Sanchez01:

The truth is, the stated requirement for impeachment of the Senate President is ambiguous. It didn't state whether it is 2/3 of the entire senate or 2/3 of those present. However each side define it is right, unfortunately.

Wiseandtrue:

I know that Saraki had the vote of APC and PDP members to become the Senate President !

Olumeme:


It's clear 2/3 majority of the members, 2/3 of 109 is 73 members, the court has pronounced it already, in different cases.

Let me also let you know that, everything cannot be in the constitution, there are some things you need to use common sense, while drawing inferences from other laws..

I cited example of electing and recalling a Senator

Metuh:
Hahahahah Borrofice whose constituency is currently in perpetual darkness is also talking about how to impeach Saraki. haha haha



He should start thinking about how he will permutate his way back to senate cos his people has rejected him.


His constituency has no electricity since 4 yrs and still counting.

Noblechykk:

Let me clear you sir; all the senators must not be present before impeachment happens but the number must not be below 73 which is the 2/3.

senatordave1:

[s]Your right.the makers of the constitution must have envisaged that not every senator can always be around.perhaps,that 2/3 may suffice.i still insist that apc should muster a simple majority to remove him and put him on the backfoot[/s]

frowland:


That is not possible, the law did not emphatically say 73... It says 2/3rd of the members.
To form a quorum in the house you need 1/3rd of the senate. To impeach a senate president you will need 2/3rd of the members.. not 73.
What is your definition of members? Are you also adding those that are yet to be sworn in as also members? even the dead as also members?

frowland:


Sorry we do not have 109 members and you cannot count dead senators as members or count court ejected senators as members either.
Secondly, when senate votes on resolutions its done by 2/3rd of the members who form a quorum and NOT 2/3rd of 109. We do not have 109 members. What is your definition of members if I may ask?
So if we have some dead senators, sick senators, ejected senators, and even ones that travel for one function or the other, you have to wait for all of them to return before you can decide to remove a senate president?
Well, common sense can be applied in any way to suit agenda. Don't you think so?

senatordave1:

[s]It doesnt make sense or logic for a simple majority to elect him and then 2/3 to impeach.again,what if over 30 senators are absent,it is inconsistent.again,we must look at the original intendment of the drafters.if a quorum or 1/3 is ok start legislative business,then a simple majority should do and undo[/s]

BeijinDossier:
APC is a useless party led by useless people. They have since abandoned Nigerians, all they are concerned now is politics of how to remove Saraki as SP.

Saraki remains our SP. Onwero ife neme.

dlondonbadboy:
SARAKI is unimpeachable...

Ikpewe:
HOW MANY SENETORS VOTED FOR SARAKI TO BECOME THE SP

GOATandYAMtheory:
Bet you, Saraki is scared. He knows he can't escape the impeachment

And i think it's time the APC should stop making whatever plans they have for impeachment of the Kwara looting machine public

Just do it. I don't care how

Dhugal:

Ere you keep confusing yourself, read Section 48 of the Constitution to know what constitutes membership of the Senate.

Metuh:

Dhugal:

57 Senators elected Saraki,an absolute majority of members of the house

dlondonbadboy:


Even if it's illegal? Why do you want SARAKI out as Senate President so badly? Just give only sensible reason!
Will it make you richer? Will it make you wiser? Will it make you taller? Why?

Noblechykk:

Shelumiel:
This noisemaker should focus on the mandate given to him by the people of Ondo.
