In d usual cloak and dagger nature of politicking,senator bukola saraki was returned unopposed this morning to rule the eight senate .
This came as a shock to observers in light of all d rumours flying around earlier:apc blockd the national assembly complex,apc has postponed the inauguration of the senators,apc has done this,apc has done that .
My party in the end saw the light and had to swallow their pride and I presumed had to order lawan to step down.This was done to whittle down the influence Pdp would have had in this assembly, because for pdp to come out and support saraki ,there must have been a lot of horsetrading as it is in the nature of politicians to do.
By this act,the party(apc) won,political sagacity won,the senators won,knowing fully well they determined their leader without an external factor.
This portends well for our mantra of change,that the party is ready to bend to the popular will of stakeholders even to the detriment of the party's interest .

What is this one saying? Wake up! Ekweremadu is the deputy SP! . That was the bargaining chip.

The election held while majority of his party
members were meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the International Conference
Center in Abuja, a meeting Saraki shunned.

The "election" took place without the legal proclamation of the Senate by President Buhari.

Its on Ait and Stv news bar, it's also been discussed on channels now. If it held, what is the outcome?

Thanks then, must have been misinformation from punch online, it actually said the meeting was ongoing. M not opportune to watch it live now.

Guess I jumped d gun on this one.seeing the caption :saraki returned unopposed,I assumed our party changed its mind.apparently I was wrong and saraki thought our party leaders some political lessons-imagine them holding a meeting today of all days .
Our party would overcome this slight bump,lesson learnt in this nascent game of federal politics.
