Apart from Senator Akume who is from the North Central zone and Remi Tinubu, no other names were mentioned but sources said other two rank­ing senators also from the South West are being con­sidered on APC shop list.

Feelers from Abuja reaching Kaduna, the sec­ond home of President Mu­hammadu Buhari revealed that, barring any ast min­ute change of plan, Saraki may be asked to resign or if he refused, may be im­peached on moral ground to concentrate on his trial.

National Mirror gath­ered that, Senator Ahmed Lawan who was anointed by APC as its sole candidate but lost to Saraki would emerge senate leader from the North East, since the Speaker is also from the zone.

One of the credible sources explained that, though Saraki and Dogara jettisoned APC’s ,earlier zoning of National Assem­bly principal officers which favoured the north which has both the Senate Presi­dent and Speaker but that under the new power shar­ing deal, South West zone may produce the senate president.

South East and South-South have no APC sena­tors and are already out of the new deal.

Meanwhile, one of the anti -Saraki’s groups, Northern Ethnic Nation­alities Unity Congress, NENUC, had called on the senate president to re­sign or face impeachment over CCT 13 count charges against him.

If saraki is impeached or he voluntarily resigns, i assume the deputy senate president takes the top position. Abi what does the constitution say? Someone enlighten me biko
God bless you for that question, that should be the norm & happen without any ceremony but that is NEVER going to happen..

Saraki made sure of a PDP deputy believing that will ensure he retains his seat but i will bet you Ekweremadu will voluntary step down cos before going for Saraki, the noose to hang Ekweremadu would have been prepared.

I think APC should rather be bothered with finding the nos to clear their ministerial nominess rather than whom should sit on a seat that is not vacant.
The government is on autopilot, the polity in total disarray. Barely any Executive, no Legislature. What exactly is the purpose of this whole thing and why is Nigeria not speaking up against what is obviously an intra-party personality feud. Why are the ambitions of a select few causing so much national upheaval.

Nature abhors a vacuum, the mere fact that the High court and the supreme court rejected his pleas should give him a message that this battle is lost already. But Saraki seems to be a stubborn person, hence his refusal to listen to the voice of reason and salvage what is left of his political career. No matter how hard he tries, I don't see him surviving this.
I sincerely think that Saraki has a case to answer. When a lawyer begins to explore legal technicalities instead of focusing on the merits of the charges against his clients, then there is a problem.

However, it is also important to note that the CCT has committed some procedural blunders that could vitiate the proceedings.

More so, the Appeal Court refused granting Saraki’s stay-of-proceeding request, not for lack of merit, but because there had not been any sitting on the matter.

So, I am certain that the Appeal Court will grant further request either for a stay-of-proceeding or Appeal of Judgement.

Lastly, contrary to what some people think, whatever be the outcome of this case is dangerous to the Nigerian state. This is because, the NASS is divided into three------the United PDP and two factions of the APC. Now, if a faction of the divided APC decides to join forces with PDP, this then gives the PDP, majority status.

I fear that APC may lose the Senate presidency if Saraki is removed, except PDP decides not to contest.

The DSP doesn't succeed the SP upon the latter's impeachment or resignation. We've had cases of senate presidents and speakers resigning or being impeached, without being succeeded by their deputies.

I can see apc, Tinubu and Buhari playing politics of vendetta.

They should pray hard to break Saraki's 14 loyalists if not they might just have given the senate presidency back and effectively to pdp.

Finally, even if Saraki is removed, Tinubu or Buhari's candidates will not get that seat, mark my word. Saraki and his 14 loyalists will line up behind pdp and any candidate of their choice which definitely will not be any one nominated by Tinubu or buhari.

Ghandi12:
You really have a lot of energy and time to expend on lost battles. None of us can safe Saraki - he started digging his own pithole over a decade ago, he only made the hole deeper by his recent actions. I remember debating you on these issues few months ago.

Saraki is already gone. Nothing will stand in the ways of the President's ministerial list that will not be shoved aside. I remember drawing your attention to all constitutional requirements especially as regards screening of Ministers.

If the Senators continued to tag along with a troubled Senate President the President will send his list of Ministers as required by the law. The System will ensure all potential nit-pickers are called-upon to answer for misdemeanors against them. Constitutionally, three weeks is all the Senate have from the day of the list submission to act or become irrelevant on the Ministerial list.
Don't you think our constitution should be suspended to enable a speedy approach to in bringing the much needed dividend of democracy to Nigerian

Lol bros please stop reading the constitution upside down!! It says they have 3 weeks to either reject or accept any nominees and I bet you ome hour is more than enough to reject any of Tinubu's nominees!! By the time Saraki finishes with Tinubu and Buhari,they will know no one has a monopoly over the abuse of power
saraki can not single handedly do anything, he does not even have a vote, except a tie.
saraki needs majority support from senate , which he won't get.

stop hallucinating !

And you think Saraki has true 14 Senators as Loyalist within APC so how come it was just 8 that voted for him during SP election and out of that 8 2 are from his Kwara alreadyhuh you seems do not understand how Politics is been played , You think all those people will continue to align with him now talk less of working against the Party huhYou will be surprised by the time many of them Pledge their Loyalty to the party that is why it called PO-LI-TR-ICKS.

Well you have a very good Point but you failed to mention the Procedure Blunders that CCT has Violated regarding to the Proceeding so that we can all learn from your point

Lastly, contrary to what some people think, whatever be the outcome of this case is dangerous to the Nigerian state. This is because, the NASS is divided into three------the United PDP and two factions of the APC.

Well you have a very good Point but you failed to mentioned the Procedure Blunders that CCT has Violated regarding to the Proceeding so that we can all learn from your point because from my own point of view no law was violated by CCT Unless you are looking for Technicalities and it was that same Technicalities Saraki used in becoming a Senate President initially what their constitution says is that all Members should be in attendance before the commencement of the Election but that same constitution also says in a situation were all members are not present the 2/3 which is about 73 of Members could could go ahead with the election and that was what Saraki relied on knowing fully well that his Colleagues will still make it down to the Senate but he hide under that Technicalities and went ahead with the election for his own selfish reasons.


I assumes this might be the Blunders you are referring to......Saraki said the Constitutions says only the AGF that is permitted to institute such petition against him but he has forgotten that the same constitution also says the AGF office is an Institution that must continue Functioning with or without AGF....To my own Opinion Saraki is fighting a Lost Battle my only advice for him is to resign and look for a way to meddle fences with His Party Leadership so that they can save him from the Humiliation is about to face comes OCT 21, 22 And 23 when his trial resumes.
