The red chamber or (red devils chamber)is one of the most gigantic fustretion the present administration is facing,95% of our representative are all corrupted that is why the do not see any thing good in president Buhari government,may the almighty judge them for us and present us with a well patriot citizens to help the government of the day to fullfill it campaign promises and build a better atmosphear for the country economy.May the almighty God bless Nigeria as a united nation amen. |

All the current senators should be denied the chance to return to the National Assembly. We need to import foreigners to preside over our Government from England. At least they won't be so corrupt. |
Re: 15 Senators That May Not Return To The Senate In 2019 by freshfacts(m): 9:56am On Oct 29, 2017 |
Thanks for the wonderful analysis but I will also like to draw your attention to the fact that No PDP Senator from the South East extraction can make it again to the red chamber.............. Youths of the Region have to take over the mantle of leadership. |

sammitex64:even dino melaye is more vocal than akpabio although he is hypocritical! This particular house traded up their credibility all because they wanted bukola saraki to continue as president. If not that,there are too many impeachable offences going on at the moment. There are many ministers that need to be summoned or investigated by the house. They won't do anything because he that is with sin can never cast the first stone else it comes back crushing him. |

[quote author=akigbemaru post=61862486][/quote]The only that can stop Ekweremadu from returning to the red chamber will be his interest to go for VP by 2019. As for Sullivan going to the senate, that z a wild goose chase. |

Upritman :
@SuanusBlog
Unlike in other countries where legislative business is
one that requires experience gained by uninterrupted
stay at the legislative chambers, Nigeria has been used
to frequent changes of its lawmakers across the three
tiers of government. The reasons may not be far-
fetched from the peculiarity of our political system and
sphere. Except for very few individuals who have
remained in the national assembly since 1999, the
return rate has continued to drop.
Suanu’s Blog hereby x-rays 15 Senators that may most
likely not return to the red chambers in 2019. In no
particular order, they include;
1. Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso: He is the Senator
representing Kano Central Senatorial District and
former Governor of Kano State. Kwankwaso is also the
leader of the socio-political group, Kwankwasiyya
known for their white kaftan and red cap. Sooner after
handing over power to his former deputy as Governor,
Kwankwaso has been in what appears to be an
unending political battle with Gov.Ganduje. With the
current Kano State Govenor controlling the state
chapter of the APC and majority of its delegates,
Kwankwaso may find it difficult to either return to the
Senate or achieve an overwhelming home support for
his rumoured presidential ambition in 2019. It is
unclear if his popularity can still secure him a return
should he defects to another political party to pursue
his political course.
2. Senator Ike Ekweremadu: The Enugu born Lawmaker
is one of the most ranking members of the opposition
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Thanks to the unholy
political romance between his party and the Saraki
Boys of the APC that he benefitted from and launched
himself into retaining his deputy senate presidency
position. This has earned him the hatred of some top
ranking members of the ruling party, many of who will
certainly be plotting against His return to the red
chambers in 2019. Aside that, Ekweremadu’s major
challenge may be coming from the home front in 2019
as there are strong indications that He will be having a
strong opponent to contend with in the 2019 General
Elections. Suanu’s Blog has gathered that a former
governor of the state who hails from the same Enugu
West senatorial district with Dr.Ekweremadu and who
is now a chieftain of the ruling APC have concluded
arrangements to sack him (Ekweremadu) in 2019 and
take his seat in the red chambers. If the plot of the ex-
governor succeeds, then the current Deputy Senate
President may just not make it back to the senate.
3. Shehu Sani: The President of the Civil Rights
Congress of Nigeria turned politician has not been able
to differentiate life as a politician in Nigeria from life as
is required in civil society activism. Sani has left no
stone unturned in criticizing even the fart of Gov.Nasir
Elrufai, though they belong to the same political party.
