I am confused myself, i can't even reach anyone for further clarification

Yes they were.....you must have started watching late

NgeneUkwenu:


Tinubu doesn't have interest in the Senate leadership! Believe me! His only interest is in the House of Rep!

Saraki Just destroyed himself politically! Bookmark this!

Hmmm

barcanista:
The Senate President (Saraki) will inaugurate other Senators. It doesn't matter who was present or absent, as long as the election took place.

So, you're happy now that Saraki, "the ultra corrupt man" (according to you) is now the Senate president. And as soon as he decamps to PDP, he will become a "clean" man.

kikikikikikikikikikiki

Still confusing

Obiagelli:
Just btw, have this Senate been inaugurated? Are they allower this process before inauguration?
Do sanator not take oat of office?

Omenka, jmain, JackBaueress1, Gboliwe, MizMyColi, barcanista, PassingShot, AbuMikey

From My understanding, they are supposed to take oath of office. Even those at the House of reps too.

To all those celebrating can you remember how many Senate presidents Nigeria had between 1999 & 2003?
If Saraki's emergence is against APC's interest then watch EFCC go into overdrive in the coming weeks.

Forwetinnah:


My brother. .the programmer has been programmed

Yes oooo! The music has changed, the so-called kingmakers will be made to eat the humble pile.

abacusCm:
I'm confused ooo,is Bukola Saraki from APC or PDP?

APC

Obiagelli:
I hope that's not the case, Saraki has taken oat of office o

Quaker Oats??

Obiagelli:





Still confusing

Lool I'm confused now too....from what I read from Barcanista

SarahBabyxx:



Yes they were inuagutated

semitunde:


Honestly if Gbajabiamila get the speakership position, Tinubu won't have lost.

statements like this is why PDP will always accuse Tinubu of being influencial in the speakership position.

What does Tinubu get to benefit if Gbajabiamila becomes the speaker?

51 senators are absent from the Senate house, this is funny

I agree with you....saraki's desperation might cost him in the future....his loyalty would be questioned

#lets just watch how it all plays out

APC can't remove Saraki

which makes the crack in APC a very big one!

Saraki returned unopposed and people think Tinubu lost?

Too many rookies in this forum.

I don't know why TANoids and PDP crew are backslapping over an APC Senate Presidency.

57 senators elected Saraki unopposed in the absence of 51 senators, something is wrong here

At the end of the day, Saraki was nominated by his party members, Dino Melaye and Yerima, which makes me wonder why PDP minions are going all 'we shall rise again'

Obiagelli:

Was Remi Tinubu present?

Obiagelli:

you think Saraki might be impeached maybe later? Or the court will be involved?

barcanista:
With Sen Saraki as Senate President and Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President, the PDP has become the defacto leader of the Senate. PDP shall bounce back in 2019... PdP Shall Lead Again

Keep dreaming...................

barcanista:
My brother, I shall always be grateful to God and to the firmness of brothers like you, mogidi, firefire, truckpusher, bayswater and sisters like Forwetinnah, Ecoterrors, Descartes etc. Together we expressed our support for Saraki, together we triumph against the "god-father" wannabe (Tinubu)! The era of godfatherism in National politics is long gone.

Wey hey!!!!

You predicted it, you campaigned for it, you're vindicated at last. I was just busy monitoring twitter, APC has suddenly gone very quiet on twitter, don't ask me why

ECOTERRORS:
this is a victory for nigerians, we say no to imposition and godfatherism in our polity.

Barcan#ista, giving Gba#we, ome#nka, ber#emx, pass#ingshot and Ngeneuk#wuenu heart break and teaching them politics 101 since 24 BC

Can you ever make your statements without mentioning me?? How long will I have to beg you to stop following me around?? Na by force

What exactly is your problem?? Your obsession is becoming alarming honestly.

1) The main inauguration is done by the President (usually via a letter to the Clerk) (see Section 63 of the constitution). This is called the proclamation of the National Assembly. Buhari has already done this.

2) Senators take the oath of office before the Senate President and the constitution (in section 62) states that they can participate in the election of the Senate President before taking the oath.

Wow!!
Saraki belongs to everybody and nobody.......make I laff in kanfanchan small...kikikikikikii

baralatie:

which makes the crack in APC a very big one!

A crack in the interest of Nigerians and the anti corruption crusade. Do you think people are really loyal to APC? The survival of Nigeria is the supreme interest not party postulations, THE HOUNDS WILL BAY FOR BLOOD.

JackBaueress1:

Even though i prefer the Apc lets this slide except if they elect a pdp deputy. The courts will probably decide

JackBaueress1:

What does Tinubu get to benefit if Gbajabiamila becomes the speaker?

Same thing others benefit. Political power and influence. It will be naive to deny that this is what all the political power strugglers want. It's what is causing this seeming rancour.

By the way, I personally want Saraki to be S.P and Gbajabiamila to be the Speaker. I don't necessarily know what Tinubu personally wants, but if I were him, this would play put nicely IF Gbaja wins.

neenar:

they are after PROTECTION. Nothing more.

Oh thanks, i guess Saraki and co did right.

Btw what do think of the absence of 51 senators
