The governing All Progressives Congress,APC, has nominated Senators Ahmed Lawan from Yobe and George Akume from Benue State to run as the party’s candidates for the office of Senate President and Deputy Senate President respectively in Tuesday’s election at the National Assembly.
In an election held at the International Conference Centre Abuja Saturday night, Mr. Lawan scored 32 votes, while Akume got 31 to emerge as Deputy Senate president.

Two votes were declared invalid.
The APC has 59 Senators in the 109- member Senate.
Announcing the result, the returning officer of the election, Mala Buni, who is the APC’s national secretary, said by the result, Messrs Lawan and Akume are now the recognised candidates of the APC for the office of Senate president and Deputy respectively. Senators loyal to another candidate, Bukola Saraki, boycotted the election.

Tinubu is a master strategist..........a modern day Machiavelli. I hail o Jagaban!

APC simply does it best.

Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu successfully install Buhari/Osinbajo as president and vice president

Now installing Ahmed Lawan, George Akume and Femi gbajabiamila as national assembly leaders

Guess Where next?

Voting in Progress!

Everything settles on Tuesday. All these na mirage.

If bukola saraki had a chance of becoming Senate President yesterday, his opponents just killed it with emergence of femi gbaja masterstroke!

Counting now going on!

D

Nigeria is now all about APC this APC that,before it was all about PDP...
Same old shi*t different air refresher...
I am fed up!!!

Clerverly:

Oponu!

Is dat ya father's name?

I just like d way APC is dealing with those folks who left PDP. First it was Kwakwanso that was denied d presidential ticket, then Amaechi lost out in Rivers State. Now Bukola Saaraki has lost the senate president bid. Next to lose the SSG is Amaechi. Am just too happy how PDP stayed out and d decampees to carry their cross. Hit like if u want Lawan, click share if u want Bukola Saraki. For me Lawan is better.

Is that Senator-elect Kwankwaso I see there? Ah, it’s going to be a tough one for Saraki then! The PDP Senators are divided though, some are for Saraki and a few for Lawan so it’s still dicey -too close to call but if Gbaja gets it in the House on Tuesday, Saraki won’t fly. Let’s see which of the chambers seats first on Tuesday -wish they start seating at same time -the usual 10am.

I would prefer a situation where the two houses start the process at the same time.

It's gonna be the Senate first. I could remember I sneaked out of somewhere to watch the inauguration/election to saw Tambuwal in, in 2011.

I'm not sure it can be done that way. I guess the Clerk to the National Assembly must be present during the duo!

Gbaja is a sure bet; Lawan is dicey.

It has ended! And Lawan has it! Congratulations!!

Lawan should not celebrate yet.

If Saraki is still running with Ali Ndume, he is more likely to lose than win. However, if he is running with a prominent PDP senator from South East, he is more likely to win than lose.
