Sagay is making up the rules as he goes along

at best this guy will chip away at the votes required to send Buhari back to Daura

Sowore does not have experience to be President

I need to be careful before the super mods block me,

they blocked me last week for posting a saraki campaign video

Saraki has the right mix of World class and Local exposure to lead Nigeria to greatness

Studied in London
Worked in the private sector in Nigeria
Special assistant to the Presidency
2 term Governor - 8 years executive experience
2 term Senator including being Senate President - 8 years legislative experience including 4 years in legislative leadership

Has the right mix of experience and exposure to lead Nigeria to greatness and belong to the class of Nigerians who have no choice but to stand up for a united Nigeria. Has Fulani/Yoruba ancestry, he is a Muslim and married to one Christian wife. he is from North Central. He has that kind of mixed background that simply means he can only stand for equity and justice for all Nigerians.

This is what some don't like and hence they accuse him of being a thief in order to stop him from ushering in a truly progressive Nigeria that embraces modernity!

why does Tinubu call others treasury looters?

A man that has coveted the economy of Lagos and made the state to work for him is criticising others?

KingRagnar:
When Osinbajo fired him, he did it under PMB's direction, so telling PMB to reinstate Daura is like telling him to change his mind which is obviously not possible. PMB and Osinbajo have a relationship built on understanding. Best team to run for 2019 elections

Buhari gave the order to remove Saraki using DSS. Politics is complex my dear.

Daura had to go because the coup failed. It was Buhari-Oshiomole-Daura plan all along

israelmao:
It's clear now that Osinbajo did the firing but not as we were made to believe before.

of course Osibanjo did the firing. I don't think Osibanjo was carried along in the plan to use Daura to remove Saraki.

The same thing that happened to Daura also happened to Babachir Lawal. Remember the famour question "who is the Presidency?"

in both cases Osibanjo did the firing, and both are close allies of Buhari


The relationship between Buhari, Osibanjo and Tinubu is quite complex. Not as straightforward is it looks

now we know why Oshiomole did 2 days trip to London

it must have been to save Daura's job

so which part of the modest living room is this?

Someone that goes to London for medical repair every 6 months

God does not sleep, let him campaign na, he will soon need to be rushed to London again!

Buhari is too ill to run a vast country like Nigeria. stop the deceit

why not show us the whole house?

lets see how humble the building is?

hypocrisy will kill you guys!

humble living room and his un-employed son drives a power bike? who is fooling who?

why is it so hard to see a full picture of Buhari's house?

secrecy and pretence will kill that man

One thing I do know is that power will remain in the North for a very long time

The South East does not have the vote to make anyone President but I am sure they can play a spoiler.

It is time the South East start playing the South West at their own game until there is some mutual respect. Whenever A South Westerner emerges Presidential candidate I think the South East should back a new Norther candidate from another party. Let power remain in the North forever!

God bless the Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, The Honourable President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Next President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Buhari shows so much disdain for due process and accountability. Not sure why some believe a man who hates to be accountable can be a man of integrity

Tinubu will rather Nigeria goes through another 4 years of deterioration just to achieve his ambition in 2023? Now that's very cold and calculated.

Saraki is ambitious and pursuing his interests but he seems to align his interest to the greater good.

There is no way another 4years of Buhari is in the interest of Nigeria. Buhari, is ill, clueless and incompetent!

It is really bad that any individual or region will wish another 4 years of Buhari on Nigeria just to win the Presidency in 2023

This is very cold and calculated and surely does not serve the greater good.

Saraki is ambitious and so is Tinubu. But the clear fact is Saraki is aligning his interest with that of the Nation.


Supporting Buhari for another 4years because of 2023 aspirations is very bad. I hope Nigeria is there in 2023

I hope Buhari goes ahead and re-instate daura on Monday

Buhari is lawless and I will not be surprised if he does this!

Of course impeachment of saraki with less than 73 will set a very dangerous precedent

what it will mean is that 2/3 of 1/3 can now impeach the President of the Senate and that means 24 Senators can impeach a Senate President in a 109 Senate. Given Nigeria's very tribal politics it also means the 14 Senators from NW can wake up one morning and team up with the 12 Senators from NE to get 26 Senators and the Senate President will be impeached.

