TonyeBarcanista:

A Senate President can be removed via impeachment by 2/3 members of the Senateors present provided they constitute a quorum. He also automatically loses his seat as Senator and Senate President upon conviction on criminal offence by a court or competent jurisdiction. He also loses his seat via recall by members of his senatorial district.

OK, If a Senate President looses his seat upon conviction by competent jurisdiction ..

..Who takes over the mantle of Senate President

..Taking Nigeria Senate as an example

TolaOluwatosin:
my position is clear, i don't support witch hunting, everyone should be persecuted not perceived opponents or when you fall out of favor from the power blocs, its pure rubbish, that Timi Sylvia case was stalled by buhari, while pdp is being hunted, and ameachi is walking around free, its nonsense.

All of us shouted when Sylva's case was withdrawn. We all are advocates on Amaechi's probe/prosecution, we all must support the prosecution of Saraki to prove to Nigerians that truly, our wailing is for a better democracy.

The Deputy Senate President will act in the interim pending when Senators elect a new President of the Senate.

All i knw, u hacked barcanista account. U not the true barcanista.

funny You,

this is true Barcaniste, son of true nigeria greatness, supporter of good governance and true democracy.

Being in opposition does not mean we should not speak the truth

[quote author=TonyeBarcanista post=38129157] Hopefully, by tomorrow or next it should be done. Thanks looking forward

TonyeBarcanista:

In other words, Ekweremadu will act in the interim?

engineerboat:

why do we like to create mountain out of valley like this.
What is the difference betwn what he siad then that he has not said again now, dont u read where he said 'not that i'm a fan of saraki, but i support his emergence to send a message to APC' any difference bewten 'to send a message to APC' and 'to spite APC', moreso what has deactivating account got to do with activating a new moniker. Barcanista, have u haerd of Barcansta also.
Back to saraki issue, let saraki go and explain himself to the CCB if hes found guilt and failed dat is even a moral booster to the corruption mantra of APC and also on record of first party Sitting senate president to be sent to jail,
also if hes free, let him clear his name from this mess.

Engineerboat, you have spoken well. I deliberately ignored him so as not to derail. Thanks once again.

engineerboat:

I think this is the base. Opposition is not anti-good governance contrary to what some members of APC are used to.

Yes yes, wailing for good gorvenance, and true democracy, whosoever steal should face the music,
no cover-up, those they've cover up earlier on from may will be exposed again and again.

But there should be no newspaper and news media trial

BlaqCoffee109:
@TonyeBarcanista, what exactly were your thoughts when you saw the pictures of Tony Elumelu sitting across the table from PMB; negotiating on behalf of France as opposed to his home country Nigeria, ably represented by Mr President...this is a man whom helped build up a middle-class that PMB's policy and style of governance is gradually eroding? Pray, do tell...do you mind doing a trilogy on this in relation to your published article on Ministers not being noise makers? Thank You

Eh ?

You don't expect PMB to make a comeback from 16 yrs of profligacy, mismanagement and kleptocracy in just 3months.
It was clear Nigeria was in for hard times when NOI announced she wld taking WB loan to pay salaries before the elections.

PMB is the Janitor, not a messiah.

You need to give him time clean up 16yrs worth of mess, its too early to bring out your score card, not at least for another 6 months.

Why should Nigerians stand with CCB. As a country what did we say about PMB submitting NEPA bill as certificate to contest an election. The man swore a false affidavit yet we said that was immaterial. I am not a supporter of fraud but I think that the law cannot be selective. We have made ourselves to accept anything in this dispensation. Until PMB's affidavit issue is resolve, we do not have the moral justification to take another to court for falsification of result or asset declaration. Has anybody come out to deny that PMB does not own shares in Panalpina as claimed?

dunkem21:

Yeske, pending the election of a new SP

CyberWolf:
Yea, I know of all these. What I wanna know is, in the case that he loses his seat via one of these reasons, will the deputy senate president automatically become the senate president?

He only becomes acting Senate President pending the election of a new one. He doesn't succeed him automatically.

You see, some people went to court to challenge Buhari alleged affidavit stuff but same people withdrew the suit. That alone put an end to it. At present PMB enjoys immunity so no one can bring that up till he steps down as President.

The prosecution of Saraki will set a precedent for the anti-corruption fight.

MichealEmeritus:
Barcanista, must you comment on every issue?

Is it a must that you reply to every political event in this country?

Is Nairaland your permanent place of work? You seem to be on here 24/7.

Now I know u may have a short memory but you openly campaigned for the election of Ekweramadu to be the DSP, your new party PDP joined forces with Saraki to go against APC party guidelines.

You joined the thousands of PDP minions who celebrated the emergence of Saraki as Senate President, now in your usual flip-flopping and unstable manner, you are making up all these nonsense just to appeal to sentiments.

We do not need you to tell us that Saraki deserves to face Justice. That is the exact reason why majority of Nigerians booted your Hero, GEJ out of power and elected PMB to clear this mess.

Instead of all these nonsensical posts, tell us the change PDP will bring in 2019, what are you going to offer Nigerians? Will PDP finally publicly apologise to Nigerians for 16 years of misrule?

Finally, my sympathies for your expulsion from Facebook, what happened?

Has PMB tendered a public apology for being a member of the DRACONIAN GOVERNMENT OF ABACHA.

