The result of the Senate Presidency election shows that at least 17 Peoples Democratic Party lawmakers voted for Senate President Ahmed Lawan in disregard of the directive of the PDP leadership that Ali Ndume should be elected as Senate President.

The All Progressives Congress has 62 lawmakers while the opposition PDP has 44 and Young Democratic Party has one.

Two senatorial seats of Imo State remain vacant.

However, Lawan polled 79 votes while Ndume scored only 28 votes.

Lawan had during his campaign met with some of his colleagues in the PDP and negotiated with them.

I thought Oshoomoale said they don't need the support of PDP lawmakers.

The best should win

Can PDP get same 17 votes from APC to pull Ekweremadu through?

The number will be more than 17 because for sure

some APC Senators voted for Lawan.

$10,000 no be beans

Why do you think that every APC member voted for Lawan? This is too simplistic.
Oshiomole didn't know that the senate works by horse trading and consensus once they get into the chambers.
It's posible that all PDP members voted for Lawan and many APC members voted for Ndume.
That's the beauty of democracy

Wow

bloody betrayers

Nice one. Thumbs up to the 9th Senate.

Oga beke, it's open ballot and live on TV. Stop your blind assumptions. You don't have TV or generator or electricity. Watch the voting on YouTube and show me APC senator that vote for Ndume.

WRONG ANALYSIS


PDP MEMBERS THAT VOTED FOR LAWAN WAS MORE THAN 17...AFTER THE DSP ELECTION , I WILL LET U KNW THE FIGURES

Splashme:
The number will be more than 17 because for sure

some APC Senators voted for Lawan.

You are very right

Wrong assumption. Some APC members can be part of the 28 votes casted for Ndume.
The right word should have been "not less than 17 PDP Lawmakers supported Lawan".

Your "mourning" is just breaking. You'll cry, ehn!

PDPs are always bunch of betrayals, they love bribe more than their lives.
