Too many cracks within the APC alread :oy. I see the Tinubu faction, Buhari faction and the Pro PDP faction headed by Bukola Saraki. What a divided house, less than a month into the new dispensation. The very internal democracy they accused the PDP of not practicing is what is going on within their fold. Only stuff that changed on May 29, 2015 is the name, PDP to APC. No iota of change in the attitude of the political class. LOL, i think Buhari is getting overwhelmed by the day.....maybe nor be wetin he expect sha. shocked shocked

Deputy being contested between Ekweremandu and Ali Ndume. Senators casting votes as we speak.
For sure Ike Ekweremadu will win. PDP is in effective control of the proceedings.

If Kwara is Yoruba land,why is there an 'Emir' in Kwara and no 'Oba'?
and if Edos are not yoruba, why do we have Oba of Benin Kingdom?

quorum was not formed in this election,57 out 109 senators,what happened to the others

Quorum for the National Assembly is one third of her members.. And 57 is more than half of the Senate


So a Quorum was formed

This is too bad for the hallow chamber, I don't see Saraki lasting long on that seat........I can smell impeachment notice very soon. The Mallams and their allies will fight back, Saraki has no fire to propel the Senate-You can quote me.

Yes, Saraki emerged unopposed meaning that Lawan stepped down..which further means that APC in a deft move reconciled the warring parties and gave it's support to Saraki..who with PDP's endorsement and his popularity with a significant number of APC senators would have won anyway. APC has once again shown superior political engineering in internal crises management. Let's hope the Nigerian masses get to enjoy the dividends of the new 'change'

Dont say what you dont know sir. APC senators did not vote. Lawan did not step down. They are in a meeting with Buhari

I am not a fan of Bukola but I feel he is the right person for the post.
Fearless,independent and intelligent.
No one calls the shot for him as he is answerable to no one. He can take a decision and stand by it without fear that he is stepping on a toe or biting a finger that fed him.

This is exactly the plan of APC to deceive PDP to believe that Lawani is their preferred candidate. Bukola Saraki is the number 1 candidate of Tinubu & APC for the position of the senate president. I don"t believe that PDP are so dull & clueless (Anyway we know them to be) to have fell directly into the plan of APC to make Saraki the 8th Nass Senate President. Chai!!!!! This Tanoids are soooo dull and clueless. Congrats to Bukola Saraki, congrate to APC & congrats to Nigerians
you still don't get it,tinubu faction made a mistake of saying their candidate is the only contender and that move made saraki and his camp to make a deal with some APC and most PDP group..... It is not about PDP & APC,it is a game between politicians.....

and if Edos are not yoruba, why do we have Oba of Benin Kingdom?
The oba of Benin is for d Binis alone.The Binis are said to have originated from yoruba land.
There many tribes in Edo State who are not under d rulership of d oba,eg d Ishans from where Tony Anenih comes from.

This matter no clear o. Buhari is presently having a meeting with all APC senators and non of them was at the National Assembly as at the time of the inauguration. Saraki won as "un-opposed" cos no APC member was in the house.

Is Saraki himself not in APC?

And are Ahmed Yerima Bakura and Dino Melaye who nominated and seconded Saraki not in APC?

BUHARIWILLWIN:
Hehehehehehe. See PDP saying 'Saraki wins, PDP wins' I laugh in Okrika. U guys will be surprised what hit you. Reason deeply and see that APC just gave you guys a sucker punch. The House is more united now. Check tins dis way, Saraki won unopposed abi. Meaning der was no contest at all. Contrary to wat Apc made u guys believe dat dey are having internal crisis. Crisis my foot. Wat APC wants is to finally sideline and relegate PDP to d abyss of Political oblivion. Gbagaun!. Heheheheh. D more you look, d less you see. APC is in control. Fine one from APC.

Cluelessness is already creeping into u ppl. Tinubu wants his boys in key positions so they can propagate the progresiver agenda. If he starts loosing key positions to opposition members in same party it means he becomes handicapped and which means the ACN path of APC becomes subdued. This would maker SW members retrace their steps. PDP is the smart ones here. All they want is discord in the APC just as the APC created discord in the PDP. PDP knows they don't have the numbers to be relevant but one thing is sure they are united. For example I can tell you the outcome of this election would go a long way to determine buhari's ministers. Don't forget there is still the ameachi's cacus who still does not want tinubu a Godfather in the party. They would all destroy demslves. Once the fulanis take over then the SW, SE and SS will unite again to take them down. And am yoruba so do not think am igbo.

This bodes well for democracy.

The primaries held by APC was a sham and uncalled for. The Senate is the only body constitutionally given the right to choose its own leader, why would APC want to meddle with this process?

Since there was quorum and Saraki was elected by the majority of the Senators, I say big Congratulations to him.

Re: Bukola Saraki Is The Senate President Of The 8th NASS by Guk: 11:50am On Jun 09, 2015
I have seen a lot of bile been thrown the way of Bola Ahmed Tinubu with respect to politics in Nigeria but we all need to understand that we all behave like Tinubu, one way or the other. The only thing i see with this man is Protectionism.

Simply Protecting what he has a Stake in. You all have to be aware that Saraki is PDP through and through and was never part of the formation of APC. Saraki only had a problem with GEJ & not PDP. Saraki only used APC to return to Senate as PDP wld not have nominated him and without Kwara, GMB would have still won the election anyway.

Tinubu is just ensuring that only those who staked into the risk of a new party should be the 1st in line to benefit from it. He is also ensuring that there must always be a Power Block that any other group must come and negotiate with to actualise their own dreams, so, whats his offence, at least we can see how other regions are struggling becos they do not have formidable power blocs.

What a lot of people do not realise is that Tinubu is not a threat to Buhari but wants to ensure that other groups do not hijack or pose a threat to him
