I am hoping they see reason with the knowledgeable ones amongst them. The election will probably be secret ballot and it won't be electronic, so there's a possibility some will sell out.

APC Senators backing Saraki explain boycott of party’s mock election
A group of Senators of the All Progressives Congress backing Senator Bukola Saraki for the presidency of the Nigerian Senate have issued a statement explaining their boycott of a mock election for the position organised by the leadership of their party.

In a statement early Sunday, [size=13pt]the group said the open ballot system adopted for the mock election was primitive and undemocratic.[/size]

Mogidi:
@barcanista
Thanks for starting this campaign, even with my busy schedule this morning, I found time to "follow" @doyakubu and @bukolasaraki I urge everyone to do the same before we end up in a republic controlled from Bourdillon road.

barcanista:
Good idea bro. I will follow @doyakubu. O am already a follower of Saraki. All hands must be on deck to contain APC otherwiese we shall be at the mercies of Bourdillon road.

Mogidi:

Secret ballot would help the opposition more, that was why APC hierarchy decided to conduct their mock election using open ballot. Check @saraki's timeline and you'd see what I mean.

MyMouth:
This bacanistar guy funny die!!! Saraki and Dogara belong to the pdp abi? Dogara would only contiune with his quest only if PMB does not interfers. another heartbreack on the way for u saTANists!

Mogidi:


Same also Senator Kwankwaso, Dino etc, these people were friends in PDP before they all moved to the APC.

Bayswater:


Secret ballot won't benefit them in the main election. What the PDP should kick against is the use of electronic voting. History is being replayed here, the PDP has more to lose, many people won't understand this.

Mogidi:


Seems we're not going to wait long for the emergence of nAPC?

Mogidi:


Why won't secret ballot help them considering the party's hierarchy won't know who they voted for?

If you were an APC senator backing Saraki, would you prefer an open ballot or a secret ballot?

barcanista:
Ofcourse we are. The APC will definitely implode via this crises. The emergence of Saraki as SP will mean annuling the political calculation of APC. This will breed distrust and will affect 2019. I have my strategy(plan) laid down for PDP to takeover in 2019(I won't type it here for safety sake). But I tell you that Saraki's emergence will be a BIG win for PDP. Should Yakubu Dogara emerge speaker, it will mean that PDP controls the full NASS by default. We must be prepared for serious politicking

barcanista:
you sound more like a blockhead. This thread is to Endorse and CAMPAIGN for Saraki and Dogara. It means mobilising for their victory.
Nowhere was I emphatic on their victories by saying "Saraki and Dogara will win". I will continue to mobilise for the triumph of both men, and I'm very hopeful that success is ours.

MyMouth:

Kwankwaso way dey eye fct minister! You think he would vote against the party? The north west is lockdown for Lawal. Dano na from my state, we all know him as a noise maker. I hope u still remember his actions when he was in the house of rep. Anyway whether lawal or saraki or dogara or femi, all na we we!

barcanista:
The Secret ballot I believe will be used so as to avoid victimisation of those that voted against the eventual winner. My brother, we shall cntinue to campaign. The PDP has a lot to gain and to lose in this political power play. A Saraki victory will tilt us closer to resurgence.

Mogidi:


I wholeheartedly concur with above analysis and predictions.

Firefire:
As a patriotic Nigerian, I adopt Sen. Bukola Saraki for Senate President.

Mogidi:



Bros PDP is in a win win situation here no matter the outcome. A Saraki win would be good and a Saraki loss would equally be good considering the bad blood that would ensue from such a scenario.
Did you notice how fast the Dogara and Saraki camp quickly released press statement indicating their displeasure at events? PDP would be the winner in all of this no matter the outcome, its a win win for us.

You can't help but laugh at this deluded clown

You are a nobody in the wider scheme of things..

barcanista:
This thread is to officially call on noble PDP fans, Supporters, admirers and all patriotic citizens to endorse the candidacy of Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki(APC Kwara) and Honorable Yakubu Dogara (APC, Bauchi) for the positions of Senate President and House Speaker respectively.

Why Senator Saraki and Honorable Dogara:
The emergence of Senator Saraki will mean a major crack in the APC structure and the quest for dominance of this political era. Saraki knowing fully well that he wasn't the APC "nominee" will be more liberal and less partisan because he knows that he needs the PDP Senators to survive. The PDP cannot afford not to reinvent their influence and prepare for 2019.

Honorable Yakubu Dogara, a Christian from Bauchi state has pledged to adopt Hon Leo Ogar (PDP, Delta state) as the Deputy Senate President. He has also pledged that Chairmanship of House Committees will be in 50:50 sharing formular between the PDP and APC. Like Saraki, he isn't the nominee of the APC. His emergence will nullify the APC planned expansion and will whittle their proposed structure. The PDP can't afford to lose this opportunity to assert their influence in the 8th Assembly.

Can We Succeed?
Of the 60 APC Senators, a group of 35 under the Umbrella of "Like Minds" consisting of Senators from the three geo-political zones in the North (NC, NW and North East) have endorsed Senator Saraki. PDP has 49 members of the Senate, 18 from South South, 15 SE, Ekiti 3, Ondo 1, Ogun 1, Taraba 3, and one each for Yobe, Nasarawa and Benue states. A bloc vote of at least the Senators from SS and SE plus the 35 already from the APC Saraki group is more than enough to return Saraki elected. Considering the game of politics, all 49 PDP Senators should not fail to vote for Senator Bukola Saraki on Tuesday.

For the House Speakership, of 214 APC Members, 154 endorsed Gbajabiamila. The 125 PDP Reps (SS 52, SE 38, NC 8, SW 20 and 8 from NE) should endeavour not to miss this opportunity to have a say in the House, for the benefit of themselves and the Party. South South and South East PDP contingents must not disappoint Hon Leo Ogar. They all should mobilise and participate in the election. The Hon Dogara group already has 55-61 APC Reps in their ranks. With the block 125 votes from PDP in addition to the 55-61 pro Dogara APC, the "PDP" will coast to victory and be the defacto leader of the NASS.

We cannot afford to lose this golden opportunity to control the two chambers of the National Assembly. We lost the Presidency, we can't afford to lose the Senate and the House.

I hereby use this medium to call on well meaning Nigerians and the PDP supporters to endorse this proposal.


#PDP Shall Rise Again
#PDP Shall Lead Again
#God Bless PDP

barcanista:
My brother, they have no choice but to support anti-APC candidates. If you recall, APC wrecked a heavy blow on PDP through Tambawal's emergence as Speaker against PDP's Mulikat. That single act wrecked PDP's political calculation

barcanista:
I agree with you. You know a Saraki victory will give PDP control of the Senate ditto Dogara victory in the Reps. Their defeat will though still cause a crack in APC but will be a major setback for PDP in the power play of 2015-2019. It will mean that the PDP will work harder to stay relevant for 2019. That's why we can't afford to lose

Mogidi:


Why won't secret ballot help them considering the party's hierarchy won't know who they voted for?
