Saraki To APC Senators: You Cannot Remove Ekweremadu by Nobody: 3:56pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
Senate president, Bukola Saraki, has reportedly blocked attempts by his colleagues to challenge the emergence of senator Ike Ekweremadu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This action was taken by Saraki during the plenary session of Wednesday after senator Kabiru Marafa, one of the leading supporters of Ahmed Lawan had raised a point of order where he observed that the election of Ekweremadu was in breach of the senate’s standing rules. Marafa noted that senate rules, as passed in 2011 indicates that an election into any of the presiding offices in the red chamber shall be by division whereby senators supporting one candidate will be on one side, as those supporting another candidate will be on the other side, and not by secret ballot when two contestants are vying for any of the positions. But the senator is arguing that the election that brought Ekweremadu into office was contrary to the provisions of the rules and demanded an explanation from the president on when the rules were amended. Saraki swiftly ruled him out of order, while also citing the senate rules that if a matter on presiding officer’s election has been decided, there can be no further inquiry into it. PM News reports revealed that although Ekweremadu was elected on the platform minority PDP, he took advantage of the absence of members of majority All Progressives Congress (APC) to emerge as the deputy senate president when the 8th National Assembly was inaugurated on June 9. The senate president, it was suggested, ceded the position of the deputy senate president to the opposition in a bid to garner the total support of the PDP members of the Senate when his party refused to support his bid to lead the upper chamber. Saraki reportedly rejected attempts by an APC senator to read letters sent by some leaders of the party on the floor of the house, as he quickly ruled it out of order. http://www.naij.com/471017-saraki-to-apc-senators-you-cannot-remove-ekweremadu.html |

Saraki again! Saraki should rest assured that , in his reign as senate president, he has forsaken the option of sleeping with both eyes closed; no leader survives with majority of members from his/her own immediate constituent(party in this case) standing in opposition to your leadership. Eteh with over 50% of the house in her support then, lost out when less than 40% of the house stood for her resignation. Saraki might not spend 2 days on that seat. |

Saraki should start carrying the mace to wherever he's going including the toilet because the Apc senators will strike one day & he'll become ordinary member. There will be no peace of mind for him |

Caseless:This is July 07 ... he has spent more than two days and na so U go dey look till he spend am reach 2019. Saraki knows he is not gonna sleep for the next four years and he has not been sleeping since the last 12 years . That is why he could become the Senate President over some guys and their leaders who went to sleep and watch Television in ICC. Pikin wey talk say ihm mama no go sleep ni , ihm self shall never see rest ..... |

Bukola,whose side are you on? With Saraki's kind of attitude,I don't need a friend. |
Re: Saraki To APC Senators: You Cannot Remove Ekweremadu by stebell(m): 6:04am On Jul 07, 2015 |
Thank goodness @ Saraki for that. Sen. Ike Ekweremadu didn't put himself there. He was elected by his colleagues in the senate. If that Tinubu layalist cum group feels he shudnt be there, then, they shud try and impeach him if they hav the numbers to do so. Yeye D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ smell. In Saraki we trust. In PDP we believe. |
