Leadership of the Senate is locked in another battle with the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This is as current holders of the majority leadership positions have been told to vacate office for soon-to-be announced replacements.

Indications emerged yesterday that the political solution being worked on by Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Yakubu Dogara is about to be implemented.

Dogara and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Senate met on Tuesday evening at the new wing of the Senate complex.

It was gathered that Saraki had been under pressure to speak to his allies in the Senate, including the Senate Leader, Ali Ndume; his deputy, Bala Ibn Na’allah and the deputy majority whip, Senator Francis Alimikhena, on the need to reconstitute the leadership in line with the party’s wish.

He reportedly made the communication earlier in the week but not without opposition.

However, the expected modification in the hierarchy has been generating different views at the chamber, with associates of those affected accusing Saraki of trying to use and dump them.

On his part, Ndume has said he would not step down, calling for those handling negotiations to come up with another resolution.

Nonetheless, Saraki may any moment from now, name Senator Ahmad Lawan, as the new Senate Leader.

DAILY POST learnt that Saraki, who has been trying to mend fences with the party leadership since his controversial emergence on June 9, has given his word to effect necessary change that would endear him to chieftains.

APC National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun had on June 24 written the Senate President and Speaker, Dogara, listing the names of proposed occupants of the leadership positions in the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Names in the letter were Lawan as majority leader; Professor Sola Adeyeye as chief whip; George Akume as deputy majority leader and Abu Ibrahim as deputy chief whip.

After initial resistance, Dogara did the needful and the House seems to be at peace since then.

However, Saraki’s allies in the Senate named different persons.

He will only confirm Amaechi today not because of his case but to ensure that the party will not be put to shame.

God bless you my brother.

Lawan didn't even win the majority vote in his north east zone, he lost out to Ndume in a free and fair vote. Why should he lead the senate majority when he can't win his zone??
Forcing opinion on senators who were former governors won't take you far.

OnankpaBa:



Says who?

watch and see

Despite that Saraki is having issue at the CCBT, i av the strong feelings that he will remain on that seat for the 4 years.

Sir Don! Saraki can only rule for the 4 years if only he follows the party policy.

Saraki is a betrayal.

Wailers will not like to hear that

OnankpaBa:

You clearly don't know how he selected him.
Saraki called the senators from the north east to vote who they want from their zone to lead the majority since it was zoned to the north east. But Lawan lost by a huge majority to Ndume, so Saraki put him according to the will of the north east zone.
Lawan needs to get more supporters from his fellow senators from his north east zone, before think of being majority for the whole zones.

Yes! but is that the will of the party?

He's a betrayal and he either agreed to the terms and policy of the party or he vacate the seat.

Amaechi is already going thru sreening ooooo

OnankpaBa:

Almost every one in the north east are APC senators, in my opinion a lot of senators are against external influence. No one wants another class to choose their own class prefect. External influence was the trend before when senators were not powerful enough, now most senators are powerful enough to choose who they want, it's a different ball game.

Hmmm

Saraki has been caged, that's why he's rubber stamping all the ministerial nominees.

Hmm

A good leader doesn't put his party before the will of the people...

He's a betrayer... And a criminal... I will agree with you... But his leadership quality is outstanding...
