Now APC and Tinubu must carefully make sure that Orji kalu doesn’t try to do a Bukola Saraki on them

because APC has zoned Senate President to the South South and Orji Kalu is acting too desperate though

he is from the SE and only managed to get Tinubu less than 10,000 votes from his State

He will definitely be looking for Senators he can pay to give him the Senate President even

though he knows it has been Zoned to the SS by the Party
Na lie....it was zoned to SE and SS.

Good majority for APC.

But they should still watch out.,,

This did not deter Saraki in 2015.
Saraki was in APC, that's why he was able to dribble them.

The opposition parties can come together to vote against whatever the APC choice for senate president is. All they need is 5 or 6 APC senators in their camp.

I no understand this your analysis. Please explain further in lay man terms.
With the opposition having 48 seats. Aspirants in the Apc who do not enjoy enough support from the Apc would just need a minimum of 12 votes from the Apc with that of the opposition to secure their ambition. The Saraki situation is likely going to play out again. We may have Deputies from opposition parties.

It was Zone to SS alone

Since 1999 SE has had 5 Senate Presidents and SS has had none

Also Tinubu did well in the SS and wants to reward them

Do you know that the opposition can produce a Senate President or influence the election of their preferred Senate President?
APC just need simple majority of 55 & they got 59

That's my point.

Who says another APC member cannot connive with other parties to become Senate President.

You see why you no get sense.. what is 59 compared to opposition's getting 50... When opposition can decide to truncate the ruling party's effort with their high numbers and some rogue APC senators with them.. try dey reason before you type

Let me sadden you more since election is credible only when obifools win.

APC has 62 and not 59 senators.

APC had 57 before rerun. Now the party has added

2 senators in Sokoto

1 senator in Kebbi

1 senator in Yobe

1 senator in Plateau.

In the House of Reps, APC had 162 Reps members, while other parties had 167, with 31 seats for rerun. Now, APC has added 17 while other parties had 11 with 3 awaiting. So, APC has 179, other parties has 178, while 3 seats are outstanding.

This is the position of things and it's now left for you to decide either to hug transformer or take a walk.

The 2 in SDP are from Nasarawa State, formerly strong members of the APC who were denied tickets at the primaries. The left APC and pitched camp with SDP, and won their elections convincingly.

59 is a comfortable simple majority mark.
So no qualms as far as the Senate is concerned

You forget to count the ones your party won in Adamawa state to increase it to 100 seats.
