Hmmmm, I don't think there will be a time in this country that politics will be at interest for people, it is for self desires interest.

Yes! Made mostly of PDP's members. So I understand why he's a good man in your opinion.
I didn't say he is a good man; he is just a regular Nigerian politician; but for the sake ofnour country, we have to encourage actions like this so that imposition of canditates will die a natural death. Thank u.

Wrong @ last taste. He broke his father's grip once so do not underestimate his maturity in THE GAME.quote author=modath post=35123207]

You will look till 2019 when they'll return to beg for votes & the circle will return again...

Seems Saraki has decided to make the upper chamber his mini fiefdom.but APC should make sure he doesn't get away with this plan of his, he didn't get a senatorial seat on his own name only but with the party's assent....


He should be allowed to leave if he wants to & the chips fall wherever they may,cos his open defiance will not do the party any good in the long run..

Presently he enjoys no goodwill from well meaning nigerians but the bigots & ethnic warlords who have no sense of decency..

Don't know why I have that feeling that he is enjoying his last taste of political relevance.
He enjoys a lot of goodwill from his constituency in kwara state and would win elections there on whatever platform he contests on be it "Neejarhya Animals farty" so tell me, are his constituents also bigots and ethnic warlords without any sense of decency amongst other claims?

Majority of what?

Sarakis like minded group is still larger and more progressive than that of lawan containing senators the likes of Dino melaye amongst others, and it is getting larger by the day as its selling ticket like tambuwal's was is independence of the legistature and all this is internally at the party level, you don't need me to tell you whom the very significant PDP minority will back. So i ask you again, Majority of what?huh

honestly u are a typical ilorin boy and I love your post but it seems you are outdated in d new politics going on in Nigeria.Saraki has not betray anybody but pursue his political career in a legitimate way like other politicians.The politics in APC is a game and d players involve know what they are up to,so let leave d internal politics going on in APC for d player to decide.
You know what's up, its like an EL Clasico, the winner takes it all and if you lose, you lose it all.

thank u very very for even taking the pains to elaborate it extensively, the problem with many of the ppl here is that they think the saraki group is static , the truth is their number has increased beyond the 59 and there are about 70 senators on his side now as at monday, there is nothing anybody can do it, saraki has the upper hand and he has the powerful backing of many northern and southern govs ,this goes beyond what ppl are reading in the dailies or on nairaland. If that election is conducted again ,saraki will still win hands down .

Noblechykk:
It's quite unfortunate that u guys are so blinded by selfish party loyalty to see that Saraki's action is good for the nation. For the past sixteen years that PDP held sway, the reason why the country remained under-developed is because after election, comes settlement. Tambuwal started changing that in 2011; of course APC lawmakers were the major actors then and now Saraki. It is bringing god fatherism to end.
What a myopic statement. So PDP supported Saraki without anything in it for them? As far as Saraki still want to retain that seat, he must continue dancing to the tune of PDP.

So therefore, he's only postponing his doomsday.

Really? Now let's do a roll call...
1. Bukola Saraki..... 15 years in PDP
2. Atiku Abubakar..... 15 years in PDP
3. Yakubu Dogara..... 15 years in PDP
4. Chibuike Amaechi.... 15 years in PDP
5. Olusegun Obasanjo.... 16 years in PDP
6. Rabiu Kwankwaso..... 15 years in PDP
7. Nasir El-Rufai.... 14 years in PDP
8. Abdulfatah Ahmed.... 15 years in PDP

*Please anybody can modify and add more names to this list. I'm already tired....

Actually the list is endless and these are the key men and driving forces behind the APC. Majority of the people in APC today are PDP decampees. So I make bold to ask you to sincerely tell everybody on this forum who exactly it is that destroyed this country. I would also implore you to tell the world where those people can be found at the moment.

Please, what/who exactly is PDP and what/who is APC? Where does the difference lie? Is it the name of the party or the people that make up the party? I need you to give an intelligent and unbiased response...
My brother why expect another truthful response when you've asked the question and given the answer already? Or maybe it is just a trap for the hypocrites to come expose themselves.

you have no idea . tinubu n oyegun n apc party has more upper hand than Saraki. He is just forging alliance that Will not last. By The time those his friends see hom for who he is , he will come back come begging. Because hr wont go back to PDP again . his game of thrones is dangerous. He should bend a little.
Did you just say "won't ?"

You are too cocksure certain for a non affiliate of both houses, the only thing certain in politics is interests and even when those change, alliances change too and you are damn right, this is too game of throne's-ish and my answer is every saraki-cum-tyrion is always smart enough to set his sails right and harvest the wind blowing from any quarters to his advantage while every scheming Tinubu/dogara-cum-cersei is/are only setting themselves up for a significant deflation of egos and subsequent fall the harder they push!!!

What APC did is not termed imposition, it's normal in democratic setting. In democratic setting an opposition party shouldn't have a say in who becomes a Senate President or a house leader but this is Nigeria.

There's no New APC for Saraki and his group, the only option left for them is to go back to PDP.

If I'm Lawan, I'll also go behind to make deal with someone like David Mark and let's see who will lose.
And seriously, will david mark make any deal with lawal who can't offer him anything greater than an ikweremadu as deputy senate president or nothing whatsoever that wouldn't go against party wishes? Otherwise What leverage does he have on mark? And let just pretend mark humours him, how would he get other PDP senators who are majorly hell bent on doing one over thief-nubu and the so called "treacherous south west" over?

Please don't repeat that again because it makes you sound like a political ignoramus (please don't be offended, it is not an insult)

FYI, once the APC is divided amongst itself like they are now with saraki having a significant faction(like minded group) they stop being the majority and add to that the not insignificant pro-saraki PDP minority, the anti-saraki APC members then become the minority, is that understood now?

If Saraki goes ahead to defy the party, Buhari will still become a sitting duck. We have a Senate controlled by PDP.

Now what the party must do is to limit the power of Saraki only to the Senate. Keep him out of the party.
....Bravo! Well analysed. If he defies d party he MUST b lockd out, 2 maintain discipline. If dis hapens he'll gradualy looz relevance! N i bet, he wouldnt want 2 b outside d ruling party, as derz no strong opositn 4 him 2 launch frm!

So PDP is weak opposition abi? Bwahahahahahaha grin hope you know how to count abi? 49 from 108 gives you how many %? And how many % do you need to pass a bill? Now that's reality, then theoretically, add the APC like minded group to these 49 and you get about 70 and counting from 108, tell me, is that up to 66% yet? Now tell me who the weak opposition is.

Point is.....enforce your so called idea of discipline and watch APC do a dramatic hara kiri

I like your idealism though, but there is a place for idealism and it is not in Nigerian politics. We're more about self preservation and aggrandisement.

In wch case he gradualy looses relevance, evn as any party he joins 4 his future ambitions wil b very wary of him!