Many political observers are of the opinion that Sani’s
unending criticism of Elrufai isn’t out of love for Kaduna
People but towards replacing Gov.Elrufai in 2019. But
there are serious fears, Sani may lose the war from
both fronts as he may not smell the Kaduna State
Government House or be able to return to His seat in
the red chambers. This may not be unconnected to a
silent plot by Gov.Elrufai to cut Sani to shape by
ensuring that He doesn’t get the party’s ticket for
reelection in 2019. If this works out, defecting to
another party and contesting therefrom may not secure
the needed success Senator Sani desires to retain his
seat. If the odds turn out entirely against him, then we
may just miss him at the red chambers in 2019.
4. Senator Dino Melaye: No senator today is as
controversial as the senator representing Kogi West
Senatorial District. The former member of the House of
Representatives and acclaimed anti-corruption activist
has continued on his war path with his state governor,
Alhaji Yahaya Bello. A quick way to punish Melaye is
the ongoing plot to recall him that he has consistently
accused his state governor of masterminding. Apart
from the likely secret hand of Gov.Bello in ending
Melaye’s political career, a sizeable number of
Melaye’s constituents appear to be genuinely angry at
his style of representation, and his extravagant and
flamboyant dispositions while they are at constant war
with poverty back home. If Senator Dino survives the
recall plot against him, strong forces against him back
at home will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that
he doesn’t return to the red chamber in 2019 by
denying him a return ticket.
5. Senator Ben Bruce: Known more as a business
magnate, Bruce felt the necessity of the juicy nature of
Nigerian politics and opted to have a taste of it. With
zero popularity in his home state of Bayelsa, the
Twitter Senator had made an unsuccessful attempt to
become the governor of the oil rich in 2011. Bruce
however launched a return to the political scene in
2015 when when he contested for the senatorial seat of
Bayelsa East under the umbrella of the PDP. The
unarguably fact remains that Senator Ben Bruce never
merited that victory right from the primary election (if
any actually took place). He was simply imposed on
the people and benefitted from the known
undemocratic tendencies that characterized the PDP
era. As strange as it was, Ben Bruce was said to have
defeated an immediate ex-former of the state of
Bayelsa. With stories of underperformance,
underrepresentation and accusation of been an Abuja-
based senator, it is unclear if Bruce may return to the
senate in 2019. Especially if the mercenaries of
Gov.Dickson which perfected his victory should
withdraw their arsenal or if the people should revolt
against him and demand for a more people-friendly
representative or perhaps if the opposition party should
bring up a more viable, vibrant and dogged candidate
against Bruce, the tsunami may just push him back to
his Silver bird gallery.
6. Senator Theodore Orji: If not for the pursuit of sheer
greed, the likes of Chief Theodore Orji shouldn’t be
anywhere close to our legislative chambers. Known
best as one of the architects of Abia’s
underdevelopment, Orji currently represents Abia
Central Senatorial District under the PDP. He has been
among the sleeping/dormant gang in the national
assembly with little or no contribution to show for being
there. If His constituents wake up to the reality that
they need a better representation, if he is confronted
with a virile opposition candidate or if the rumoured
rancor between him and his successors lingers, then He
may simply be retired from the red chambers in 2019.
7. Senator Buruji Kashamu: He is an internationally
wanted drug baron and billionaire who in a bid to avoid
arrest and extradition dabbled into politics. He currently
represents the people of Ogun East Senatorial District
in the national assembly. Buruji appears to still enjoy
the massive support of his people despite the illicit
stories that continually trail his person and character.
Thanks to the hunger among his people that
continually pushes them to his residence to line up to
collect cash and rice during every festive period.
Kashamu’s major problem is from his party, the PDP.
