Not so sir. It takes 2/3 of 109 Senators to pass any bill or Government proposal. 2/3 of 109 is I think 72. Buhari will still need the agreement of PDP to pass his bills into law.
Please read section 56 sub section 2 of our constitution

Yeah, osho is chairman and i believe he will try to share the post well.
it is time senate president goes ss or se, we have a nw president and sw v.p, we need to balance it with a ss or se sp and a north east deputy sp. femi can replace dogara or it goes to the north central.
Just remember next time when you decide to block vote know the advantage and the disadvantage.politics is about interest not emotion.
SP = Ahmed lawan
DSP = omo agege
Majority leader= Remi tinubu
Dep leader = any north central
Speaker = femi gbaja
Dep speaker = nah fight.

Guy. Senate majority leader and speaker of house of representatives can't come from the same state.
They will drag it with tinubu.

If jagaban insist on Femi as speaker.

Then Senate majority leader should be given to any of these senators.

Teslim folarin who is a former majority leader.
Abdulfatai buhari
Bunmi Adetunmbi
Ajayi borrofice.

All other senators from Southwest are new comers.

Actually only SE did bloc voting and even at that abia, imo and even ebonyi gave buhari over 25%, SS didnt block vote, edo, delta, rivers gave between 45-30% if they had given block votes the difference between pdp and apc would have been less than 1 mil-200,000 and atiku will have a good case in court.

Besides, election has been won it is time to carry the whole country along not to start playing the stupid politics of 95 vs 5%. If apc plays that kind of politics they will fracture the country along ethnic line.

That is why i still maintain that a core northerner cant be SP, it will be a imbalance of power and that is the perfect recipie for agitation and shouts of maginalisation.
