bushdoc9919:


Well...the Senate President traditionally has come from the ruling party.

Not ruling party per se, but from the party with the house majority which in this case is the APC.

That awkward moment when you go to Ojuelegba and no one has heard of
Wizkid's story

Exactly....thank you.

Idrismusty97:
Ehya...Ndo

Ngige will never enter that senate again. Never. Someone that could not manage as a senator wants to be the senate president? He should go and use one of his VIP toilets.

A

let there be peace.

babajero:
This country still have a very long way to go.

Tels you

efilefun:
Time has thought me:
YOU NEED CHALLENGE TO FIGHT FOR SUCCESS.
YOU NEED FRIENDS WITH VISION TO BE A SUCCESS.
YOU NEED MORE ENEMY TO REMAIN SUCCESSFUL.
YOU NEED GOD TO RETAIN "SUCCESSFULNESS".


May God Almighty Lead Nigeria to greater heights and put those wishing this administration would fail into shame.

No offence bro, but what has prayers and prophesy got to do with this?

This paragraph made me turning twice on ma bed

As the race for the position begins, Senators Bukola Saraki, Kwara Central; Senator George Akume from Benue; Senator Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa State; Senator Danjuma Goje of Gombe State; Senator Ali Ndume from Borno State, among others are said to be interested in occupying the position of Senate President.
[size=13pt]Only one or two of the candidates jostling for the Senate President had no case with the EFCC. One even has a Boko Haram related case in court[/size].

satelliteDISH:
I think d position should go to d south-east to compensate for the suden death of former senate prbsident Okadigbo.

Mr man if u no get better contribution Abeg go sleep..too early for dis ur mumu contribution..okadigbo ko okababa ni..

Keneking:
Ok..

Contestants: A. Senators Bukola Saraki, Kwara Central: case with EFCC

B. Senator George Akume from Benue: clean and looks like a potential candidate

C. Senator Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa State : I think clean

D. Senator Danjuma Goje of Gombe State: case with EFCC

E. Senator Ali Ndume from Borno State : case with Boko Haram

Therefore contestant B might get the position.

pls don't disturb sai baba, Senate president stuff. let go to benue for god sake to render mark useless.

GMB I de your back.

The post of the senate president should be given to someone from Sad-East so as to help them destroy this country the more in order to be able to build their own Biafra.

. George Akume

theV0ice:
Of course GMB would not want to interfere. If only Nigeria was a sane country, why should a president bother himself with who gets what? What is important should be getting the job done.

Let them handle themselves and may the best candidate win

God bless u!

. So mark is your own issue

We will not rest again because of Buhari this and Buhari that. The APC won the Presidency on the altar of propaganda. They are yet to discover it takes more than propaganda to sustain a government.


A look at Buhari's transition committee members will show you how he intends to fight corruption and zero tolerance for corrupt persons. Timipre Sylva, Baba Gana kingibe and Co are the new face of anti - corruption and #change.

Buhari, like GEJ has refused to understand that his victory at the polls is a pan - Nigerian victory and not that of his people. Like GEJ, he'd allow his people mess him up at the end of the day. But, unlike GEJ, he'd go down like Mohammed Morsi of Egypt.

Nigerians are energised and charged for him. He is yet to realise.

this is not a news report but the speculative work of a lazy writer.

Then simply provide a senator from the new rulling party from that zone.
Ppl read but cant even understand what they are reading!

Non existent VIP toilets that costs 17 million and numerous dead transformers

Owoloku1:
Must the Senate president come from the APC?

What we want is capable hands and if there is one from other parties then he should get the position...plus he'll even be eager to perform just to show Nigerians that his party is credible as well as not allow the APC use him as a scape goat...

