Necessary!

Have you seen the latest thread by SR on FP? What's your take?
The "election" took place without the legal proclamation of the Senate by President Buhari.
This will be interesting

Even if the remaining 51 returns.Saraki will still win with simple majority
You don't know politics,its a case of if you can't beat them,you join them like Hillary,those that would have opposed Bukola out of the 57 had to support him when they see his supporters and no much opposition party there they had to rest their case because if they try to vote against him,which is not going to change anything,they knew he'd eye them and screw them up after emerging as senate president which they knew he'd be elected with the looks of things,if others were present,some that supported him now would have voted against him

You have got a valid point, apc messed up big time, David mark could have been sworn-in
And if that had happened, APC can't impeach him cos they don't have 2/3 majority..

But had PDP done that, things will be difficult for them. Because that alone will unite APC members.

But Right now, PDP is the beautiful Bride of the Senate. The backbone of the Senate President.

The Senate has been divided not along party lines this time but along interests and loyalty..

This 8th Assembly will be different from other Assembly..

I hope it strengthens our democracy and unites our Nation

lt is too late now.Saraki has emerged and 2/3 is required to impeach him and APC don't have that.49 PDP senators won't sit back and allow their man who benefitted them to be removed

What about the thread on FP suggesting that there was no legal proclamation of the senate?
That could be a bottleneck.

But I ask..If there was a schedule of events, shouldn't Buhari have been at the venue at the stipulated time?
Awaiting more clarity on this.

JackBaueress1:
well what a TVC correspondent said was the N-PDP think they deserve a share in the APC government.
CAN has the Vice-President
ANPP has the party chairman
N-PDP deserve the Senate Presidency.


What will CPC and a faction of APGA have then?
Cpc has buhari, apga will most likely get the SGF

Buhari wasn't there physically but he sent the proclamation in form of a letter which was read by the clerk of the house at the begining

I don't know if the proclamation is different from the letter president Buhari sent to the clerk last week to convene and inaugurate the 8th Assembly today.

I learnt that Letter was read at the beginning of the session today.

Re: 51 Senators Absent As 57 Senators Elect Saraki As President by Change2015(m): 1:32pm On Jun 09, 2015
One thing needs to be said, I'm sure Saraki would have gotten the votes of a number of APC senators in a secret vote, so I do not see acrimony in the future. And certainly he will be aware that he needs presidential support to survive in the position, and if possible Buhari’s blessing for a future presidential run (Tinubu not being a viable option).
One thing that has disturbed me has been the use of the media against him. Even the false SR story... This has all been orchestrated by certain power blocks, while they have totally failed to explain why Lawan is a better option. As it is, Lawan has a reputation for being unapproachable (I cannot testify to the truth of that, but that is what people are saying) and the fact that Tinubu appears to support him has also dented his chances. Saraki will spend a lot of time now, mending fences, but I think he will understand the need to align even more with Buhari’s vision for government.

Obiagelli:
The 51 Senators were holding a meeting with president buhari at the ICC when Saraki and co outsmart them. The funniest part is that there were some pdp chieftains at the ICC with buhari
Holding a meeting on the day of Inauguration? As at 9am their so called meeting had not started at the ICC. They want to ground Nigeria because they are the APC abi. Tinubu and co shud know they are smarter politicians in Nigeria. He shud take his nonsense to Ambode, Fashola and the likes in Lagos.

Buhari just committed a great blunder. How on earth would you call a meeting at a time the Senate is to be inaugurated?

There is confusion about that. The NTA commentator just said that Buhari wrote to the Clerk proclaiming the 8 National Assembly on June 1st. I had previously (before today) read similar stories. However, others say that the letter only stated his intention to proclaim the National Assembly.
