| Saraki’s Trial: PDP Plots To Pick Senate President by Nobody: 5:37am On Sep 24, 2015 |
Barely 24 hours after the arraignment of Senate President Bukola Saraki, some of his loyalists and Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) senators are planning to fight back, The Nation has learnt. They are said to be working on a plan which will lead to the election of a new Senate President from the opposition party, should Saraki be convicted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) – the “worst case scenario”. Security agencies already know about the plot, it was learnt. Besides, there were signs yesterday that pro-Saraki senators may have “laid an ambush” for President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list, which is being expected at the Senate “any moment from now”. They may reject the list and all appointments made so far by the President in protest against Saraki’s trial, a source said. But the Presidency is unruffled. A source, who spoke in confidence, said last night: “Some loyalists of Saraki and PDP senators have been meeting on the options available and how to tackle President Muhammadu Buhari. “At the meeting in Abuja, they resolved to stand by Saraki but if he is convicted, they will make sure that the next president of the Senate is from the PDP. “They are really aggrieved and have vowed to stop the candidate of the Unity Forum, Sen. Ahmed Lawan, from emerging as Saraki’s successor. “From the way PDP and its senators are rallying around Saraki, no one needs a soothsayer to know that a bigger conspiracy is in the offing. “The PDP has not come to terms with the fact that it lost the last general elections.” Part of the plot is to reject Buhari’s ministerial list and all appointments so far made by the President, it was learnt. These appointments include those of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Nigerian Customs Service(NCS) and Assets Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON), among others. The source went on: “They know that the President will not present imposed candidates as ministerial nominees and they are out for a pound of flesh as from September 29 because the Code of Conduct Bureau( CCB) dragged the President of the Senate to the Code of Conduct Tribunal(CCT)” It was gathered that security agencies have smashed the plot. A government source said: “The whole plot is aimed at frustrating the President and cause a political crisis in the country. “They have this feeling that they must pull down the house due to the arraignment of Saraki by CCT. In spite of denial, they are pointing accusing fingers at the Presidency for Saraki’s travails.” Attempts to make loyalists of tHouse of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara, to pitch their tent with Saraki appear to have suffered a setback. It was learnt that although Saraki backed Dogara to become the Speaker, the “template has changed”. Dogara and his loyalists would prefer to “facilitate reconciliation between the Presidency and the Senate leadership than taking sides”. A Dogara supporter said: “There is pressure on our camp to take a hard line position on the trial of Saraki but we will rather broker peace than compound the situation. “We are not betraying anyone but we believe the challenge at hand is resolvable. If we compound the situation to team up against the Presidency, we will all fail. “To take sides is to set the House on fire all over. This will not augur well for the new National Assembly.” http://thenationonlineng.net/sarakis-trial-pdp-plots-to-pick-senate-president/ 4 Likes |

It was gathered that security agencies have smashed the plot. Very funny quote!! How did the security agencies smash the plot? The PDP dominated like minds senators are in the majority and would definitely decide the next senate presidency if anything happens to Saraki. Furthermore if they decide to reject Buhari's nominess,there is nothing the security agencies can do about it. 130 Likes 6 Shares |

So PDP as well understands that Saraki's position is now untenable.  Let them keep "plotting", we aren't ignorant of their antics. And for all those making wild projections from theories that are neither here nor there, it appears you guys are truly hard of learning- perhaps it is just a case of chronic amnesia. If history has taught us anything, my guess is it taught us never to speak in absolute terms as regards Nigerian politics- sometimes as a matter of fact, the uncertainty of the outcome of these events is as high as that of a rolled dice. I'd rather sit and watch things unfold naturally. And as for APC, they shouldn't make the grave mistake of projecting Akume for the President. The scandal that would break out would be unlike any ever recorded in the National Assembly. My brothers from my state know what I'm talking about. 61 Likes 4 Shares |

“From the way PDP and its senators are rallying around Saraki, no one needs a soothsayer to know that a bigger conspiracy is in the offing.That is why Olisa Metusellah, FFK and their online minions have been acting like mad dogs lately, barking at everything including their own shadows. Can hardly wait to see where this ends. But one thing is for sure- somebody would hit the ground with a loud thud and pass out, while the other would walk away with a slight limp.

Guys, we are not out of the woods yet. This is a note of caution. Perhaps, the fact that Tinubu and co fired their salvo before the senate screening is a blessing in disguise which will help in two ways. 1. Pay back Tinubu by frustrating his nominees 2. If Tinubu is adequately paid back, that will bring more confidence into the camps of PDP and rebel APC senators, making it easier for both camps to still keep the senate presidency is Saraki were to be removed. If they fail to pay back Tinubu, then that will prove that money politics, and perhaps even secret threats of prosecution of senators may have crept in. They will then Have to work much harder to secure the senate presidency, if it comes to that. In such a situation, my secret workaround, may then be needed 2 Likes |

pizzy77: If CCT convicts Saraki,he would still retain his seat and appeal against it.He would only lose his seat if the supreme court uphold's the CCT judgement. If Saraki is removed,Ekweremadu becomes acting senate president and would have to oversee another election where a new senate president would be elected. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

As far as the forgery case is concerned,it only exists in the imagination of the APC members If you say the 2015 senate rule was forged,then you will have to produce the original 2015 senate rule 24 Likes |
