This is change! The idea of #CHANGE as Nigerians knew n voted for is that d APC comes in and does things differently from the PDP and even past eras of governance in Nigeria. Nigerians expect as GMB and handlers promised, a u-turn in the right direction since we have been headed wrong all along. If the rules favoured a political party before then this change is good in that it favours all Nigerians as represented by their regions.

APC must also ensure that d dividends of democracy esp constituency projects are carried out and Nigerians feel the impact. They should work towards strong institutions that will stand even when people come and go, not strong people that will hold d country to ransom while milking our resources dry with impunity.

Senators of whatever party were voted to represent and better the lots of their people with good laws and every other thing. Party affiliation is not and should be seen to be an obstacle! Get to work!

The "Cursed"child is back again with his anti-party and rubbishing the Party, hoping and praying with all the sabotage and back stabbing that come 2019 he will be seen for all irrespective of party affiliation, this kind of game has never happen anyway around the world, what he fail to understand is; he is simply playing with fire that will surely consume him on the long run, it's obvious now why Jagaban doesn't want this clown to head the senate, "over ambitious" and self centred is the only words that can describe Saraki, I don't know whether PDP will ever trust a decampee after watching what Saraki is doing to his new party and APC will never forgive this man so tell him how can he win 2019 or 2050 election? As it is now, No Northerner will vote for him same goes for SW, he is now left with SS and SE and Kwara state, going by the happenings in the country, SE will not go for a perceived Northerner and the SS people will not forgive the "brat" for the part he played in rubbishing their own Son, so the only zone left for him is Kwara state, with the help of lai Muhammed he will not get a pass mark from their cuz I trust Jagaban will deplore all his political arsenal just to finished off the "brat". Those powerful people that are pushing Saraki are the same sort of people that push GEJ to go for second term; are you thinking of what am thinking? Who knows may be one day Saraki may also be spotted at "generale Société bank" for BVN Reg just like GEJ in first Bank?

[b]where is Buhari?

[size=14pt]The president was secretly overthrown 30th May 2015 on orders of America so that their stooge Osinbajo could be installed at a time of their choosing.

This why he doesn't appear at live public events that could be verified by ordinary Nigerians , e.g. his non appearance to inaugurate his own NAss.

His non appearance in any press conference.

His non appearance at Armed Forces day ceremony.

The absence of a single video clip showing the president being asked a single question.

The apparent disappearance of his transition committee and his staunchest loyalists including his wife. Whilst people like Osinbajo, Atiku, El Rufai , Oshiomole, Shettima, Saraki and Dogara become more prominent and influential .

All images you see of the president Buhari since his inauguration were photographed between 30th March 2015 and 31st May 2015, that includes his trips to G7 and AU summits (he attended preliminary gatherings of those summits in May 2015, there are youtube videos that prove the president was absent from live sessions of AU summit in June 2015, when other leaders were meeting)

[/size]
Stop expecting change and start expecting a bloodbath.[/b]

List of African presidents that have been probably poisoned include :

Abacha
Yaradua
Atta-Mills (Ghana)
Meles Zenawi (Ethiopia)
Zambia's last president and a few others.

Almost if not all the listed presidents were not stooges of America and following policies that were in the best interest of their country.

May the Gods of our great ancestors protect our president-elect from any evil plans against him and Nigeria

Re: Senate To Share Committees Between APC, PDP by addey44: 11:29am On Jul 14, 2015
If the Senate is to be considered that of a truly United Federal Republic of Nigeria, I believe we do away with the so-called geopolitical zoning of appointments . The zones are not even Constitutional entities but merely divisions of convenience. Why are we now making them seem to appear to form the very basis of our existence as a people? Before you know it, people in the same zone will soon begin to quarell over which State should take a particular position meant for the zone. The zones are not even necessarily homogeneous. For example, what does a Yoruba man from Kwara have in common with a Gbagi from Niger or Udoma from Benue States? Yet they are all in the same so-called geopolitical zone. I believe emphasis must be placed on merit if we are to make a headway in conducting our affairs in this country.

