| Saraki Foils Move To Nullify Ekweremadu's Election As Deputy Senate President.. by BeeBeeOoh(op): 1:33pm On Jun 24, 2015*. Modified: 1:48pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
Written by Musa Abdullahi Krishi Senate President Bukola Saraki on Wednesday stopped an attempt to nullify the election of Senator Ike Ekweremadu as deputy Senate president. Ekweremadu who is of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) became deputy Senate president in an All Progressives Congress (APC) dominated Senate on June 9, in what appeared like a coup to some senators of the party who were at the International Conference Centers to attend a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari. At Wedensday's plenary, Senator Kabiru Marafa raised a point of order where he observed that the election of Ekweremadu was in breach of the Senate standing rules. He said the rules that the senate was using were initiated in 2011, which provides that an election into any of the presiding offices in the red chamber shall be via division and not secret ballot where two contestants are vying for any of the positions. He observed however that Ekweremadu's election was done through secret ballot where he defeated Senator Ali Ndume of the APC. He wondered when the rules were amended and requested for an explanation from Saraki. However, Saraki ruled him out of order, citing the Senate rules which provide that if a matter on presiding officer's election has been taken care of, such cannot be considered any longer. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/index.php/news-menu/news/58120-saraki-foils-move-to-nullify-ekweremadu-s-election-as-deputy-senate-president 38 Likes 3 Shares |

It is just a matter of time before the whole senate will scatter and things won't be able to hold again. Saraki better find a way to finally resolve with the Unity forum if he wants to last on that seat. How long will he continue to preside over such a divided house? The banana pill is not too far from him if the division continues. 4 Likes |