He was/is a strong supporter of Sen.Ali Modu Sheriff
who many believed was on a mission to give the PDP a
final burial except for the Supreme Court that saved the
party. After the defeat of Sheriff, some top members of
his party have refused to forgive Kashamu. Even at
that, Kashamu has also refused to give up. He has
shifted the battle to his state chapter of the PDP
securing several injunctions against the position/
decision of his party concerning the state leadership of
the party. If the battle continues, Kashamu may end up
been pushed finally out of the party and thereby will
lose a chance of seeking reelection under the party’s
platform. With some of his men having defected from
the PDP to another party, it is unclear if Kashamu can
still retain his seat at the senate if he decides to join
them any time soon if the heat in the PDP becomes
unbearable for him.
8. Senator Osinakachkwu Ideozu: He is the only
surviving senator from Rivers State on the platform of
the PDP. He is one of the beneficiaries of the Wike
political dynasty in Rivers State which was hatched in
2015. Ideozu just like others benefitted from the
widespread rigging that characterized the 2015 General
Elections in the state. Fortunately for him, he survived
the series of rerun legislative elections and judicial
interpretations that shaped the Rivers State elections.
As the state chapter of the APC consolidates on its
narrow victories and plans to massively take over the
state in 2019, there are indications that Senator Ideozu
may be swept away especially if Gov.Wike fails to
deliver Him.
9. Senator Mao Ohuabunwa: Representing Abia North
Senatorial District, He is one the senators that had a
sustained battle before securing his seat at the red
chambers. Sen.Mao’s major challenge came from a
former governor of Abia State who contested against
him in 2015. While Mao managed to have won at first
attempt, his victory song was got short by the Court of
Appeal which annulled his declaration as winner. He
however narrowly won the rerun election that held on
March 6, 2016. Having defected from the PPA to the
ruling APC, Dr.Uzor Orji Kalu may not have given up on
going to the senate. Considering the lean line between
the votes of Mao and Kalu, add that to the fact that
despite his defection, he still retains majority of his
previous support base and the new support and
advantages that may accrue to him from his new party,
a decision by the Abia billionaire to contest for same
position in 2019 may pose a serious threat to the return
of Senator Mao to the red chamber. Specifically while
Mao scored, 26009 votes to win, Kalu got 25814 (a
difference of just 195 votes) while Bourdex Onuoha
scored 13633 votes. Interestingly, both Bourdex and
Kalu have defected to the ruling APC.
10. Senator David Mark: He is one of the privileged
lawmakers to have endured the red chambers from
1999 till date. The former Senate President was almost
knocked out of the national assembly by a young
vibrant Comrade Dan Onjeh during the 2015 elections.
While Mark’s initial victory was annulled, he reclaimed
his mandate through a rerun election held on February
20, 2016. After the narrow victory that returned him,
Mark has remained deaf and dumb in the national
assembly with some Nigerians referring to him as
Chairman of the Sleeping Committee. If Mark chooses
not to retire in 2019, then there are strong indications
that he may not be that lucky again due to the general
non-performance that is characterizing his current
mandate at the senate.
11. Senator Jonah Jang: This is obviously a member of
the Mark’s sleeping committee who has remained so
dull and dormant at the senate. The former plateau
state governor who is one of the oldest senators
represents Plateau North Senatorial District. He is one
of those ex-governors who see the senate as a
retirement joint to continue to be paid with tax payers’
money for doing nothing absolutely. Being a member of
an opposition party in his state plus his sealed lips and
sleeping eyes at the senate, any strong opponent in the
2019 general elections may ensure Senator Jang
doesn’t return to continue his slumber in the red
chamber again
12. Senator Ali Ndumi: The former Senate Leader who
has been on suspension represents Borno South in the
national assembly. Apart from his legislative
headaches and the recent controversies of landing a
heavy slap on the face of a member of the Borno State
House of Assembly, the embattled lawmaker is not a
peace with his state governor, Kashim Shettima who
Suanu’s Blog gathered is against Ndume’s bid to
succeed him. If the former house of representatives
member does not put his political house in order and
seek reconciliation with those at war with him, they
may use the mercenaries of the party at their disposal
to deny him the elective ticket of the party to seek
reelection into the senate in 2019 or any other political
office he may opt for.
