The governing All Progressives Congress,APC, has nominated Senators Ahmed Lawan from Yobe and George Akume from Benue State to run as the party’s candidates for the office of Senate President and Deputy Senate President respectively in Tuesday’s election at the National Assembly.
In an election held at the International Conference Centre Abuja Saturday night, Mr. Lawan scored 32 votes, while Akume got 31 to emerge as Deputy Senate president.
Two votes were declared invalid.
The APC has 59 Senators in the 109- member Senate.
Announcing the result, the returning officer of the election, Mala Buni, who is the APC’s national secretary, said by the result, Messrs Lawan and Akume are now the recognised candidates of the APC for the office of Senate president and Deputy respectively.
Senators loyal to another candidate, Bukola Saraki, boycotted the election.

PDP can broker a deal and be relevant.

Perfect

Lawal still remains d best candidate . thank. APC for giving us d best so far


SARAKI... from Jumps from one party to another.. NO LOYALTY

Has plenty cases with EFCC.. 2nd disqualification

And he is really ND truly arrogant

Bukola Saraki will win at the National Assembly, not at International Conference Centre.
By God's Grace.
Whereas, Lawan is the Senate President for the APC not Nigeria's Senate President .
At the end of the election in the National Assembly, Saraki would emerge as the Nigeria Senate President and by extension the Chairman of National Assembly. By God's Grace

Politicians and greediness,let our senators be sincere and choose the best candidate for the post.

position shouldn't be by region,ethnicity,religion but all about having d best man for the position.....God bless Nigeria.

The implication is that Saraki has 26 Apc senators, PDP's 49 senators over to you.

That is good. They are my candidates. Saraki is yoruba(forget that Fulani thrash) and who says the senate only belongs to north central?

Good one from APC.

Aaaaammeeeeeennnn!!!

If this sails through, it will be good for national spread of the political offices.

President - NW
VP - SW
Senate President - NE
Speaker - SW

Then I will expect the SE/SS to be SGF or COS plus some other ministerial appointments.

Saraki will woo the PDP senators and galvanize his camp, but I'm trusting the party leadership to consolidate on the results of the primary election and make efforts to placate the aggrieved. This effectively validates Gbaja's emergence as Speaker as well. Congratulations Senator Lawan.

How United State Speaker is Selected


The House of Representatives elects the Speaker of the House on
the first day of every new Congress and in the event of the death
or resignation of an incumbent Speaker. The Clerk of the House
of Representatives requests nominations: there are normally two,
one from each major party(each party having previously met to
decide on its nominee). The Clerk then calls the roll of the
Representatives-elect, each Representative-elect indicating the
surname of the candidate he or she is supporting.
Representatives-elect are not restricted to voting for one of the
nominated candidates and may vote for any person, even for
someone who is not a member (or member-elect) of the House at
all. They may also abstain by voting "present". [3]

APC is doing exactly what is done in United State

Note: For senate president, d vice president of United State is automatically d president of Senate.

I wouldn't have loved it if Saraki(the basta.rd) self acclaimed fula man becomes the senate president. I can't 4give his family 4 selling kwara peopl more to d marauders and enslaving the people thru islamic/sultanate imperialism.

I dnt really kn anytin abt Senator Lawan bt i dnt lik Saraki at all, So I hail APC for their choice.
Bt i fear Saraki might still pull some stunts.

National spread ko international spread ni with the sw clinching all the southern positions baa? Why was Pally Iriase of Edo state not considered for speaker of the HOR. The PDP reps from the lower Niger would be real mumus if they allow the sw get away with it. Vote Dogara and Saraki to spite this mofos

I believe in APC.......PDP with there so called form of zoning formula run the nation with run candidate for 8 years

Isn't Iriase a first-time lawmaker? I am not sure but he is in-experienced to be considered for speaker of HoR.

Dogara and Saraki will still make sense but Dogara has very slim chance. Saraki may still win the senate presidency though.

Tuesday is the election day we know and not dis APC primary election

Saraki will not win,that man is evil

K let's see what will happen on Tuesday
