APC members please read this and see if PDP should still be
senate vice president from the Nation news paper:
“Although the tradition in the Nigerian Senate concedes
much power to the Senate President, it is indeed the Deputy
Senate President that directly interacts and controls the day
to day activities of the Senate.
” Some of the functions of the office include:
•Regularly presiding over the plenary session of Senate
especially during those times the Senate President may be
away attending to other functions. This could afford him and
his party the opportunity to frustrate the good intentions of
our government.
•The Deputy Senate President is chairman of Constitution
Review Committee, which conducts the exercise of carrying
out fundamental changes in our Supreme Law. This position
may give him and his party, the PDP the opportunity to
frustrate necessary and vital constitutional amendments in
the course of this administration.
•By legislative convention, the Deputy Senate President
collects and supervises the final budget documents in the
preparation of the Appropriation Bill. This is the most
important piece of legislation in the realization of our party’s
manifesto which must not be left in the hands of the
opposition party.
•The Deputy Senate President is statutorily the chairman of
the Governing Council of the National Institute of Leguslative
Studies (NILS). This institution is charged with the
responsibility of building capacity for our legislators and
their supporting staff.
•The Deputy Senate President also represents the Nigerian
Legislature at the ECOWAS Parliament as Speaker. It is
certainly a misnomer for a government to be represented at
the international level by someone outside our party.
•And many other functions that might be assigned him by
the President of the Senate.
“With the above functions of the Deputy Senate President,
we feel extremely concerned about implications of a PDP
Senator occupying this exalted position at this time when
Nigerians have voted for change.”

Cry all u want, Ekweremadu is there to stay....that's what a party suffers when it is built on individual interests

In Ekweremadu we trust

The Deputy Senate President should help us to divide this Zoo.

he actually cant cos of his personal interest

hahahahaha....Ekweremadu giving APC heart attack since he emerged DSP..okay oh i agree, mods fp

APC=CPC+ACN+ANPP+APGA+nPDP

Normal, the PDP in nPDP is entitled to the DSP. Only that politic has just began. Ekweremadu remains our DSP until otherwise determined.

this thread will just give APC supporters more heart problems

So who's fault was it that APC senator Elect were not present to make sure they occupied the seat of the DSP as was expected.

PDP saw a loophole and opportunity where they took advantage. Politics is a game, and in games, when ur opponents makes a silly mistake, you take advantantage.

Organising a meeting at the time they were suppose to be in the chambers for the election of principal officers was rather naïve and silly, especially when the president had not written to the clark to stay proceedings.

Now you are complaining about the functions of the DSP because he does not belong to the ruling party. APC wanted the 8senate and Nigerians to wait for them to solve internal problems at their own pace, which is what we are seeing now with the ministerial list and other appointments.

Nothing dey pa
