No. I want a senate that will work with the president for the progress of the nation. Not a senate under Saraki that all what they have been doing was grandstanding.


To make laws, that is in other countries but in Nigeria, to execute projects and to flex muscles with the president perpetually.


No. Only people like you will be thankful because you erroneously believe that antagonism and show of strength is the job of NA.


Buhari of course. A proposal to give unemployed graduates token on monthly basis just like what is obtainable in abroad was taken to the NA, the senate under your Saraki thrown it out through the window. Buhari launched Npower for the unemployed. Though, not perfect but still better than
nothing.
When you are a buharist, the points you rancor with an abysmal partiality prevents you from making an objective consideration and contribution becomes worrisome.

Now Let me attack you
No. I want a senate that will work with the president for the progress of the nation. Not a senate under Saraki that all what they have been doing was grandstanding.
this is so obtuse, till Christ comes, there is no where in the world, the senate will work hand in hand with the president. If that be the case no blacks will be in America, walls would have been built. I am not ready to dig historical facts to buttress this, but can you please name one country where the senate works together with the president as you so wish? Take a look at this, the senate refused to confirm magu because he was indicted on corruption allegations and fingered a corruptible character on antecedents. Yet the president refused to sack or replace Magu and the most annnoying is Nigerians turned a deaf ear and blind eye to this. Showing we don't even support our senate. Yet we criticize our senate for doing their job and properly scrutinizing the character called Magu. The question is, is Magu the only one for the Job in Nigeria. Nigerians believe the hogwash that Magu is doing a fantastic job whereas he is only dancing to the drum his master beats

To make laws, that is in other countries but in Nigeria, to execute projects and to flex muscles with the president perpetually.
The have the constitutional power to flex muscle with the president and check the excesses of the executive. That is why they are there. It is high time we make government a basic Pre-requisite in our schools. This is quite sad, who checks the excess of the executive if you don't have a senate. How do you communicate stringent issues brothering our wellbeing as a people to the government without the senate. You think the president is an almighty. Jeez!

No. Only people like you will be thankful because you erroneously believe that antagonism and show of strength is the job of NA.
If there be no antagonism to the executive why do then keep the senate. You can better still employ the NBA to dedicate special judges to make laws for the country. If the senate can say no! And take a stand to some antagonize some of the dictates and demands of the presidency, the question is why do you then keep this guys and pay them huge allowances.

Buhari of course. A proposal to give unemployed graduates token on monthly basis just like what is obtainable in abroad was taken to the NA, the senate under your Saraki thrown it out through the window. Buhari launched Npower for the unemployed. Though, not perfect but still better than
nothing.
You want a broke country to give out stipends to unemployed graduates yet you don't see anything wrong with you president's refusal to assent to the peace corps bill which would take thousands off the street and empower the unemployed. Yet you want free money for doing nothing! I mean Nothing! You celebrate Npower that gives a ridiculous N30k to people and shows no signs of sustainability yet you don't support GEJ Youth initiative that created real entrepreneurs,

And when it comes to political grandstanding who is more guilty of this, the senate or the presidency. Buhari is in the news celebrating mediocrity of getting things confused, the media celebrates him all the time and even the people. You are made to believe his hogwash anti-corruption fight. He can deceive Nigerians but not the world. Saraki, Dino are always in the news for the wrong reasons. The media has nevertheless celebrated them for passing and reviewing a bill. Reference a page a national daily to me where encomium was given to the senate for passing a bill.


Use your head, God have I to you for a reason

Their usual propaganda, if they have up to 46 Sinators why should they be afraid then........For me nothing is wrong with the new arrangement it is only the 46 sinators and Buba cabals that are kicking against it for fear of the unknown......i feel to wrestle down the presidential powers specifically from a tyrants hand is ideal......Wish the National Assembly success on their process to carry out their mandate to overrides presidential veto......NAS is an independent arm of Government that should be resisted from executive maneuvering
.


I agree. The 46 are illiterate taking unpopular ways to sabotage legislative progress. They should all be suspended to enable progress. The NUC, NLC, YOUTHS AND STUDENT UNIONS should storm the Legislature to enforce their suspension.

But come, let me ask smthg.. if the President is confident of his performance thus far, the order or scheduling of elections shd not worry him so much. it's because he knows he has failed woefully. that is why the cabal is shaking. they are looking for every corner corner way to gain undue advantage

This trade bodies are even against the bill.not all senators must not be in support.so those that are pro saraki,do they look like people that love the masses? Why cant the senators channel that zeal into reducing their expenses and passing masses oriented bills?

