Yes

It will take a major miracle for ndume to emerge today as Senate President.Saraki had support from many APC govs,senators and PDP block support to emerge as Senate President.

Only few senators clapped for Ali Ndume. I think the executive stooge is winning this

Time for voting

By the clapping and endorsement by the distinguish senators after the both nominated senators speech, i think we all know where we are heading....

Thank you.based on the nominations all apc will vote lawan while all pdp are for ndume

senatordave1:

How many clapped for him

Those clapping didnt clap according to what was said. We should rate their speech by the substance and not the claps.

True

Lawan has already won based on clapping.

Chubhie:
How did i miss that?

The list was called state by state.

Voting commences with Orji. open secret ballot.

I still don't understand why the pdp could not present Ekuremandu and a dsp from the apc.

lolz...they will lose ..simple... 2015 was a blip that won't be allowed again.. even PDP knows that!!

Nigeria constitution as amended 2011 is being floored once again and have decided to follow the senate rules. I think this act is an abberation to the rule of law. What is the need for amendment in the first place?

This keeps losing sound!

senatordave1:
Sorry,lawan has this by judging from ovation

Well its left to be seen

Chubhie:

Quality over quantity. Ndume has substance unlike lawan who seems lost.

You are judging based on mere speech? You can easily be swayed and deceived

If i am not mistaken, the difference btw both parties is just 8, that's a very small number if they play their game right

I understand the horse trading behind the scenes. But that shouldn't be to the detriment of turning the senate into a rubber stamp for the executive. Alas, thats where we are all heading to.

Oga,lawan is the next sp.you can have numb in your state

maybe..but what guarantees do you have that even PDP members won't vote against ekweremadu...look politics is about self interest not party... everybody looks after himself first!!

Even though I don't like Lawn, I want him to win so that Buhari will have any excuse that the national assembly is not allowing him to fix Nigeria.

saraki that was not rubber stamped,how did that help the common man...look this people look after themselves first before anything

You have a point but they should have given it a try

Same lawan that swore he would make Buhari a life president? I should be scared by now. As a neutral, we all want at least a senate that pretends or refuses to be a rubber stamp to life president buhari.

Hey 62 APC, 44 PDP. How is that 8 the difference?

judecares1:
the only way to deal with buhari d 2nd time is by electing strong senate president like Saraki

Dealing with Buhari or Nigeria?

You are definitely mistaken I believe it is close to twelve

59 to 47 due to recent events in Zamfara.
