...Internal affairs of who? By who? And for who? When has criminal offense such as forgery become “internal affairs”? Is the Senate now a family affair? Who owns the Senate? Nigerian people or the damn fool senators? Can you see the lawmakers at their best as lawbreakers? The 81 senators who support Bukola Saraki the heir to the Saraki Family Corruption Dynasty are severely retarded...

Th 81 intelligently disabled senators by passing vote of confidence on the leadership of Saraki means they are birds of the same feather – they're crooks and thieves. A vote of confidence on the leadership of a pathological thief who has nothing to offer the nation but to “steal and kill and destroy”?

See, the same APC senators who joined the PDP senators to support the leadership of Saraki rode on Buharimania to win the election are the very enemies who are against President Buhari's reformist agenda. See, by winning the election, we thought the stage was set to reclaim our country from the plunderers. But the very enemies are now dictating how not to run the country

...Already, Saraki has reached out to the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi I and the Emir of his home town, Ilorin, Kwara State, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari to intercede on his behalf with Buhari.
Both Emirs have already established communication with Buhari...

...Saraki has also commenced moves to pacify Tinubu by appointing some of his loyalists in the Senate to to key and strategic positions in the Senate ad-hoc committees
Saraki on Wednesday named Senator Babajide Omoworare, a key loyalist of Tinubu, as the chairman of Senate Committee on Rules and Business, the engine room of the Senate’s operations...

lekanolas:
...Newsday learnt that Saraki was actually disposed to offering his arch rival, Senator Ahmed Lawan the Senate Leader position, but that his pleas with senators from the North East caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were rebuffed.

Dogara was easily forgiven.
You still have a standing agreement with PDP, how do you want APC to swallow that?
(How do you want us to believe that the small poo we intend cleaning off beside that sweet-beans-porridge-dish is not part of the cooking ingredient)
H.E should remember to tell the emirs how he intends making APC contain the emergence of Honorable Ekweremadu.

Stop repeating yourself.
I need instances where internal legislative matter (a perfect example here is how they choose their leaders) has being adjudicated by the court or the Executive ordering for criminal investigation.

Supreme Court stops N’ Assembly over constitution’s amendments
By Lemmy Ughegbe, Abuja on May 8, 2015
nigerian constitutionTHE Supreme Court yesterday barred the National Assembly from taking any step to pass into law the Fourth Alteration Act which seeks to further amend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended...
... According to him, since the dispute is not between the Federal Government and the federating units, the proper person to file the suit should be the President.

...The AGF said: ‎”Hon. Samson Osagie, Minority Whip of the House of Representatives said to the whole world at a press conference purposely called on the issue of this suit , that despite any case filed against the said Act (which actually is a Bill), the National Assembly would go ahead to pass it into law.”

... ‎”That I listened to Hon. Samson Osagie, the Minority Whip of the House of Representatives on the NTA 9 O’clock News on 24/04/2015 when he said that the National Assembly would go ahead to pass the (Fourth Alteration) Act (Bill) 2015 into law despite any Court action because no order had been made against the National Assembly to restrain it from doing so.

...For your information, the bone of contention in the amendment is elections of principal officer from shall be by "open ballot" to "secret ballot".

Buhari has not started well and its best you stop feeding him with that. This sort of hero worship hampered the last administration. He currently enjoys a honeymoon period but for how long...

...The economic forecasts do not paint a pretty picture for the years to come. That is why the PDP gave him an easy victory. They need a fall guy for the economic disaster about to hit. No leader no matter how loved survives a economic collapse

...No one has been convicted of embezzlement or financial impropriety, so get your facts right. And FYI: No one will be convicted because they are all dirty, PMB included. Afterall there is honor among thieves

...If the 2015 Senate Rules are being used presently in the 8th Republic Senate notwithstanding your so-called "forgery tag" on it, what does that make you?

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
..Then tell me what business is this said rules to a non Senator like you and APC leadership?

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
...Certainly, by giving Senate Leadership 75% confidence vote, the APC Leadership and the Executive have been ruled out of order including the Judiciary hence it is internal Legislative matter and non of their business - QED

...There is a document called Senate standing rules - Fact
Senator standing Rules are amended for each republic - 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 and finally 2015...

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
That the 2015 wasn't a forged document rather an amendment of certain clauses in 2011 standing rules. However, there is a dispute on which body is responsible for the amendment, the Senate bureaucracy (clerks) or the Senate itself on the expiration of a republic.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
That 75% of Senate membership passed a vote of confidence on the leadership of the Senate and made a categorical statement endorsing the said elections/selections into various leadership positions in the senate...

