I don't really have a problem with Saraki as the new Senate president but this singular act is not reasonable enough, im so sure its the price he has to pay to get the endorsement from the PDP Senators.

The only sensible thing to do is for him to defect back to the PDP so we know we have opposition leaders as the Senate and Deputy senate president .

If you act me,Saraki didn't do the right thing trust me,its gonna boomerang.
What exactly did he do wrong.

[size=17pt]Everybody talking about APC starting on a bad note.... But i say this is indeed Change, Free and fair elections, a competitive house and it would not be about a God father pulling the strings anymore, but Lawmakers canvassing for the most rational policies to implement for the good of Nigeria..... No more business as usual, No more politicking with the destiny of Nigeria.[/size]

this is the planed work of Bukola,thats the agreement between him and the PDP. That was the reason he was endorsed by PDP.i dont think he will stay long there.time will surely tell.

The fact that APC senators were absent was the point at which APC played into PDP hands
No they were. As much as i know there were 49 pdp senators and there we had 57 senators and saraki, Udumeh etc were there. Even if all of them were there what will they do against 57? They re 51 so? Simlpe majority is what he needed!

I see saraki as greedy nd tasty for power for him to go too that length. imagine north central has being in control of the senate for the past 8 years. i wonder how is going too look like between him and is deputy where will the loyalty lies.

maybe apc should have alllowed them to choose who they prefer.
why the pdp was majority the apc never clarmour for deputy senate president.

From reliable sources, the new deputy might be defecting to Apc soon.
it's actually the new sen president who might defect to pdp.

PDP controls the senate.

Tinubu should keep using osibanjo as his house boy.
If you think PDP is in control, then you must be joking. The Senate is simply out of control! Neither has APC or PDP in control of it!

What i wish APC will do is to suspend or dismiss Bukola Saraki from APC, let him return from whence he came from. He does not deserve to be reunited with the APC leadership after winning. I wish APC should do something to him to serve an example to any of their members who feels high and mighty to work against his party for selfish reasons.

I was supporting Saraki but not at the moment for this serious anti party deed. I expect Buhari to work with him until such a time when his services will no longer be needed.

This was done by Tambuwal to PDP, even though i liked him, i wanted PDP to use him as example but they didnt want to sacrifice the position.

Re: Ike Ekweremadu Emerges Deputy-Senate President Of 8th Senate by BlackHuman(m): 12:23pm On Jun 09, 2015
If Saraki wants to decamp to P.D.P he should do so now...Let's know who d real progressives are, instead of riding on the popularity of the APC.

That what apc say when they have lost. Bro tinubu needs 2/3 i.e 77 votes to remove him apc is just 59 so what happens.

Hypocrites! Una don come again. It was never a bad idea for Tambuwal to be unanimously elected by the House of reps just to prove their independence from party imposition of candidates on them but now an anti party move for selfish reason when the law of Karma came calling.

What goes round definitely find way to come around.
