Can Chimaroke Nnamani Become Minority Leader In The 8th Senate? by egift(m): 6:34pm On Oct 12, 2015 |
As the National Assembly Election Tribunal sitting in Enugu State has sacked Senator Gilbert Nnaji representing Enugu East District in favour of Chimaroke Nnamani of the PDC - Can he (Chimaroke) become the new Senate Minority Leader? My understanding is that the post is reserved for the party with the least number of representatives in the House. If remotely possible, I did prefer he stick to his PDC and not decamp to either APC or PDP. That way Akpabio will not have any other reason to be speeding here and there - having accidents anyhow.

Chimaroke Nnamani is not yet a Senator let alone a senate minority leader!! He can only become a senator when the appeal court affirms the judgement of the tribunal!!! BTW the position of the senate minority leader is not vacant 1 Like |

With the new Senate rule however any new senator can hold principal position,however even if the appeal court affirms the tribunal ruling and Akpabio's position suddenly becomes vacant(simple imagination impossible in reality) the PDC alone cannot become minority leaader except he has the backing of the majority of PDP senators |

chukwudi44: 1. Chimaroke will be Senator. This one happened in my backyard. Sullivan single-handedly muscled the outcome. People massively voted for Chimaroke (even in Nnaji's polling unit), just to spite him. Don't forget the protest and the teargassing of Nnamani himself. People were voting while PDP had the results they want. 2. I want to know if the Minority Leader's post is dependent on the Minority Party OR on the voting of other Senators? I was thinking the minory party are the ones to vote among themselves. Just like APC Senators had no say on the emergence of Akpabio. 3. With Akpabio emerging despite being a first-time, then the PDP have indirectly created a partway for him. 1 Like |

Lol where did u et such a tale from... Minority/(Majority)leader is squarely a party affair, therefore the leader of the opposition which means that, the Party with the Second largest member (PDP) should ideally produce the Minority Leader. However if other Opposition parties have almost equal strength then they may need to form a coalition to produce Minority Leader. |

egift:Until then!!! Btw even if chimaroke wins at the appeal court, the minority leader's seat would not be vacant!! The minority parties refers to other parties other than the majority. We had LP,APGA,in the last HOR yet Femi Gbajabiamila of the ACN became minority leader!!! |

Your premise, I think, is wrong,. Its a common legislative knowledge that the party with the second highest vote becomes the leader of opposition (minority leader) that was why Awolowo became leader of opposition in 1960. When Npc nd Ncnc had coalition. He cant get any post safe for committee chairman. Thats good for democraxy. Up PDC |

PDP will produce minority leader. A party with only 1 member can be minority leader naa |

Though I support PDP but I must say that the party goofed in Enugu state when they chooses Gil Nnaji over Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani as senator representing Enugu East senatorial zone. Nwa Nnamani is a man of the people and Enugu East people and the entire Nkanu land are solidly behind him . Chima, you are already there! I jebe goooooooooooooo! |

A day ibos make sense,I promise to quit Nairaland.In my life I never see a day dreamers like ibos.Do you thing GEJ and Uche scondus trust you.The highest office that opposition PDP and co can offer you is attack dog which your son metuh is doing perfectly well.House of reps and senate minority leaders are all SS,acting chairman is SS,chairman PDP membership revalidation (Raymond dekpson) is SS and the presidential ticket is zone to the North. Last week I was listening to Phone in program on PMB ministers, An IBO that is always criticism of PMB called just to confirm whether PMB will give minister of health to Christ ngege and minister of Power onu |
