APC should know that they are not in control of affairs of the nation, I'll tell by lightblazingnow(m): 9:00am On Jun 18, 2017
Most times men think they are in control of everything on earth ignorant of the fact that man has the ability to plan, but only the will of the LORD almighty comes to fruition...

How could APC leadership would have imagined that of all the people pen down for such exalted position, the name Senator Bukola Saraki of All Progressives Congress emerged the Senate President of the eighth Assembly.

Is it because he agreed to work with Ike Ekweremadu of the Peoples Democratic Party as his deputy, or simply playing out divine dictates



Remember Saraki was the Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology while Ekweremadu was the deputy to the immediate past Senate President, David Mark.




Many schools of thought have revealed that the PDP caucus at both the upper and lower houses of the chambers capitalised on the division within APC on who should become the senate president to lure Saraki into their side. Those are men permutations and rational reason of natural beasts... Does it disuse to the fact that it was ordained to be, we are watching...



It will be recalled that the APC had adopted Ahmed Lawan and Geaorge Akume as its senate presidential candidate and deputy presidential candidate respectively at the weekend before the election, a scenario Saraki and his supporters described as undemocratic.



In his protest, Saraki had to seek the assistance of two PDP governors from Southern part of the country who volunteered to bankroll the election for their colleague, the former Governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki.
Another strategy the PDP caucus used was to fill the senate hallow chamber early that morning with Saraki’s supporters while Lawan and his supporters were busy seeking the intervention of President Mohammadu Buhari to appease the aggrieved members of APC. Was it what worked for him to emerge as senate President? Keep guessing



Following the announcement of the Clerk of the House that the eighth assembly would be inaugurated by 9am that morning, the Saraki’s group with the support of the PDP members ensured their presence while the gate was closed against the Lawan’s group.
The Lawan’s group 51 of them were at the International Conference Centre, waiting to resolve the grievances within the two factions at the time Saraki was declared President.



As a matter of fact, as at the time the election was going on, some of the Lawan’s group were seeing rushing into the chamber. However all the 57 present senators unanimously voted for Saraki.





The next question will be, how would APC could have won the election with just 51 members on their side, why Saraki side had 57.. I doubt if they had given it a lot of thoughts​. I will tell you, all these infighting within the APC and its caucuses is the work of the flesh... They are just being mortal men as they are... The lord the most high God Almighty have already chosen the man to fill the gap in the red chamber, why disturbing your minds for a matter which have been settled in heaven and earth....



You know sometimes I wonder why men do not seek God's opinion before they embark on a serious venture... Men affairs are controlled from above.. He remove and installs anyone he wants, there is no questions to why and how because he is the all knowing all understanding and all deepest God Almighty who lives for ever.... One way or the other bukola Saraki would still have emerged​ as the senate President. you should remember that numbers were on his side. And politics is a game of numbers. If you must win any elective positions your vote must exceed that of your opponent..



Let APC forget about the fight to remove Bukola Saraki from his post and concentrate on giving Nigeria and Nigerians the dividends of democratic process and government.

Remember that APC had a running battle during the past Ondo governorship primary election and eventually got along and so why not mend fence with the current crisis.... These were Tinubu words after the APC Ondo Governorship primary election battle...


" According to him, from the party’s inception, the principles of democratic fairness and justice are to guide the APC’s internal deliberations.
He stressed that the party’s founders realized that it was only by fair dealing that the party could remain faithful to the progressive ideals that were presented to the Nigerian electorate as governing creed.
“If the party can not justly govern itself, it will find it difficult to establish and maintain just government throughout the nation,” he said.
The APC leader stressed that before now, the party was the embodiment of a democratic promise made between its members as well as a democratic vow made to the public.



Nigeria needs APC and APC need Nigeria and Nigerians....#freeSarakinow #fulfilmentofchangepromisednigerians@ now

Before his emergence as Senate President, we saw it coming and I described Saraki's Senate as a "pending rouge nation."

Even the office of the presidency can't outsmart Saraki, the only rival to Saraki presently on the political sphere is Sheriff, Saraki would do what ever he wants to do and take a bow when he feels like.

I know the country is "gone", like literally gone in every sense of the word, but at times you cant help admiring a man like Saraki, history would describe him as one of the finest politician Nigeria ever had.

Blessed are those who create opportunities for themselves where there seems to be none.

Yes I dislike Saraki but they didn't write SP or DSP on anybody's head. Anyone can aspire to any post in this country as long as one is qualified.

I think Nigerian youths have a lot to learn from that episode. Stop sitting, waiting for some godfather to give you what you can achieve with your own consistent work.
