tell

cramjones:
Even though I never supported GEJ when he came into power on his "I had no shoes" mantra, I never ever insulted him. I hoped that he would have success in governing Nigeria, even though I did not really see much leadership qualities when he served as an acting president. Nevertheless, I knew that Nigeria is bigger than party affiliations, so i supported and even prayed for his success.

Nigerians that voted for him where overwhelmingly happy that a man who came from the lowest ranks in the society will rise to be the number citizen of the country. I was happy too. However, when GEJ started saying this that did not make sense to we that thought rantionally and logically, we thought that it was just part of the no-one-is-perfect tag, however, after prolonged observance and monitoring, we realized that we were indeed dealing with someone who had no clue on what to do. Someone who played politics with the lives of Nigerians and someone who allowed his friends and cronies to loot the treasure dry. Wlhen someone has not clue he is clueless, when someone tells you that stealing is not corruption, the person is unintelligent or half schooled to know that the two terms are synonymous, when someone goes on to dance behind a womans booty, after boys were slaughtered, shows a fundamental problem.

The so called insults people have accused me of, are all statement of facts, and not insults. Even the international community echoed same. On the other hand I maintain that it is wrong to start calling a new president a dullard when you have not even allowed up to 100 days for him to prove himself. No one insulted GEJ in his first 300 days, because everyone was giving him a benefit of the doubt.

Please let us not undermine a man of goodwill. It is scarce to see a man like PMB in Nigeria. Let us give him all the necessary support and crucify him if he is taking Nigeria on a failure part after 100 days.

I rest my case!

-CramJones

Stop fooling yourself

We don't need your analysis

Live your live and let others live theirs

I will insult Buhari and there is nothing you and your father willdo about it

The highest is I will be banned but I will open another account within 5 minutes

Go and die Buhari is a dullard

ayodejisure:
Politics apart, Sentiment apart, tribalism apart.
let talk reality.
Am already feeling d heat. imagine, i bought
fuel at N250 per/litre just to power my generator
due to total power failure. Within 6years, GEJ
has put Nigeria into $60billion debt dat is N13trillion without interest.
if GMB is to repay d debt at N5B per year without interest, it will take 278 years to repay d loan. Chai
even generation unborn has been used to acquire
loan by GEJ. within 6 yrs, Nigeria economy has been paralise. What have we and generation unborn done to deserve this wickedness. God help us to survive this.

Nawa oooo, how old are you?

cramjones:
Dear Nairlanders,

It has come to my attention that not up to 2weeks of our president's take over of Nigeria's governance, some of you have been using unprintable words on him.

It is highly regrettable that we sit behind our computers and phones and call the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria a dullard. This is not right! We must learn to respect those in authority. What has Buhari done that warrants him to be called a dullard? The two religions most Nigerians practice tells us to respect those in authority.

Nevertheless, we must criticize where we believe PMB has erred, but we must refrain from using demeaning and derogatory terms. This must stop.

I urge the moderators of Nairaland to follow this trend closely, lest Nairaland becomes a forum to insult a sitting president.

We will not tolerate this!

God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
