We know their game. Because someone like saraki cannot win his polling booth(though rigged with just 7votes ove PDP)in the last LGA election that was done in kwara. So the only hope is to make sure he use baba influence to cone back to red chamber. Ifvtheir elections comes first the President as a matter of fact will support them after their own has been won they will do anti party against the president. And make him loose. So its very logical. Who made saraki lost in his polling booth so let's just wait as matter unfolds in kwara politics

If buhari is wiser than you, then you require special prayers to become useful in life

I am 100% in support of the NA and the election reordering.

What does buhari have to fear if he has performed well

That is the big issue. Buhari is not sharing Ghana must go and dollars. That is why Saraki is powerful because he is the only source of money for the senators.

I support the NA too. But it's a clear advantage to d PDP and d aggrieved APC members.

Long but interesting report.

Time seems to be on the part of the president as the 2019 elections is just in less than 1 year.


People are just getting unnecessary emotional about this election sequence while ignoring the other valid points raised by the president in withholding his assent.

They need to go back and take another look at those bills. If they want INEC to conduct local government elections, it has to be via a constitutional amendment.

The president equally queried why 2 grounds for challenging the outcome of an election at an Election Tribunal was removed.

A lot of both readers and the media has not deemed it fit to reveal which justifications for challenging election results were removed to be able to establish if it will be in the overall benefit of the country or the NASS was just being selfish. This is even more important than the election sequence everybody is singing about.

It is quite ironical that it is the president they call illiterate that has been regularly communicating with the NASS on bills he is withholding assent while giving justifications.

I never heard of GEJ/Yaradua communicating with the house in this regard. For Obasanjo only few occasions.

GEJ simply collated their bills in one corner of Aso Rock and was enjoying his fisherman soup and kain kain. At a time, there was a report of almost 200 bills awaiting Presidential assent/assent decline. It was only the constitutional amendment he vetoed at the tail end of his administration. That was a credit to him I must say, as the amendments sought to water down some powers of the president, and he definitely cannot be there for ever.

They should go and work on the amendments with more zeal and give critical attention to the points raised by the president, otherwise the Supreme Court will just throw the Act to the dustbin based on its contradictory stance with the constitution.

There is even a subsisting Supreme Court judgment in this regard during the Obasanjo time.

WisdomFlakes:
The above quote by pro-Buhari senators is so true. I have come to the realization that Buhari is not worth fighting for because of his indifferent attitude towards politics and his habit of abandoning those fighting on his behalf. He is the major architect of the problems the party is facing with the NA, where a 'majority' party (APC) is being bullied by a more astute and savy minority (PDP). Buhari's cluelessness is making Goodluck Jonathan look like a genius in that regard.

WhiskeyTangoFox:
don't u think those doing the right thing in this country should be at an advantage? Some of us dnt care about which party has which advantage, we only care about doing things the right way in this country and it's never too late to start. The newly suggested order of elections is the right and progressive way, any prospective contestant will know he/she has to work hard to convince the grassroot. The previous order made it too easy for the wrong pple to end up in elected positions, and that is a major problem the country is facing.

BlackPantherxXx:
Your comment is perfect, all the pro-PMB senators who fought for him were mercilessly shredded effortlessly and without any succor. Though, truly i wonder what PMB would have done to protect them, LOL. Saraki is firmly in control of the Senate, nothing can be done about it at the moment

emmykk:
when you want to build a house do you start from foundation or from roofing.


if the president is so loved why is he afraid of the election time table....You remember how Obj cornered ACN because election started from top he did a public holiday on tue day atiku case was to be decided as presidential candidate of ACN.And because the electionn was the 1st ACN had no presidential candidate.


so stop commenting emotional on issue neither you nor me will benefit.it is rhe duty if lawmaker to make laws the president is to sign it and not reject it

A man rose to the highest of his career to become head of state and years later become a civilian president defeating incumbent. Please what is wisdom? It is ability to achieve your goals. Check your region if you can find any man as wise as Buhari.

Olumaeme:
One thing I continue to ask myself is, why is buhari afraid of Election reform ordering? It's not that, they are saying his votes will be divided into two at the end of the day na.

He said he's very popular, he goes out and RED carpet rolled out for him, he thinks he has performed, some folks even told us that his popularity brought most of the members of the National Assembly, then let their own elections come first so they can test their popularity and know who is who..

The electorate will also be able to carefully vote for who represents them, because most times, all the attention is always on the presidency, and after it, everybody goes to sleep, waiting for mannas to start falling from heaven..

Truth be told, this 8th Assembly has demonstrated how independence legislator should look like, they shouldn't just be a rubber stamp where everything goes, They should have the balls and all the rights do do what they think is right and not what the president thinks, not that they have done anything tangible for the people much, but if not for them, buhari would have turn himself to something else..

Bravo to Saraki!

Bravo to Dino Melaye!

ReubenE:
You write very well but sound very dull.
Is it not possible for you to make sense without making reference to the previous government?

NaijaMutant:
Just shut up already.

With all the gory scenes in Nigeria, you should be volunteering to help carry Buhari's luggage back to Daura.

Who needs his bloody money

dignity33:
I see no need he didn't sign the bill if he have no hidden agenda toward 2019 poll.
