The self acclaimed shoofiscated ones planned it in a way that if Buhari happens to reject food one day, their fake pastor will become the president, but a huge shock from northerners awaits them should the Daura President one day reject food as the afonjas wished for and planned.

I will rather be speaker house of Assembly than vice president not to talk of Senate president.

A vice president is a spare tyre and he doesn't even have a say even if The president is not there, he doesn't have directive of his own, he will only do The bidding of the President...

in nigeria as a whole i dont see what the elite do to impact the masses,they all eat and dine together without tinking or looking down,the impact they make is for there own pocket,so frustrating tinubu or the southwest dosent affect the common man on the street

No its not about ethnic identity.both Structurally, politically & by sphere of influence the senate president in any country practising presidential federalism is more powerful.

There is no democracy any where eremthe vice is more important or powerful than the Senate President,from the point of view of the law ....nu less he is Atiku.....already an heavy weight before venturing into politics ...the Vice President is literally nothing when influence is the subject matter ......he doesn't have control over anything including appointments to his own office

Now u are talking about politiking. D OP's question was who is more powerful. The senate President is the head of a separate arm of government, An arm that on its own represents democracy as an institution & that is the reason why once the military take over they will pull down that structure called Legislature. On the other hand the Vice president is only a lieutenant. An assistant that u can hear more when the president is not on seat or perform some function at the instance of the president. 90% of the Vice President's functions he will report to the President while the Senate President does not need to report to any other person not even to the President. Also it is not always that a President dies in power so that will not be used in this analysis to know who has a greater power. If u want to be objective u will find other reasons to believe that the senate president is more powerful than the Vice president just like the speaker is more powerful than the deputy senate president...

Re: Vice President Vs Senate President: Who Is More Politically Relevant In Nigeria? by MrTolu(m): 2:21pm On Nov 13, 2016
Oh you think the Vp seat isn't powerful. Ask Atiku Abubakar, Goodluck Jonathan and Namadi Sambo.

Atiku left his election as Governor of Adamawa in 1999 to become a Vice President.

Goodluck Jonathan left his seat as a Governor to become Vice President.

Namadi Sambo left his seat as Governor of to become Vice President.

The 3 of them never completed their terms as Governor before jumping at the seat of VP. They know how important and relevant it is.

The VP wields power it's just that most times they act behind the scene.

who is US Senate President? I heard the name of Obama, Joe Biden who is the vice president and hillary Clinton who is the Secretary of state, but I don't hear the the name of us Senate President why?
The US Vice-President is also the Senate President.
Re: Vice President Vs Senate President: Who Is More Politically Relevant In Nigeria? by Ontop123(m): 2:25pm On Nov 13, 2016
In the Nigerian context, theoretically the vice president is more important but, practically the Senate president.

The dichotomy being the willingness of the president to delegate duties as well as the vice president's or the Senate president's political experience and skills.

Senate president of course...

The Senate president answers to no murrafucker except his mind...

But can you say so for the Vp? Your answer is good as mine...

Besides the man and his fellow afonjas are praying and wishing buhari dies in office so their afonja son will be the president... But the Northerners are too magical for the prayers and wish to come true...

And SS and SE are also praying for buhari to remain hearty, bc we can tolerate buhari but for an afonja, is a no no
please my brother come forward come don't be afraid. what is happening to you eh is not ordinary oh God has remembered you today
Oyaa raise your hands up
Raise it up very well
Then bend it and place it on your head... Preferably where your mind tells you your brain is located
Then repeat this prayer after me

Bro think twice. Even State governors that are God father's to House of Assembly speakers are fighting for the seat of Vice president. The likes of Atiku, Jonathan and Sambo left their governorship to jump at the seat of VP. So can you see how important the Vp seat is if incumbent Governors can forfeit it to become VP.

because u gave the north the two most important instruments. of power the presidency and legislature neverdone in our history.
Majority of SW Senators never voted Bukola Saraki. His Senate Presidency was even championed by the SE and SS folks than others.

Same with Dogara. The SW Honourables never voted for him. They voted for Gbajabiamila. The SE and SS Honourables voted for Dogara just to spite Tinubu.

Dogara won by just 7 votes. Don't come and turn things around. A lot of us remember these events.


Assuming Ngige was elected Senator, he would have gotten the senate Presidency without qualms.

You got it wrong. The Senate President is just first among equals and he answers to the other 108 senators. And they can remove him in the blink of an eye if he fumbles. Senators can decide to remove their SP in just 1hour if they don't like him anymore

But the VP answers to the President and the President cannot remove him from office. It's hard to remove the Vp. It takes many steps and can only be done by 2/3 of both the Senate and House of Reps. And that's only if the committee created by the Chief Justice of the Federation finds him guilty of the offense raised against him. If not chikena 4yrs go complete
