Sagay is reading Nigerian Constitution upside down

Oh really? So how did Saraki come to be Senate Leader despite not getting the full complement of the remaining 108 members of the House?

The truth is the constitution stipulates that the entire house needn't be present to get the two-third necessary to impeach a Senate leader.

Johnnyessence:
the so called old professor of law has lost it big time. saraki can't be impeach with Nigeria constitution. saraki will be there till next year general election.

Was he elected by 2/3 members of the Senate? No, it was 2/3 of the 1/3 that came earlier that elected him.

Make Sagay kuku rewrite the constitution the way e want

This man has lost it all. Come 2019 he will be sent back to his village just as Buhari will

Many of us don't read and that is why politicians, police are taking advantage of us.
Saraki was elected by 57 members. Why this stands is because they formed a quorum. Remember 2/3 of 109 is 73. Please don't be blind by sentiment and we should not allow politician to always teach us the law we should read and know the law. Rise u NIGERIAN Youth

Gorri Sagay ...Who is ur father!!!

There was no APC senator there to begin with so why then would anyone want the PDP senators kept out?

Did you watch or read the news upside down?

The game here is actually being played by saraki. He knows he can be ousted by 1/3 of the simple majority in the house and the simple majority right now is APC senators

You people are playing with fire.

You know 2/3 majority is needed to do so many things in the constitution? Including over riding assent to bills rejected by the president?

Do you know what setting a precedence means after reading that?

Go back to your BMC group and advice them.

What's wrong with this old cargo. Why is he acting like a jobless fool. Everyday he looks for something to, Abu him dey look for publicity.let him gerrout. His own too much abeg,i no blame am.na people wey dry carry the news for am na him I dey blame sef

As a lawyer, I agree with what sagay said. That's the position of the law.

One does not need to quote the Constitution to back this.

Only the useless, frustrated pigs and idiots of Biafra will argue this even when the know nothing about the law.

In my opinion, saraki should toe the part of honour like Akpabio.

2/3 of the senators present at the time of the vote.

Think about it - if some senators are absent does it therefore void the decision.

What Prof said is clear

You clearly lack Knowledge.

Why so you think there is a struggle for each party to have more Senators in the house? Its so they can be in majority.

Those in majority hold much of the decisions that go on there and saraki knows this.

Since the simple majority in the house now is APC then it becomes east to form a quorum from The current majority and getting 2/3 to impeach saraki.

A minority cannot effect unless they are able to convince the majority to join in the process.

The majority already take a position of leadership which is why they also determine who the senate president should be. Senate president always comes from the majority but reverse is now the case in Nigeria.

Saraki is just trying to prolong the inevitable

tempest01:


Okay now I get the play and the reason for trying to twist the law.

That is why you people used the DSS to try keep PDP lawmakers out?

You think they used the dss and failed ?

All you need is someone raise the motion and someone secound the motion and it's done 15 mins is more than enough time....

This and the fact no pictures of apc senators was shown made us believe pdp planed the whole thing

Nevertheless, for him to be removed, they need two-thirds, not of the Senate, but of those present and voting at a meeting.

“It doesn’t have to be everybody. It’s those who happen to be there. Once they meet the quorum of one-third, and he is there, he can be removed by two-thirds of that one-third,” the PACAC chairman said.

The exact word from Sagay, a luminary in Law and Judicial practises have further buttress my point. I wish Mynd44 can read and digest it this time around.

Saraki got to the SP seat with a majority vote from those present in the plenary. The law did not say all the senators must be on seat because any vote can proceed. Saraki who was smart start up the vote process when major members of the APC are in a meeting with Buhari. The same game plan should be deployed in order to outwit him.

Infact, I need to reinstate here that the majority leader is too dull for my liken. He should turn the senate house to hell for Saraki and his minions if the Kwara fraud refuses to step down. And if matter come to worse, they should impeach him anyway, anyhow and let the kleptomaniac and the platform he choose to hop into go to court if they feel they are cheated. Politics is not a joke but a serious business for those who can get things done when resources are not much. Just like Oyegun, the Senate majority leader should resign if he can't get things done. The Senate President seat belongs to APC, he should mobilise APC members and impeach his the crook sitting on the chair;and then we can slug the rest out in the court of law

emmyN:
If that is the case, then a quorum consisting mostly of PDP Senators can easily impeach Buhari. What are we waiting for please? Let's send him back to Daura

Lazy frustrated idiotic pig. The process of impeaching a president is not same as saraki.

Ndi Ara

Nothing wet person no go hear from APC all in the name of consolidating power.
And almost all of them reason alike.
We need to change the changer

This sagay brain don sag

mrvitalis:

A quorum is formed by at least 1/3 of the Senate so what they say stands..... And a simple majority of the quorum is what is needed to impeach a senate president.... You are the one who needs to read

Nigeria constitution says 2/3 majority of the senate not 2/3 majority of the quorum or simple majority of the quorum. Please get knowledge and save yourself from preventable disgrace.

Is anybody still wondering why APC members used DSS to block National Assembly?

Is it now clear to all and sundry that this is the reason for the legislative coup?

Butterflyleo:





Nigerians and Kwarans in general know Saraki is fraudulent except you. This is why I say you always side with darkness

omo babaoloye emergence has been hurting your blood. you haven't see anything yet.

Impeach saraki is all apc seem to be interested in for now but are they the owner of Nigeria? What has saraki done that they are hell bent to impeach him

slotA4:

You obviously don't read.... 2/3 of senators present and you need 1/3 of senate members to form a quorum (minimum number needed to take a decision)

His many times will you be told that there was no APC senator at the NASS on that day?

Why are you all so dumb

OK. This clearly explains the DSS action in the national assembly. The game plan was to get some senators inside and carryout the impeachment but it didn't work.

So for those who were defending the govt claiming that they don't have a hand in the siege since saraki impeachment will only happen with 2/3 of the senators, you can now see the lie and the initial plan

I am actually not pained but just want to ensure what is true and right is maintained in the hallowed chambers.

You wouldn't want that because you love taking sides with evil people.

Saraki is only prolonging the inevitable. His impeachment is sure

Oga no APC senator was at NASS . only PDP senators so who then were the APC senators at NASS who would effect the impeachment since there were only PDP senators there?

Was it the PDP senators who wanted to impeach saraki?

Many of you clearly have no brains to think with

You are the dumb one.

Were they not meeting at Sheraton waiting for the right time to be driven to NASS? If not for the public outcry and the resistance by the PDP legislators, they would have been moved to NASS to perfect the act. How far is NASS from Sheraton? Not up to 10-15mins drive.

The constitution is very clear.It says 2/3 of members of the house and not 2/3 of those present at plenary

Look even if he is impeached will it make any difference,these people are just there embezzling Nigeria's money for their selfish interest.
If we don't speak up as youth and forget about money been shared old Cargos will still be controlling the affairs of our great country.
Let's make our vote count, vote for a young and vibrant man or woman who has plan for our future and not people who think backward. I Don tire ooooooo.

mercenary:
Majority of the same one third can also impeach Buhari

Gbam! well said. I hope they remember that too