Oshiomole should be careful. If you check the history of this country, all the bad habits and deviating from the rules usually start with Southerners and then the Northerners latch on such precedents and perpetrate it forever. Oshiomole may be close to power today but that may not be the case tomorrow. One thing however is constant. Oshiomole is an Ethnic minority and any impunity on the rule of law will come back to hunt Oshiomole's generation to come. This is Nigeria and we know how it works!

There is only 6 months to election the wise thing is to leave Saraki to finish his term and let peace reign. Saraki did not betray anybody. Since 1999 Nigeria has never had this type of slim majority in the Senate. If APC had 100 Senators Saraki will not be able to block anything. if he does not do the will of the APC he would have been impeached a long time ago. But the reality is the house is almost split right down in the middle hence why Saraki had to balance the interest of both parties.

it seems soldiers of Southern Nigeria and North Central and Northern Christians are being selectively sent to the line of danger while Hausa Fulani soldiers are bodyguards to politicians

Why does Tambuwal feel more qualified to be President than Saraki? The only reason Tambuwal considers himself a heavy weight is because he Tambuwal comes from Sokoto. If not for our tribal politics Saraki and Tambuwal are not even on the same level.

Saraki is a far better leader than Tambuwal.

There should be no dilemma. Set up a very rigorous process including live televised debate and direct primary and let them slug it out. Let the process throw up a candidate.


If you do horse trading behind the scene you will fail. Show the Nation you are willing to build a Nation where due process is the order of the day by organising a primary that follows due process.

Just because someone has political ambition should not mean that all kinds of blackmail is thrown his way from institutions of State. This is very dangerous for our future as a democracy

go and see GEJ

be a man and appologise

IPOB need to stop this nonsense, please go and organise yourself and vote APGA or register a Political Party and join the political process like the SNP in Scotland does.

Through court action and political consciousness and engagement everything apart from outright disintegration of Nigeria can be achieved through politics.


There are enough laws within the Nigerian constitution that if implemented to the letter can change the lives of Igbos. APGA is not enjoying enough local support in order to hold the centre to account just like the Scottish National Party does for Scotland.


IPOB is a distraction because th same united Nations laws that guarantees your right to self determeniation also give nation states the right to protect their sovereignty. This contradiction is why Nations fight civil wars and is also th reason why No group has achieved secession through peaceful means. If IPOB does not have a nuclear BOMB or a standing Army that can defeat the Nigerian State then we are on a long thing. Please join APGA and the political process and make life better for your people through politics, canvassing your opinion through democratic means or better still register as a political party and show how you can govern differently compared to PDP/APC/APGA!

9jayes:
Budget is 242 b


Nigeria population is 170m


Divide 242b/170m =1423.5 per head.


.

You need the population of eligible registered voters not total population

Saraki should fight for PDP ticket

It is not about who comes from Kano or North West

apc is destroying Nigeria

slowly but surely

ANIOMADEI2018:
THIS MEANS THAT PDP IS STILL THE MINORITY IN THE SENATE. SARAKI SHOULD JUST RESIGN ASAP

Politics and diplomacy is too complicated for a lot of you to comprehend. Akpabio resigned as Minority Leader and Olujimi is simply taking over that role. This was the official status as at the day NASS went on recess.

If when they return from recess on Sept 25 and the headcount is done and PDP officially becomes Majority party then Biodun Olujimi automatically becomes Majority leader. There is a floor process for everything in the NASS which must be followed. Thats what a lot of you dont understand.

Tinubu is protecting his business by pretending loyalty

when the time comes he will look the other way while Buhari is voted out in Lagos

No sensible Nigerian wants Tyranny. I may disagree with Tinubu's politics but Tinubu is not foolish. He knows what is right.

seunmsg:


Is it compulsory to comment?

Sometimes, you just read and move on.

nope its a public forum

do you know how many times I put up with the foolishness of you Buharist?

I am due one mistake. I have earned it considering the madness you people type on this forum