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
...That the amendment is an internal legislative matter hence all effort by APC Leadership to put it on trial will be null and void.

hinwazaka:
As you said "Superior gifting", so to you who is most likely to gain the upper hand through the granting of spoils. And also as I noted: in the future. No one knows what may happen a year or two from now. And FYI: the Buhari brand is loosing its bankable credit. A year or two of the wrong scenarios can destroy the brand.
Fact: A president's popularity rises during a boom and falls during a recession

who is that 1 man that can give then command and they will be removed @ 1nce? Since from 1999 apart from David all then leadership of the 2 chambers that really perfomed excellently and have the support of @least 80% of the house either the Reps or the senate are not the chnoice of the executive... The choice of the executive have always been impeached most especially in the Reps.... And the leaders that were chosen by the House without any single external influence, are the leadership that always succeed............. Saraki/Ekweremadu are not the choice of the Presidency its very clear... With this @ least u should know that the sanate knows that its their leadership that they elected by themselves not by the executive as such tnhey will have a very solid ground to stay

DETAILS emerged on Sunday that the decision of the leadership of the National Assembly to effect changes in the Senate Standing Orders 2015 (as amended) was in conformity with precedence and the tradition of the Assembly to regulate its own procedure as guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution..

It was gathered that [b]the current leadership felt the need to effect some changes in the rules to make it in conformity with the yearnings of many senators during parliamentary delegations and induction courses..[/b]

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
“Senator Ike Ekweremadu also said on the floor on June 24 that each Senate comes up with its own rules as seen in the adopted rules of 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011,” the source in the National Assembly said..

“From 1999 to 2015, there is no time the executive got involved in the Senate standing rules and it appears they are crossing the line. The police cannot tell a lawmaking body the law to make for itself,” he said.

Gifts have been shared and everyone has had His pot of porridge. So the hopes you have of his impeachment are all in your head. PMB is more likely to get the boot than Saraki: though not now.

Akpabio emerges Senate Minority Leader
...
Citing Order 13(2) of the 2015 Senate Standing Rules, he argued that a ranking senator was supposed to have occupied the position given to Akpabio.
However, the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekwerenmadu, insisted that the appointment of the officers was PDP’s affair and not the business of Marafa, who is an APC member.

Stop dragging what you don't know or fail to understand.

He said the need for official disclosure of the figures became necessary in view of the current campaign for full disclosure of funding of all tiers and arms of government. He added that “until you open up your books to the public, let them look at how much you earn, and break that payment down into sub-heads and what that payment is for. It is after you open that up that the debate on whether it is too much or too little can then begin. For instance, if you bring it down, say for transportation, this is how much a lawmaker gets, the public can determine whether the amount is too much for transportation or not. There are many conflicting figures and you leave yourself vulnerable to speculations as a legislator if you are not transparent and you don’t open up your books. So, I am in support of the National Assembly to open up its book to the public and publish it.’’ (NAN).

Actually the reason why we even have up to 4,000 MGW is because of the rainy season. Let's see what happens later on in the dry season.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
You obfuscate what you know not.
The Senate President quoted the 2015 Senate rules [/b]while ruling APC Senators out of order for questioning Sen. Akpabio's qualification for minority leadership and consequently it stood and Akpabio is today the Senate minority leader.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
...[b]Why are you crying more than the majority of senators? This is the same question Saraki asked the lone APC Senator challenging Akpabio

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
...Every Republic since 1999 had its separate Senate Rules and there hadn't been a time a dissolved Senate rules have been used for a new republic.

when he nhas [b]over 80 senators that are lining and singing support for him [/b]who do u think will touch him? As far as all the pdp senators are for saraki almost all former govenors in the senate are for saraki and jnust bt a few even less than 5 Apc senators are for saraki this 4 years in the senate is for sure,, even if they will conduct another election him saraki and ekweremadu will win with land slide victory...... So don't even deceive Ūя̲̅ self no 1 can do him anything the senators of the like minds have taken it.............. The govenors against them should go and hung transformer.. He won't apologise to any 1 the worse they can do is just looking looking and barking with a mouth with no single tooth..... Tinibu should go to hell too

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
What do you call forgery?
2015 Senate standing rule is an amendment to 2011 Senate Standing rules that started in 1999 and we have 2003, 2007 and 2011.
The controversy on who and how it is amended is not called Forgery and secondly a Senator can move a motion in the senate chambers (with support of 67% of senators present) to set it aside hence it is purely an internal Legislative matter.
It will also interest you to note that the last senate sitting was still conducted with the same 2015 amended rules and no senator present challenged it nor called for its nullification.
Even Buhari that forged Cambridge statement of WASC result is walking free let alone an internal legislative standing rules amendment.
