MrTolu:
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

Please between a vice president an a senate president positions in Nigeria, who I more influential and politically relevant in Nigeria?.

Please reasons for your answers would highly be appreciated.

Thanks

Eastactivist:
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

Senate president answers to no one Oga... If is like that the president answers to no one as he can also be impeached by the senators within a short time frame... Not to talk of common vp

modath:
This OP is a learner (like his type that have created this same thread in the past)

The thread is a deliberate attempt to malign VP Osibanjo.... The objective is to paint him as a lame duck & shoot daggers his way...He ain't slick..
If truly he wants to know, he should cast his mind back to Atiku during Obasanjo's era & like you pointed out, IB the clueless 1 is another example... If we want to be facetious, we can take it lower & point out PYO acted for 2wks a couple of months ago & got to enjoy all the trappings of the office, something we are all aware, Saraki would have given both arms, legs & a kidney for.

In the American system that we claim to have modeled our disastrous system that we practise self deceit & claim it is democracy does not have a seperate SP, the VP is the head of the senate.... We just love to duplicate roles so the largesse can get around...

MrTolu:
The Vice Presidency you refer to as common VP flies a branded Nigerian Air force jet across the globe. He's given the Presidential treatment any country he travels worldwide. He goes through the Presidential wing in any airport worldwide. He has 24/7 DSS protection.

He's driven in a customized bullet proof Mercedes S550.

You can check the budget and see how much is allocated the offce of the Vice President.

If you refer to that as common bro how will you refer to your state Governor ? Huh?

MrTolu:
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.

****South Southerners aren't this useless, we know the people responsible for all that stuff on the forum.

Per Op, frankly, the "political relevance" of these offices depend on their occupants. For instance, you certainly couldn't compare Ken Nnamani to Atiku back then much the same way (in reverse) Saraki appears to wield more power than Osinbajo.

Sometimes, you could even have a vice president stronger than the president or the Senate president wielding more influence than the president- take Jonathan and Mark for instance.

So, it all depends on the occupant and not really the position itself. But when you talk about constitutional powers, of course the Vice president wields more than the Senate president.

Olumaeme:
They would leave their seat base on some conditions with their successors.
I will tell you for free that, there would be certain percentage of their allocation they will get.

We are talking on a plain ground, even on this ground I will never leave Governorship seat for Vice presidency... Lai Lai

MrTolu:
At least you've accepted the fact. Be bold to accept the obvious those 3 men I named are more experienced politically than you are.

And if they didn't think the VP seat will make them more relevant, they would have remained a Governor. The VP commands respect wherever he travels to worldwide while it's rare to recognize A Governor out of the country.

Forget about state allocations if you have a corrupt President and a corrupt Vice President no Governor can match them Naira for Naira or dollar for dollar. VP Atiku spent 8years as Vice President and no Governor during their 8years tenure can still match his money Naira for Naira or Dollar for dollar excluding Tinubu and that's because of the status of Lagos as another country on its own.

MrTolu:
It's so sad some Nairalanders are ill informed. Using the case of VP Osinbajo and SP Saraki as an example. Sen Saraki will give everything in life to surge to the seat of Vice President. Prof Osinbajo might not be a career politician but I can beat my chest that most Christians in Nigeria voted for the Buhari/ Osinbajo ticket because Prof Osinbajo was a pastor and that garnered more vote for the ticket. To a degree that could be political influence in a country wide election.

The Vp has more powers being just 1 step away in line of succession to the presidency.

1. He's the chairman of the National Economic Council. Ask the Governors in Nigeria who they'll rather offend btw the VP and the SP. Most governors will choose to surge to be in the post of VP than SP.

2. The VP enjoys immunity, the SP doesn't. You can gain more influence politically with your immunity as you can do many things and get away without being hurt.

3. The VP is very hard to impeach just as the President which may take months and enjoys stability but the SP can be impeached under 1hour just within the Senate and becomes a floor member like others becoming less relevant.

4. The VP has more influence in ECOWAS and Africa as a whole and most times nobody knows the SP outside the country.

Eastactivist:
Vp no get power as far as the president is involved. That's what I mean by common, even the Senate president is also treated like that and commands more power and respect than the Vp...

truly your understanding of politics needs serious review.
