I don't think protest is getting anywhere. Let us form civil societies across states but united in a common goal. We need to protect our country. The west will never let us have peace coz they want oil. Our politicians continue to be used as pawns and the corruption is supported. We need to form a strong alliance made up different state n regional needs from north to south. It is time.... What do u think?

Like you said, we might need to have groups formed at every state so that they protest on matters that affect each peoples problems on a state level. For example if we have groups in edo and benue, they would protest against lack of government action on the fulani killings. South south states should protest against the removal of the lagos-calabar railway because they'll benefit the most, While lagos state group protests against the government for doing nothing on the closing of unilag.
Each state have their own problems and each issue could be covered quicker with state by state organized groups.

This tinubu lapdogs have been silent since Buhari's iineptitude has plunged this country into darkness with the longest fuel scarcity ever now want to march to the NASS!! I laugh in amala!!

Fulani herdsmen has been killing people at random ,you didn't march and now because your masters unterests ins threatened you want to march!! You are OYO!!! If you like march from now till 2019 Saraki will remain the senate president

Let's start protest with things that matter. Like lack of jobs for youth, or the fuel scarcity that has forced even unilag to close.
Let the youths not start protest because Apc party chiefs are playing politics on who should be the senate president. How does this benefit any of us.

Lol so Saraki was there... Why were outlets saying otherwise

AZeD1:
What would Saraki use to threaten Twitter?

I wonder lol.. Why do people hate Saraki for no reason?

When benbruce tried to reach out to Nigerians see the amount of insults he has taken. I'm in support of the government reaching out to hear the people but we as the people can be so negative that it turns people off.

bonechamberlain:
useless write up... sahara reporters trying hard to tarnish the image of saraki and anyone close to him. to make sure saraki has no powerful supporter. we all know saraki is a thief why throwing the names of people associated with him to the mud...

useless journalists.

It's disgraceful that they are insulting an Emir like this. Sahara reporters are fighting Saraki tooth and nail by any means.

Ratello:
I guess you are from Somalia to have said that these congregation of beer parlour and pepper soup drinkers are the best Senate we have around. Now go back to Somalia

Nothing meaningful said, just pure hatred for the guy. Anyways that's your palava....
Previous senate were far worse, this current one is by far more involved in matters than the rest.

I actually don't know why people hate him so much... I see the rest during their plenary sessions and no one has the respect and charismatic leadership that Saraki has. Who do people want to lead that senate ?? Is it Ndume ?? Because all those Lawan and Akume will never beat Ndume in a vote in the Senate.
This senate is working harder than the previous senate, I'll much rather things remain as they are, there's no need for so much hatred of Saraki.

Ratello:
Useless set of ignoramuses......

You can't blame them. They are only supporting who they voted into power, instead of who someone wants to put there.

Lmao. And some people wanted him to take over from buhari as president. I pity our country...

Hello guys, I just got an invitation for Friday 4th. But I saw one of the requirements is to bring:
"Evidence that you are currently undergoing a post graduate degree program"

Please does that mean I must be undergoing a masters program before coming for the test
What should I do if I don't have a masters degree or haven't applied for any ?

Citizens Power!

We need to continue demanding accountability from this government and any future government. It is commendable that the administration, atleast, gives a damn about MAJORITY public opinion.

This exactly

Super1Star:
That is the headache of Nigerians and not Buhari's.

If we all fail to protest this madness, na we sabi.

Nigeria is meant to be tightening her loins, and our elected NA members are still largessing.

Criminality is collecting 100bn as transport allowance and going ahead to approve another 45bn for themselves for purchase of vehicles.

Buhari was warned about his apathy towards NA election of his principal officers. The world can now see how inconsiderate and self centred Saraki is.

Saraki is not the problem, it's the whole national assembly from both the senate and house. Even if you remove Saraki, the next elected person won't go against the whole senate and house to please buhari. Unfortunately buhari can't win this battle because of separation of powers

Etizz:
U guys saw d response he made to dat fellow who asked why he's using a boat instead of a yacht?

Dat is a mind blowing response....

Nigerians are not always satisfy .....

He has d money to buy hundreds of yacht if he want to but he didn't for simplicity sake....

