Femi (5*) before Dogara

9jatriot:
Who then communicated the meeting? I feel Saraki would have still won if APC did not go with a united front since he was always going to have his PDP friends back him up, but why play the treachery card, it simply reduces his person and credibility?

I wonder how someone in Saraki's camp would have pulled such stunt that had Tinubu, Akume, APC governors and APC NWC members waiting for the president. The op is trying to absolve Buhari of calling for the meeting and looking for a fall guy to blame. Saraki would have won, 57>51

His dad former senate president or SENATE LEADER? Op, confirm that

Sorry, Amaechi "Talks" too much to be made SFG. Since he read English, I would prefer he is made Minister of Information, he will do excellently well with that portfolio

where are those guys that were shouting that APC played PDP in that other thread? The truth is coming out already. We await Lai's press conference too

Cc: chamboy, mascot87, kaybams1, walexy30, buhariwillwin etc, what can you say about this press conference?

tuk2ato:
There has been so much misinformation about the number of Senators that comprise the National Assembly even the mainstream media is guilty of this mistake. There 109 Senators, 3 per state making 108 plus 1 senator representing the FCT.

one died. Senator Zanna of Borno state

omenka:
A lot remains to be heard of this entire episode. I'm not putting my eggs anywhere yet until the President speaks.

I don't know, but has anyone spared a thought to imagine perhaps, this was orchestrated by the presidency to ensure the inclusion of the SE in the bigger scheme of things since they would have been totally excluded had the Party's preferred candidate emerged??

Just a hunch though.

"Has the president ever spoken before? " We keep hearing Garba Shehu speak and term it the President speaking . In the last tenure, the SW was never represented and heaven didn't fall. The sooner we know all these positions benefit only the persons occupying them the better for us

Tolexander:
Eight assembly turning to Hate assembly!

PDP members aren't used to being the minority,

APC members aren't used to being the majority.

The drama in this 8th assembly will be more than packing nollywood actors in an auditorium.

You said it all. Bravo!!!!

Joenyam:
And Sen David Mark emerges as the senate leader of the 8th assembly.

PDP just pulled a fast one on APC

serious?!!!!

chamboy:
can u explain Saraki being unopposed

because 51 members plus his main rival Lawan were not there when the election was held, with the numbers that conducted the election, PDP would have nominated David Mark and still win, but they decided to play safe.

gajike:
51 apc senators absent. Only 57 present voted saraki. This shows dat saraki arm twisted tinubu. Absent or not. Saraki is now senate president. Pay back time for what acn did in tambuwal case.

exactly. And some supporters are here shouting that APC played PDP. I wouldn't be surprised if Lai Mohammed comes later today to say bad about the election

mascot87:
The joke is on PDP. Ike Ekwerenmmadu was just selected to get Saraki the slot. NDUMA is next and you people will still cry

dude quit all this APC played Pryor are saying. 57 members were present, Lawan and his supporters were absent, that was the reason only Saraki was nominated. APC was the one that was outplayed. Before the end of the day, we will surely hear what really went down

Brytawon:
Bukola Saraki (APC-Kwara Central) elected
unopposed as President of 8th Senate by 57 of
108 Senators, with 51 Senators, including Sen.
Ahmed Lawan, absent.
The other Senators were at the International
Conference Centre at the time Saraki was
declared President.

wow, just 57? And some people are saying APC played PDP? Nothing we no go hear for nairaland

Aghogho Oboh mentioned something like that this morning on silverbird morning programme

igbizen:
"Though I AM FREE AND BELONG TO NO
MAN, I MAKE MYSELF A SLAVE TO
EVERYONE, to win as many as possible."
-1st Corin. 9:19, NIV
Could this be where our president got the
popular statement: "I BELONG TO
EVERYBODY, AND I BELONG TO NOBODY"?

Cc: lalastica

Princecalm:

sukkot:

But we all celebrate when Nigerians are elected as MPs in UK and Europe

Welrez:
What is govt business with personal matters? Is Kano State under a totalitarianism? Divorce should be as discretive as marriage. One should not be forced to stay in an uncomforting union.

If Government can organize and sponsor MASS WEDDING for her citizens. After receiving the money from government as mass wedding whatever, they turn around and divorce each other and then wait for another roiund of MASS WEDDING to apply . So now government wan wise up
