No be so my brother. Imagine what is happening in the house and if it continues, who will approve the ministerial list then. I just don't want us to put the government in unnecessary pressure so as not to ground it.

presido1:
So no need for ministers then.

Why will ministerial appointments ground the government when we have the Permanent Secretaries still working in the ministries. Even the so called Ministers depends on this Perm Secs before embarking on any project or decision making. Abeg let them leave story and present more useful write ups that will bring development to the nation rather than embark on witch hunting this government for their selfish reasons know to them.

9jatatafo:
Your grammar has a strong bone in it!!! Unnecessary false alarm?!!! WAEC please help.

Forwetinnah:
There's everything wrong with the letter...candidates should go through due process to get their positions, there should be an electoral process

If this report is true, then we need to retrieve our stolen money from the past administration. PMB should push aside politics and probe, jail and use whatever means to get bring back our money. #PMBBringBackOurMoney !!!!

Whynotthetruth:
Can you explain the bolded plzzz?

Again, this people should remember that one day the monkey will go to the market and not return. Imagine another wasted long holiday which they will get paid for doing nothing. The masses will respond at the right time!!!

And what is wrong with the letter. Did Oyegun kill any body of stole from the country's treasury. Abeg the OPS should not raise unnecessary false alarm. However, very APC will pay Saraki back with his own coins. Time will tell !!!!

Wicked Wike all this is story for the gods. We all know why you are witch hunting the man is because he is smarter than you and Madam Shepopotemus. Shekena !!!

Good development and bad news for Tanoids that always calls the VP a mere commissioner. Imagine the Northern leaders discussing with Osinbajo with keen interest and seriousness. Na God win. !!!

I think corruption is fighting back here. And this might affect the fight against this government if care is not taken. !!!!

Breaking News - Senate President SaraKi Announced Senator Ndume as Senate Leader.

Senator Ndume Defeats Senator Lawan In Mock Senate Leader Election
Efforts to resolve the crisis over the choice of principal officers of All Progressives Congress, APC, ran into a stalemate yesterday night, even as Senator Ali Ndume defeated Senator Ahmad Lawan in a mock poll.

At the end of marathon meetings, party members from the North-East caucus of the party insisted on pushing forward their choice of Senator Ndume over the party’s preferred Senator Lawan as Senate Leader, which was zoned to the North-East.
The insistence of APC North-East senators was despite efforts, including an intervention by the immediate past President of the Senate, David Mark, to break the logjam in the ruling party, which had seen senators aligned to Senate President Bukola Saraki reject the party’s list of candidates for the four principal offices on offer to the party.
Vanguard gathered that a list of the names of four senators chosen by the party, which had been with the Senate President, would have been announced alongside that of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senators today, but for the last minute rejection of Lawan by APC North-East caucus.

Principal Offices

APC, being the party with majority senators in the Red Chamber, is expected to produce Majority Leader, Deputy Majority Leader, Chief Whip and Deputy Chief Whip while the opposition PDP on the other hand, would produce Minority Leader, Deputy Minority Leader, Minority Whip and Deputy Minority Whip.

At a mock poll conducted by senators of the North-East APC fold, Senator Ndume, representing Borno South, led Lawan, APC, Yobe North, with nine votes to two.

Mock poll fall-out

Ahmad Lawan

However, the poll was quickly dismissed by Lawan who said he was not part of it as he had no knowledge of the purported exercise.
The strong insistence by Senators Lawan and George Akume, who were not at the mock poll, not to recognise the outcome of the exercise and subsequent protest by his supporters against it, as well as reported personal phone call to Saraki by Senator Mark to handle the situation with caution, forced Senator Saraki, to immediately convene another meeting of APC senators.

Also at the mock election earlier, Senator representing Osun Central Senatorial District, Professor Olusola Adeyeye, was unanimously endorsed by the South-West caucus of APC in the Red Chamber as the Chief Whip of the eighth Senate.

The need to have a senator from the South-South geopolitical zone among the principal officers had also led to the emergence of the Senator representing Edo North, Francis Alimikhena, as the Deputy Whip, during the mock poll.

His emergence was against the view of APC national leadership, which had initially nominated the senator representing Katsina South, Abu Ibrahim, as Deputy whip.

Vanguard gathered that it was resolved at an enlarged meeting with the governors, Monday night, that the only senator from the South-South should have the position.

Abu Ibrahim’s emergence as Deputy Whip would have automatically disenfranchised the South-South geo-political zone from having a representative in the senate leadership.

Adeyeye’s name was on the list of principal officers approved by APC leadership as contained in a letter addressed to the Senate President and signed by the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Tuesday.

North-East caucus

Vanguard gathered that 11 out of the 13 senators from the North-East, during their caucus meeting, voted in favour of Senator Ali Ndume as the Senate Leader.

The party had zoned the position to the North-East, but named Senator Lawan who lost out in the race for Senate President as its preferred candidate.
Also, the party’s choice for the post of Deputy Senate Leader, Senator George Akume, was said to have been rejected by the North-Central caucus of the party, who claimed that since one of them had emerged as the Senate President, it would be fair and just to allow another zone take up the position.
Consequently, the North-West caucus also met, yesterday, and endorsed the candidature of Senator Ahmed Sani-Yerima, APC, Zamfara West, as the Deputy Leader.

‘Am not aware of any election’

When contacted, Lawan, dissociated himself from the election conducted by the North-East caucus, stressing that he would align himself with the position of the party.

He said: “I am not aware of any election. The party had spoken, it is now left for the Senate President to make the announcement.”

Earlier, at the floor of the Senate during plenary session, the move by leadership of APC to nominate party men for the remaining four leadership positions of the Senate meant for the party was rebuffed by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun had on Monday, June 22, after series of meetings with the entire 59 APC senators in the senate, forwarded a written letter to the Senate President, in which Senators Ahmad Lawan, Yobe North, was nominated to be given the position of Senate Leader, while George Akume, Benue North-West, was recommended for the post of Deputy Senate Leader.

Others were Senator Olushola Adeyeye, Osun Central, nominated for Chief Whip and Abu Ibrahim, Katsina South, as Deputy Chief Whip.

Another sign of past administration exposed, imagine if GEJ was still in power this culprit would have continued and get away with this illegality since the government was not interested in the welfare of the masses !!!!

So what would have been the faith of this man if GEJ had continued to rule. Because from the report, this case was reported in 2014 and nothing was done until PMB came into power. Thank God GEJ did not return.!!!

This allegation should be carefully look into because the same military perpetuate this same act on civilians in war free environment a good example is on the road. Which is one of the reason why i support PMB's move to take them back to the barracks in the first place. However, the probe should be carried out devoid of any form of bias, sentiment and rule of law since it involves civilians.