And if he decided to buy a yacht, dat same person who asked dat question will also throw a blow at him for excessive luxury......



Nigerians I hail theeee

It's just our nature to criticize excessively. Even if the person is doing better than others

It's not a verified account. Obviously fake

Senate vs Sahara reporters
They've damaged a lot of reputations

Acidosis:
No big deal

"Party before Candidate"

INEC counted votes for APC, PDP, KOWA, etc, not Audu, Wada...

Audu is dead, but APC is alive. Supplementary elections continue in Dekina LGA for all parties.

So I guess this should have also applied in taraba state, where the people voted Pdp??

madridguy:
APC Tinubu

WINNER

Fixed it for you

Alphaoscar:
@ op, I beg to disagree because the part of the constitution you quoted clearly state that before the commencement of the election but in kogi state's case

1. There is a legally conducted election

2. Even the dead candidate voted and his vote was counted


3. More than 90% of the election is conducted already


4. And don't forget the candidate and his deputy contested on a joint ticket and thank God the other partner on the ticket ( faleke) is alive and well

5. The votes were voted and recorded for the party and not in the candidate's name.

6. The election to be conducted is just a supplementary election which can never void the main election.


7. election been inconclusive is not same as been invalid.

cc: adaweezy , tonyebarcanista , gbawe , Ngeneukwenu .

So in other words, Tinubu's man will become governor.... Lol

Joavid:
Okay. But where is faleke from?

I heard Faleke is a former commissioner to Tinubu when he was governor.
I don't think that the deputy can become governor even when the election for audu is currently inconclusive.
I think the deputy can only be declared if the governor dies in office and the other party can win the current situation on the grounds of the other party providing a candidate that is not healthy or fit to run for office...
So either a new Apc candidate and an election re-run, or Pdp win on the grounds of Apc providing an unhealthy/unfit candidate.

We've entered another lawyer zone again lol

odiereke:
Faleke would automatically become the executive governor. And Tinubu would have the state under his armpit.

The deputy to audu is a former commissioner to Tinubu when he was governor right?
So does this mean that the deputy can become governor even when the election for audu is currently inconclusive I thought the deputy can only be declared if the governor dies in office and the other party can win on the grounds of the other party providing a candidate that is not healthy

We've entered another lawyer zone again lol

Instead of the country to focus their energy on providing for the nation, getting jobs for the youth and helping the economy, we're busy chasing people for lying about their personal wealth and chasing opposition governors.
I hope this government gets their act together in this trying times

chukwudi44:
They should go ahead and remove the injustic Umar and quickly forward the name of the new CCT chair to the senate for approval

So Saraki's senate will approve the next CCT chairman.... Interesting

Sahara reporters didn't address Saraki as the senate president throughout this report, only once in the beginning. What is Mr Saraki??
Blatant witch-hunt from them.....

Not a chance. That title clearly belongs to El-rufai

Nigerian youths should stop voting by party and vote by the individual contesting. If he's a good person, vote instead of being blinded by party

nwaanambra1:
these m0r0ns hav not yet woken up to the reality that PDP is no longer in government.

No more free money anywhere in Naija now!.

I told guys this would happen lol. A lot of people have gotten used to how it used to be under Pdp where politicians can put their hand in their pockets and give people free money.
Now for the past 5 months, it's changed lol.

He still controls the huge majority in the national assembly.
If the national assembly is made completely independent from external influence Saraki would become even more powerful.

I'm not a vivid supporter of any party, but I've noticed that APC wants to eliminate the opposition totally. I get that they want to revenge the suffering PDP did to them for so long, but how does removing competition help the common Nigerian people
We need the opposition to remain a strong party so that APC will be on their toes, working hard to get the vote of Nigerians again in 2019. If there's no opposition, APC will behave anyhow they like, just like what PDP did when they had no strong opposition like APC.
Like someone told me, we cannot have MTN as the only network because they'll rip us off, we need more GLO, AIRTEL and others to keep them competitive and ready to work for their customers.

So we are fighting the USA dollars economically and we think we can win
What are the economic team of our country thinking??

winniz:
Why are APC so desperate to have rivers and Akwa ibom state?

Two oil rich states

I think Pdp will still win, but it'll be closer now Apc is in power