This a question bothering on constitutionality.the constitution has given the powers of ordering sequence to inec already,let nass amend the constitution.finally,for the senate to veto the president,they need 2/3 which is 73 but pro buhari has 46 senators which has killed the bill.buhari has won.after buhari's 2nd tenure they can regroup.i hope buhari uses this coming elections to install senators loyal to him.

I just don't know why Buhari is scared of having the presidential election coming last. If he's sure he has performed well like his loyalists claim daily, then it shouldn't matter the order which the election comes. Anyway, I knew this write-up is trash the moment it said 10 PDP have agreed to support Buhari's veto
Why shud d senate change the order of elections in d first instance ?I told u people dat for Senate can't override pmb but u all were jumping upandan.saraki might have much loyal senators but, when it comes to rubbishing pmb, most of the former's loyalists will thread with caution

The 46 are now caught Pants Down Conspiring against The Masses. That is to say, they are now certified Conspirators and should be treated guilty as charged.

Actually, I suspect it is those senators who're NOT part of the "46," that will more likely be prevented from or denied their party's ticked to re contest for their senate positions. Just watch. Their governors - especially those governors who are openly or clandestinely pro-Buhari - are waiting for them. Three prominent, clear and almost sure examples: Dino Melaye, Shehu Sani, and Rabiu Kwankwaso.

In a related sense, I tend to believe some analyses I read that suggest that, those senators driving this polls sequence change agenda, are the ones who're certain their party would not give them a chance to re contest. In which case, they thought they'd have a somewhat better chance of coming back/regaining their seats on another platform, provided their own election is scheduled away from those that will involve the doyen of their current party. Even that type of permutation will most probably amount to building castles in the air, though, IMHO.

Don't be ridiculous.
band wagon effect is a myth which is in the mind of people who refuse to think for themselves.

bandwagon effect indeed, then why didn't the APC win the entire senate and house because of bandwagon effect.
Why didn't the voting pattern change in the country due to bandwagon effect?
The North votes for the APC because their brother is Buhari.
The south voted for pdp because their brother is Jonathan.

Oh you think the senators are doing this to deepen your democracy?

hehehehehehehe

How naive and foolish.
They don't give a hoot about you.

They are only trying to secure their own re-election.
Even when you see the obvious today.

Many in the senate and H0R today got there om the basis of Buhari election.

If it had been held seperately in 2015 many senators and HOR member's will noy be there.

Anything that has to pass through the Iberian Senate is DOA. That is why people calling for restructuring are just wasting their time as long as it to do with politicians forget it. In Nigeria the masses are servants to politicians not the other way around. Shithole country.

So you want a senate president who will asss-lick the president. If I may ask, do you know what the function of the senate is at all. Nigerians should be thankful for a senate president like Saraki.

If I may ask a redundant question, whom do you think is more for the masses, Buhari or Saraki. Just use your head
Thankful for a Senate that is yet to pass 2018 budget despite been submitted since Dec 2017?
You must be a joker.
Re: 46 Senators Sign Up To Back Buhari In Polls Order Battle by waveman2: 3:45pm On Mar 20, 2018
I don, t understand ur point. If Jonathan allowed electoral amendment, then he is the real deal and Buhari is a chicken because pre election in 2015 every thing was favoring Jonathan.we all knew they were merely writing result but Jonathan allowed things to be done differently. I now understand y they call him father of democracy.

I do not know any other god apart from the Almighty God. Your nonsense question should best be answered by you and false messiah's as$ lickers. You Buhari worshippers are more afraid than the man himself. If the election was re-ordered during Jonathan's time and it was allowed, Why is this man and his asS lickers scared? Why is it a problem for you lots?

To answer your question, the National Assembly can change the order of election because they have the constitutional right to do so. Then may I tell you that most of the senators you claim will thread with coution came from the same party as Saraki to join the APC. They would overide him because he has lost the respect of the entire country.

Actually, the Executive-proposed budget for 2018 has been on the lap of the NASS since the tail end of October, 2017 — a period of more than one third of the budget year already.

The nonentity elements of Buhari's loyalists are afraid. If Buhari is not afraid, then he should have signed the re-ordering

Young man, be sensible. Buhari wants the constitution obeyed? Who are the people empowered to make the constitution? If he is sure he would win if elections were conducted in the night, why didn't he sign since the National Assembly has the power to make laws and also ammend the laws??
