Giddyprance:
As much as i knw, he just has to belong to a political party to be qualified to be SP
Btw, the apc would not even think of such cos that amounts to giving senate presidency to Ekweremadu on a platter of gold

Volksfuhrer:
If Saraki had an APC deputy, he wouldn't have much of an issue with APC.

OPCNAIRALAND:
What Saraki has gained is irreversible in the short term. However, he has locked himself in a dead end position.

In the long term, he has lost credibility in APC and the party leadership are uncomfortable trusting their Vice Presidential or even Presidential ticket in his hands.

The PDP want him to come back. If he does return voluntarily, or if he is involuntarily kicked out by APC and rejoins PDP, the success will be short lived as well. PDP could decide to impeach him and elevate Ikweremadu as Senate President. If they accomodate him to live out his term, they are aware that APC is regaining the Senate and House in 2019 and both Saraki and Ikweremadu will loose their short term leadership and become floor Senators. Having witnessed his intrigues too many times, PDP is unlikely to field Saraki as a VP or Presidential candidate.....for fear he might compromise the party interest for his selfish and impulsive interest.

So either way its looked at, Saraki is finished at national level. He might still have relevance in Kwara politics after his lesdership in Senate.

poiZon:
hw will pdp impeach him?
u guys r just funny n lack d onionss to be commenting on this issue.
pdp has 49 senators n to impeach any elected position in the chamber u need 72 senators. even if saraki decamps to pdp with or without his supporters(APC) who voted him, the house still needs 72 to impeach him, this is d simple logic. apc shud just accept they lost out on dsp seat n restrategise cos for now its NO NEED!

disumusa:
you are a clown, you think saraki is pdp, he only use pdp as steping stone or you think is an ibo man. Let me tell you any capital project that come to central north is to advantage of sw and far north

Fire15:
That's the crux of the matter. You're on point.

saintikechi:
Saraki will remain as senate president, he will eventualy decamp to pdp with his supporters and buhari will be impeached for incompetence and cluelessnes.

MyMouth:
And then his real problem would start! That time buhari would be forced to take action! This is not the tambalwal/PDP thing where the north/ south west supported him against a "minority President." Buhari might have vowed to remain natural in the whole issue because they are all in apc, but trust me, if Saraki moves to PDP, that would be political war! Everything would be thrown at him! People are already angry here in the north because he gave pdp the duputy prrsident.Anyway saraki sef go rather beg then have that happen. The guy wise too na! It is now clear to buhari that no matter what he does, people will talk and later keep quite, watch and see what's coming! Shei Tandriods have been making noise, OK na!

Seen

What's the definition of 2/3?


If all PDP senators are locked out wouldn't APC senators be able to impeached them?



Obasanjo knows that scope!

akoaki:
Aggressive lobbying and under-the -desk approach can be used to get ten or twelve senators from pdp to vote in support of apc in case they become serious to remove saraki and his deputy. After all, the vote is secret and the identity of the pdp members will remain unknown. But i think the apc managers are not thinking in that direction yet.

MyMouth:
Ask yourself how many APC senators he has in his fold and how many of those senators who are mostly northerns would commit political suicide by decamping to PDP. Is it Goje from gombe? Or Ndume from Borno or yerima from zamfara or Dino from kogi? PDP is dead in the north! Can't u see that? And u forget that most of these senators both in PDP and APC are corrupt as such would be ready to cut a deal with the efcc. One thing am very very sure of is that, Saraki would never have won if really the president was truly against him. You can take that to the bank!

gregg2:
PDP will immediately admit him and he will remain Senator and Senate President

Besides, he can only lose the Senate Presidency when he loses his senatorial seat

kernel504:
Are you upto 16 of age, so you think Saraki is alone, or that Buhari will force-out his brother for Tinubu...wake up!

But Tambuwal won speakersip despite the fact that the presidency was against him.

frankyychiji:
How old are you? Buhari cannot do jack because Saraki is way above his league.

MyMouth:
Yeah, because there was a colabo between the majority north and the south west against a President from a minority south south!

MyMouth:
Don't be silly! Who told you I said saraki would be forced out for Tinubu? Mark my words, if saraki decamps to PDP, he would be removed by any means possible and another northern would be elected!

kernel504:
Everything is possible in Nigerian politics.... have a wonderful night rest.

PhockPhockMan:
This goes beyond tribal politics. PDP, having lost out in almost all front will surely fight and hold onto any straw for survival. You may be wrong If you think that PDP is dead in the north. Take that to the bank.