13. Senator Biodun Olujimi: The rugged woman of Ekiti
politics represents Ekiti South in the senate and also
occupies the position of the deputy minority whip. The
former deputy governor of Ekiti State is currently at war
with her former boss and current governor of Ekiti
State, Ayodele Fayose. Suanu’s Blog gathered that
Olujimi’s recent war with Gov.Fayose is due to her
ambition to contest the 2018 governorship election in
which Gov.Fayose has already anointed his current
deputy to be the sole candidate of his party, PDP. With
majority of the party members including delegates
been loyal to Governor Ayodele Fayose, He doesn’t
only have the powers to scuttle the governorship
ambition of Olujimi but to also frustrate her alternative
return to the senate in 2019 for not being loyal to him.
14. Senator Stella Oduah: The former Aviation Minister
known for her multi-million naira scandal represents
Anambra North at the national assembly. She
benefitted from the easy access granted to her on the
platform of the PDP due to her cordial relationship with
ex-president Goodluck Jonathan. However with the exit
of Jonathan and her recent stand against the decision
of the party over the conduct of its governorship
primary election in Anambra State, Ex-Governor Peter
Obi who seems to solely hold the key of the PDP in the
state in His pocket may decide to mobilize his men to
pay her back in 2019 by denying her a return ticket of
the party to the senate.
15. Senator Isah Hamma Misau: If you cannot
remember anything about Sen.Misau, at least you will
remember the ongoing IGPGate. The senator
representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District has
leveled weighty against the Inspector General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris and in the process has indicted others
including Gov.Ambode, CBN Governor, Godwin
Emefiele and even the President’s Wife, Aisha Buhari.
Political sins they say are never forgiven. Considering
the embarrassment that his allegations have caused to
some very high profile persons mentioned in his
ongoing war with the IGP, there are indications that the
affected persons may use the apparatus loyal to them
in the Bauchi State chapter of the All Progressives
Congress, APC to ensure that Sen.Misau is denied a
reelection ticket on the platform of the party.
How these will turn out to be is just to be determined
by the outcome of the 2019 General Elections. The list
above however may not be exclusive.

PrecisionFx: Shut up, that's doesn't justify his sin. This isn't about Yorubas or their culture it's abOut Islam. Islam come first before anything and Allah said we muslims should not give our daughters hand in marriage to none Muslims. Saraki should follow the teaching of Islam for him to be good Muslim. |
Re: 15 Senators That May Not Return To The Senate In 2019 by JikanBaura(m): 10:08pm On Nov 02, 2017 |
2n2k: Now i see where the mistake start from. Saraki Fathers married a Christian and allowed cristian to marry his son. Tho Allah don't forbidden a Muslim from marrying a Christian (it's adviced a Muslim men not to marry a Christian is she hadn't accept Islam) should wait until she accepted his faith. If all Muslim men decided to marry a Christian women then who will marries our Muslim sisters (Allah does not forbid it but it's doesn't mean we should do it) You need to wake up because this is modern time Saraki had tarnished his reputation in North Nigeria. True Muslims Yoruba,hausa or igbos will not support his act. He shouldn't have given his daughter hands in marriage to a Christian (Cuz its forbidden by Allah) Back to politics .. To start with Bokola Saraki isn't relevant In Northern politics. maybe only in Kwara state Honestly we northerners we don't sees him as relevant he got where he is by chance and he won't last their had he played his card right maybe we might start to think of him as a potential president. North doesn't even think of him thus this drama had made him a little bit popular it did in wrong way. Now the Talakawas knows him as as illiterate muslim who isn't Cancencious (fit) To be our leader. |

JikanBaura: Islam doesn't come first in anything, Islam is a borrowed religion brought to nigeria thru jihad. A mans culture religion n traditions comes first before any other thing. Like I said before, yorubas are not hard core religious bigots, they accept religion as it comes. |
