Nothing like Rubber stamps. The national assembly led by APC is doing what any united and focused party would do. PDP and Ipob are just jealous that they are no longer running things. 2 Likes |

garfield1: So you believe 109 sinators and 360 house of theft members will go to their various villages and come back in January to override the president? Which do you think is easier: Override as it dey hot and go on break immediately or drop the hot iron and come back to heat it up in January? Besides you said even if Lawan just attempts to, it's enough for you. Since he has obviously ducked you have to concede he is the worst senate president ever. That was our agreement. Not so? 2 Likes |

Agbegbaorogboye: The process is not over.let us wait till next year.this electoral bill issue will linger till end of next year.besides,I told you barring any last minute compromise.if the senators and reps can be assured of an automatic ticket,there is no need overriding since their return ticket is the main issue. Again,lawan here is playing good politics.he doesn't want to have the same fate like saraki and nnamani.it is all personal interest first 2 Likes |

garfield1:Even the Senate wasn't supposed to meet today, but this issue kept them on. When this Bill came up in the 8th Senate, some of those who are very angry today, were those who spearheaded the killing of that Bill, for reasons that are parochial and selfish. Nobody wants to be treated like Ghali Umar Na'abba, let alone these stooges planted in the NA. It is not difficult, take away the Direct Primaries, and return the Bill to the President if there is nothing sinister from them as well. The Governors, whether APC or PDP run the show. So much powers, they have. 2 Likes |

garfield1: Oga, you have shifted goal post as usual. The process is over. The best they'll do in January of they mean well is to expunge the offensive parts. I doubt that will happen though. I suspect the bill will keep oscillating till "it's too late to sign" a la 2018. Lawan's fate is already sealed except he doesn't mind coming back as an ordinary senator. He can't come back as SP in the next regime. So there's nothing like good politics being played. Na just rubber stamp stooge doing rubber stamp things 1 Like |

Exactly what i have been saying since yesterday. The challenge will be from the House of Reps since the senate can't do it alone. Getting the required number to override the president will be a big challenge. I will advice they remove the controversial direct primary provision and send the bill back to the president. 1 Like |

This electoral bill is the most popular bill among Nigerians because it will make political party members able to chose those who will represent their parties. As usual, is rejected by governors who rule as kings in their states. If members of the National Assembly fail to override the veto, they should consider their political future dead because the Governors have already marked them dead. |

seunmsg:What would you think the situation will look like if they grabbed the bull by the horns and override the president today? Do you think it will ease the pressure on the Reps or increase it? Public opinion will certainly have been on their side and the Reps would have been boxed into a corner. The downside will be they will lose heavily if the Reps refuse to toe same line. But the House is usually known to be more radical and that's why Femi sidestepped debating it at all this year. |

seunmsg:This is the right thing to do if all parties are sincere. Direct primaries though good is not the silver bullet to our political problems. What stops political parties from setting ridiculously high ticket entry prices for those wishing to contest any of its positions thereby excluding a lot of people? Let us focus on the key area of that bill which is electronic transmission. Just expunge the direct primaries section from the bill and represent for assent. Anything else is running around in circles. |
