its so shocking that the APC could fall into such an obvious trap. The nemesis of the PDP began with 'imposition' of candidates. Didnt they learn from that?
How do you try to FORCE a leader on 'equals'? They
should have just let the legislators canvass their colleagues and let the most accepted emerge. If the party was particular about zoning, they had two months to sort that out within their ranks. I expect the same thing to play out in the House of reps.
moreover, PMB is focussed on what he came to do, and was wise not to be distracted and rubbished by the legislators internal affairs. The Assembly did a lot in the 7th assembly to break away from 'Executive Interference'. It would have
been foolish of PMB to want to draw them back there.
Na Jagaban no dey hear word or smell the coffee say
ambition must get control
Exactly. And how the APC reacts to this will determine whether it will get better or worse. To remove the powers of the legislature to elect their leaders will take bi-partisan action

Don't try us oo, We are very sophisticated according to APC and amala and ewedu people. grin

PDP controls the senate.

[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]
u ar d one that have spoken sensibly so far. We need real competition. Nt a one horse race.

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.
Sorry fast fingers, go back and you will not find it since you quote when i had network issues.

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.

If they are making David Mark Majority Leader then it means the Legislature has almost totally disengaged from their respective party lineages and have closed ranks across the polity to perhaps found a power bloc on their own. This is bad. I hate gang-ug-ups. I hate consensus. Now there will not be any debates, no inter-party battles, just agreements, back scratching and Nigeria loses.

Waoh. This is a real superstory!!! shocked

PDP thought its a masterstroke from them , hell NO, they were Used but don't know it now, they will later.

This is Saraki's coup in its entirety, he has successfully blocked any chance of being impeached now or in the future.

Olusola Saraki thought him well...


But the Rep is going Gbajabiamila's way.

That is #Change. Maybe not as envisaged but it is what it is. No need to play by same rules or different rules as APC deems fit. Let's all #change the rules! This is really funny and crazy at the same time

So Saraki a Fulani man from North Central is now from Yoruba and yet u people said Amaechi is not an Igbo man. Yorubas and hypocrites
Fulanis in Ilorin?

Kwara is a North Central state, no doubt, but its population is over 70 percent Yorubas. Didn't you do Nigerian people and culture when you were in school? Or did you drop by the wayside?

How many Fulanis have you come across with names such as Olusola, Bukola and Gbemisola?

For the sake of your own argument, Bukola is now Fulani.

Oponu!


I'm not going to get into an argument with you.

I mean, Fulanis in Ilorin?

They cannot even impeach him. No one can. You need 77 senators to do that. The era of hire and fire is gone with high domination years of pdp. It is no longer as easy.

Re: Ike Ekweremadu Emerges Deputy-Senate President Of 8th Senate by seun005: 12:45pm On Jun 09, 2015
Nigerian politics is so frustrating and immature! Saraki to me is nt worth being a leader at all......anyway am nt surprised because he betrayed pdp in d first place to come to apc. And dts y the leaders of apc doesn't want to use him as d Senate president cos its very easy for him to go back and dts wht will happen.
Now, saraki is nt loved by apc(his party)........and he is deputised by pdp. he only av one choice, either to defect back to pdp .or be impeached by pdp....... for a pdp deputy to emerge.....He is really a self centered politician and as caused apc alot of damages (thats my opinion anyway)
