LOL.

Court will rule that there's no division in APC at the national level. The R-APC jokers attended the APC national convention and voted, unlike the N-PDP that walked out of PDPs convention back then.
Splashme:
Unlike R-APC headed by Buba Galaduma and APC headed by Oshiomhole, the PDP does not have a faction. It is one united body under the able leadership of Prince Uche Secundus alias TOTAL CHAIRMAN.

Now, the only condition allowed by our constitution to warrant defection is when a party is fictionalised.

SUMMARY: Saraki is right to declare their seats vacant
saraki might do this. APC goes to court. Case remains in court till 2019 election. But that will be the end of saraki

ZoneBs won't understand this.

Let them prove that PDP is factionalised if not, those sits are vacant for disrespecting our hallowed Constitution which they swore allegiance to.

Our Constitution is supreme!

I don't know if this is true. Quickly declaring their seat vacant is an act of desperation and stupidity. I don't think saraki can do such a thing especially for his kind of personality with unpredictable and sneaky moves.

Your fellow Zone B reasoned the right way,but you choose to reason the dark way, you and your chest beating way, learn to think properly before commenting, this is a public forum, stop embarrassing yourself. The article is so disjointed, saraki doesn’t have the power to declare Akpabio seat vacant

Very correct and very legitimate.

The same Constitution also spells out how a faction can be formed.By law,there is no faction in APC,as those parading themselves as R-APC neither bought forms nor participated in the APC convention as candidates.I personally,dont believe this news.
This is what I have asking about. What does the constitution mean by a party being factionalised? Please help me and others to see the relevant section. I will appreciate.

Believing dis story shows how brainless ppl can be.

When did Akpabio resign as ML b4 formerly defecting? How cld his letter of defection b read when hasn't defected as of then.

Partisan politics shld not override our sense of critical reasoning.

We are not aware of any faction in APC, because only one National Convention was held by the party and a chairman emerged. Where is the faction Secretariat and how did the exco emerged. and which body registered the factional party, INEC, CAC or what?, U guys think everybody is a fool like u.
Re: Saraki May Declare Akpabio, Other PDP Defectors’ Seats Vacant by 9jaArea: 9:33am On Aug 12, 2018
Saraki that cannot suspend any Senator since Agege, wants to expel Senators when same Agege is still around.

It's funny how PDP fans celebrate anything, no wonder FFK is the most important personality in the PDP now.

For your information, parallel conventions were held in more than 16 states of the federation.

Check your facts and read Dino Melaye's tweet after the state congresses " every state double double "

Of course he has to vacate his own seat as well.

Re: Saraki May Declare Akpabio, Other PDP Defectors’ Seats Vacant by KingsCity: 12:19pm On Aug 12, 2018
Yes their seats should be declared vacant as there is no division in the PDP.


In line with the constitution and Supreme Court pronouncements, Akpabio & Co ceased to be members of the Senate once they left the PDP
Re: Saraki May Declare Akpabio, Other PDP Defectors’ Seats Vacant by Bhol28: 12:22pm On Aug 12, 2018
He must first declare his own seat vacant because of the same reason.Greedy sinking politician.

Saraki is many things. But being dumb is not among them. He stands to gain nothing politically if he goes through this dark tunnel.

Doing this, is tantamount to committing a political seppuku.
Hasn't the Saraki bloke been suspending Senators left-right-and-centre, a state of things that once forced one Ovie Omo-Agege to take matters into his own hands?

one thing I love about you is your unbiase review of Nigeria politics
unlike some useless hypocritical zombies like the person below your comment
saraki is the smartest politician i have ever seen in my life and he calculates before move
You are right about Saraki, except he did not "calculate" or plan this move, it was forced upon him, hence it took him forever to defect. His last Maradona move to become SP boxed him into a corner with APC and with the election of Oshiomole as chairman and his militant stance on whipping errant members into shape, things changed. Oshiomole turned up the heat, hence he had no option but to defect because the leadership of the APC was coming after him. My understanding is that it was conveyed to Buhari the error of his previous stance of non interference and the effect the failure to control Saraki has had on his administration from day 1. The leadership was given the green light to do what is neccesary to whip him into shape or take him out. This was never an ideal or desired move for Saraki, it was the better of 2 evils.

This move has dented any chance of him becoming president of this country and Saraki knows that, so please dont say this was a deliberate calculated move....it wasn't. neither does PDP offer any guarantees he will be senate president next time around though in fairness, chances of him remaining Sp if he stayed with APC are slim as well. No true master tactician makes a move that rules out such options if he doesnt have to.

why hasnt Dogara defected? because he knows it it suicidal. But Saraki had no choice because all the others he had ganged up with who saw him as their leader had defected, he would have been left isolated and marooned, forced to toe the line if he stayed and seen as a Judas if he didnt follow. You see Saraki finally boxed himself into a corner....thats not what you call a calculated move. The only "calculation" was that of survival, better to go to PDP that is unlikely to win in 2019 and be a big fish than to be isolated in APC with no support and be dictated to by Tinubu and Adams.

When Saraki resigned from APC, who did he refer/address his letter to? APC or R-APC? You're naive.

I am not too sure how an average Nigerian reason these days. The very criminal senate president many of you are supporting has boxed himself into a corner politically with his country-wide electoral value nearing zero. Saraki control does not go beyond the current Senate, and to an extent Kwara, where the natives there are also eager to get rid of him and the Sariki legacy.
Re: Saraki May Declare Akpabio, Other PDP Defectors’ Seats Vacant by adekanmbi1986(m): 12:43pm On Aug 12, 2018
The reason for that is because their letters hasn't been read on the floor of the Senate before defecting to other parties. Saraki is right if he declare their seats vacant.

Don’t give all these sensational ‘news’ from bloggers or people using ‘may’ in their their title any attention. They may as well say...”PMB may deflect to PDP on Monday”

Go read the constitution, the Senate President does not have the power to declare any seat vacant without a court order. The various sections of the constitution that mentioned the entry and exit of a Senator clearly stated the process.

He does not have the constitutional or statutory powers to revoke, annul or withdraw the certificate of returns issued by INEC to any Senator.

Only tribunal or a court have such powers; plus the Senator’s constituents can, via a recall process. In the case of deflection due to factionalized party, like everything, it has not be done via 2/3rd majority vote.

I don’t know why Nigerians are this illiterate and gullible...courts have recently ruled that, the Senate does not even have the powers to suspend a colleague beyond few days and you guys think a single Senator have the power to remove another Senator duly elected by his constituents?
Re: Saraki May Declare Akpabio, Other PDP Defectors’ Seats Vacant by Nobody: 12:51pm On Aug 12, 2018
The only reason for defection thst is constitutionally backed is when the party is fractionalised. APC right now have two factions, APC and rAPC and these factions are in court. So, defecting from APC is backed by the Nigeria constitution. This is different in PDP. There are no factions, so any defector automatically loses his or her seat. This is the law and Constitution.
Argue with your ancestors if you like.