If you are ignorant of a topic, why not read. Senate rule is revised every four years, and it's not done by senators. As of when the rule was revised. The 8th Assembly had not been sworn in. I don't also understand what brought the past president to this topic. Show some respect bro
It means it was reviewed FOUR times during PDP rule of 16 years.
HOW COME IT WAS NOT IMPORTANT THEN THAT COMMITEE SHOULD BE SHARED EQUALLY AMONG GEOPOLITICAL ZONES?
You nauseating IGBOS PDP goons did not say it was good for Nigeria when south west had only 5 commitees chairmanship while some had three times.
It was already that during the FOUR terms of PDP, an average of 50 chairmanship slots goes to the ruling party PDP?
SARAKI IS A SLAVE TO PDP. THEY HAVE HIM BY THE BALLS. HE HAS SOLD HIMSELF TO PERPETUAL BLACKMAIL TO PDP AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
PDP 's agenda is to use SARAKI to regain power by undermining buhari and APC GOVERNMENT.
THE PARTY SHOULD CUT THEIR LOSS AND EXPEL THIS TREACHEROUS BASTARD WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. SARAKI WILL INEVITABLY PORT TO PDP EVENTUALLY.
WHY POSTPONE THE EVEL DAY!

seunmsg:
Nonsense. This is APC's government for crying crying out loud, why is Saraki hell-bent on giving relevance to the disgraced and defeated PDP? APC better find a way to impeach the senate president if they want a national assembly that will work with the president to implement the party's programmes. Saraki is only interested in furthering his selfish personal interest and he's ready to compromise the overall party interest to achieve this.

Very funny. When Saraki ported to APC, He was hailed by d ruling party. When he emptied kwara treasury to sponsor GMB campaigns. He wasn't seen as a bad seed. Mind u that one of the reasons he left PDP was because of candidate imposition. What makes u think he will allow same imposition now that he is in APC. APC should not blame PDP for its internal crisis. If they had their acts in other, what is currently happening in NASS won't have occurred at all. The days of them being opposition and basking in d glory of propaganda is over. They should now do that which dey promised.

Ghandi12:
No surprises, nothing has changed from last time. The 8th Senate has 51-Loyal-APC Senators, 49-PDP-Senators and 8-Non-Loyal-APC Senators

Personally, If I had ways or powers I will work hard to totally expunge/obliterate the entire NASS from our constitutional governance. These people bring us nothing but shame, entertainment and frivolities.

So every tree that does not produce good fruit should be cut down and thrown into the fire. From 1999 to date CBN Govs have all alleged this House of 469 Nigerians has been gulping between 10-25% of our National budget without any positive attendance effect on the impoverished masses.

We are a Nation of 180 Million people or more, how can 10-25% of our National budget be going to 469 Nigerians!?

Clearly, SP Saraki and APC have different visions. His vision seems to align better with the PDP' than APC' on whose platform he got into the 8th Senate.
It will be difficult not to believe the Senate standing order was carefully doctored to align with SP Saraki and PDP visions.

My advice to Buhari-led APC FG is to forget about SP Saraki and his 7 friends - they are practically back in PDP fold. Buhari-led APC FG needs to sit up to the reality they have lost the NASS majority to PDP as things were. PDP vision is one and only - To bring down Buhari-led APC FG.

The teeming masses are looking up to "Buhari-Change" for solutions to our myriad challenges and not some 469 elites. Buhari-led APC FG has all the power to allow or disallow SP Saraki and his friends to destroy him and his government.

All failures of the last administration are being tagged Jonathan's failures - the man on the street has forgotten or doesnt ,even, know there was a David Mark or Aminu Tambuwal.

SP Saraki and his friends have made mistakes in the past that can be easily used to destroy them before they destroy the hope of the teeming masses.
The National Assembly consumes 25% of the recurrent expenditure, not the entire budget. However, I agree that the present 2-chamber NASS is a drain on the finances of the country.

I'll prefer a unicameral federal legislature, like what obtains in the states. The unicameral fed legislative body will comprise 7 'senators' representing each state and 3 representing the FCT. The total income of each Senator won't exceed N2 million/month.
The single-chamber legislature will lead to significant savings on the treasury.

I wouldn't advocate for the complete abolition of the legislative branch because the very essence of a Republican democratic society is the ability of the 3 branches of government to be an effective check on each other. The absence of an independent legislative body=executive tyranny.