LMAO @ the janitorial position...the change chant sounds messianic to me and countless others I suppose! Nigerians expected a whole lot from the past administration, taking into cognisance the rot from past decades of the military eras of which PMB, Obj, IBB and co contributed wholesomely to...given your janitorial stance,will Buhari visit and clean up those mess too? when you want a tree taken down-corruption in this context,you uproot its tap root...you don't cut it at the trunk..if you cut it at the trunk,the tree will bounce back...looking forward to your submission and a healthy discuss when Tonye does the trilogy...let's make Nigeria work

We have disagreed on many political issues, but on this Saraki case, I concede that TonyeBarcanista is spot on.

TonyeBarcanista:
I don't dislike him because he's a fulaniman neither do I dislike him because he's a member of the ruling All Progressive Congress.

How did Yoruba father and mother give birth to a Fulani son? Care to explain?

I like ABS but under any condition should he be shielded from prosecution.
SGBN case, his involvement in Intercontinental Bank nemesis and witch-hunting of Akingbola (in partnership with SLS), 12+ years of mismanagement in Kwara (because he is still the governor, Kwarans know).

omenka:
Much as it hurts me to comment on your thread, I'd like to tell you that you are a pathological liar trying to pass yourself off as someone with credibility. Only fools like yourself take you seriously.

You deactivated your old account so traces of things you said in the past would be wiped off.

You said a couple of months ago that "I supported Saraki just to spite the APC". But now you lie through your teeth that your support for him was for some other reason. I bet you can deny that now and ask for a proof because you know the record is no longer there.

Keep deceiving yourself and those who think like you. Only them care about your opinion.

@ bolded, your guess is right. He did that so that people would use his new moniker to judge him , His past hurt him so much that he as no choice than to deactivate his then moniker since he can can't edit it all so he decided to deactivate.
People like him are chameleon. I am 100% sure when APC start favouring him he will deactivate this new moniker again. I remember vividly when he just crossover he said he would not edit his (Pro-Buhari thread) previous post/deactivate his previous moniker, He should have keep to his word if he is man enough but unfortunately he is a coward.

Someone gave an analogy of the adulterous woman and Jesus Christ.
I think this case between Saraki and the FG fits perfectly well.
We as the Citizens are Jesus, FG plays the role of the angry mob, and Saraki himself is the adulterer.

Barca, while I understand your angle completely, I would be more than glad if the person involved wasn't Saraki.
He is guilty....I know. But so are those calling for his head.

What we are witnessing is a case of Dog eat Dog politics.
What we are seeing today is a form of message being sent to all and sundry that you do not step on the tail of a lion and go scott free.

If he was good enough to become a member of the senate, why not a senate president also?
The cabals in APC got out-witted in their own game and it is hurting them silly.
This goes to show the hypocrisy and evil of people who tout themselves as change agents.

Truth be told, this trial and brand of justice is selective and tantamount to extreme political witch hunting.

But guess what, I'm not bothered.
Either way it pans out, it's a win-win for me.

Saraki wins - He will continually remain an eyesore and a slap in the face to the evil APC cabals.
Saraki loses - Justice would have been won for the people of Kwara state.

I will now conclude in the words of Jesus himself
"Let Him That IS Without Sin Cast The First Stone"...

You don't know that he has done the maths and knows what is in the works. By the time your Janitor is fired for improper conduct, your eyes will bleed like the biblical Nile.

@Question: I never meant to dabble into his fulani/yoruba lineage, I only penned that line in view of his alleged claim (whether right or wrong is his own business).

The Intercontinental Bank case was one of the lows of Saraki. I really sympathised with Mr Erastus Akingbola.

Lol @"12+ years of mismanagement in Kwara"

If I hate Yoruba then I should consider myself as the most miserable of all humans. I have no reason to dislike nor hate Yorubas. You have no idea what I've benefitted (and still benefitting) from Yorubas.

Pls I will appreciate your modification

His "I'm leaving the forum for Facebook and Twitter" was nothing but a charade as he never planned on leaving the forum which is the only place where people make him feel like he's got some stake in the Nigerian project. He hid behind the pretext of leaving just so he could erase the things he said against Jonathan, PDP and Igbos, but people never realised that.

He was fed up editing and deleting his posts prior his conversion to a Wailer, and was hurt by people constantly going back on his profile to bring to fore things he once said and opinions he once held (like Jonathan is the biggest disaster ever to befall the country after the civil war) so decided to take the easiest way out- complete obliteration of all records.

What a cowardly simpleton- a guy with no class, no honour, with a soul up for the highest bidder. If he thinks anyone is gonna approach him with a promise of some political appointment (ministerial aide position the used to swing his conscience in the past) to tone down his rhetoric against the government, he's got another rude awakening in the offing.

Let him continue wailing- his nonsense finds validity and importance only amongst his light headed cheerleaders after all.

Well, Bukola can even deny his surname for political relevance.

I still have copies of Akingbola's petition on the case. It's so glaring he was smoked out. I wish the case is visited soon.

Stooge Abdulfatah can't even pay workers' salaries if 'leader' hasn't okay it. Kwara's situation is that bad.

Unfortunately, citizens are not Jesus Christ and the law has no room for exception. Saraki can't be likened to the adulterous woman because he has denied the charges, he's yet to repent and he's yet to make restitution.

The internal crises of APC is their own business.