I believe it's time we begin putting our leaders and those who occupy public offices under pressure because only then can we experience true change and move our beloved nation forward

You made some sense and a lot of non-sense in wat u said
Why didnt the PDP give dat possition to d opposition as there were more credible senators dan David Mark who even stole a mandate

Lekmusic:
As the 7th Senate winds up ahead of the inauguration of the 8th Senate on June 4, the upper legislative chambers is at the moment caught up in a high-level of intrigues, horse-trading and lobbying, backstabbing, in a bid to outwit one another or zone on who becomes the next president of the Senate.

However, this was even as facts have emerged that the President- elect, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, rtd, is not willing to support any Senator or member of the House of Representatives who has had or still has any corruption case or matter with the anti-corruption agencies or police for the leadership position in the National Assembly.
Also President Goodluck Jonathan and the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari met Friday in the Villa.

President GoodLUCK Jonathan, President Elect General Muhammadu Buhari accompanoied by the APC National Chairman Chief John Odigie Oyegun at the President. APR 25 2015
Buhari, it was gathered is said to be uncomfortable with most of the aspirants currently fighting for the National Assembly, as they have one case or the other to answer with the anti- corruption agencies especially the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Apart from corruption, the president-elect was also said not be interested in working with those alleged to have links with insurgents like Boko Haram.

It was not known which zone would produce the Senate Presidency but sources said yesterday in Abuja that the Senator Bola Tinubu bloc in the All Progressives Congress, APC, was allegedly working to ensure that the former governor of Benue State, Senator George Akume, emerged. The party had already zoned the position to North Central.

The search for who heads the Senate would have been sealed if Senator Chris Ngige from Anambra State had won the election as the position would have just gone to South East geo- political zone of the country without any stress.

Saturday Vanguard gathered that the Tinubu group was backing Akume for the singular reason that the former governor of Benue State is the oldest in the opposition camp who came to the Senate on the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, thereby making the party popular in his area.

The North East geopolitical zone of the country also angled for the position of the Senate President saying that such position would placate them after Boko Haram insurgency ravaged the zone. The zone also argued that it produced the second highest number of votes after the North West, for the APC, adding that with this singular contribution to the success of the party, the position of Senate President should go to them. But they have to succumb to party decision Thursday morning that zoned the seat to North Central. .

As the race for the position begins, Senators Bukola Saraki, Kwara Central; Senator George Akume from Benue; Senator Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa State; Senator Danjuma Goje of Gombe State; Senator Ali Ndume from Borno State, among others are said to be interested in occupying the position of Senate President.
Only one or two of the candidates jostling for the Senate President had no case with the EFCC. One even has a Boko Haram related case in court.

It was learnt that Buhari would want to respect the independence of the National Assembly. However, he would not want to support any one who has had a graft case in order to enable him have a clean break from the past and pursue his anti- corruption stance to the letter.
“The President-elect respects the rule of law and would not want to meddle into the politics of the National Assembly but he is not comfortable with any one who has or has had a corruption case being the Senate President,” a top party source said Friday.
Interestingly, of all the aspirants into the Senate Presidency, one of the two said to be very transparent has questions about his social life.

The aspirant was said to have a lot of things going in his favour except his drinking habit, even as he was alleged to have undergone some transformation in his behaviour and thus could prove his critics wrong.
Those working for this particular aspirant told Saturday Vanguard that ‘’a personal habit which may affect an individual character is better and manageable than an alleged corrupt person.’’
The change in the position of the Senate President and other leadership positions had became imminent following the woeful defeat of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, by the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC.

To burst your bubble, democracy is a game of numbers.

He (RIP) himself would turn in his grave if he were to read this. Retard.

That GMB even brings up questions that touch on moral character of "leaders-to-be" is a significant development.
Certain positions are hallowed. That anyone can aspire to such does not necessarily mean that they are morally eligible to contest such.
This is good.

The constitution guarantees the independence of the legislature, he doesn't need to support and should have no power to decide who emerges Senate President; he only needs to be able to work with amicably without compromising his own position regardless of whoever the senate put forward.
