APC, PDP Factions Form Alliance To Produce Senate President by vicostyle20: 4:55pm On Apr 25, 2015
The PDP factions in the two chambers of the National Assembly are reportedly forming an alliance with some aggrieved APC members to produce a speaker and a senate president.



It has emerged that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is planning to capitalise on the failure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to reach a consensus on the zoning of key offices in the incoming administration.

Some APC members, had, in a crucial meeting in Abuja on Thursday, April 23, disagreed on the zoning of the Senate President seat to the North-Central and Deputy Senate President to the North-East, as recommended by the party’s National Working Committee.

Reports say the PDP factions in the two chambers of theNational Assembly are forming an alliance with the aggrieved APC members to produce a speaker and a senate president different from candidates approved by the APC.

At the APC meeting, the office of the deputy speaker was reportedly zoned to the South-South.
A member of the alliance who spoke to journalists anonymously said the caucus will ensure that holders of the offices are not choices of the APC leaders.

“Although we are not disputing the fact that the APC should produce leaders of the National Assembly, we will ensure that those who will emerge are people we prefer, not the choices of the APC leaders.

“By doing that, we will snatch the control of the National Assembly from them, just as the APC controlled the House through Aminu Tambuwal,” the source said.

However, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had in a statement earlier this week dismissed the reports of disagreement in the party over zoning of offices. He described the claims as ‘products of hyperactive rumour mills’.

Good development. The National House of Assembly should be free from Tinubu's stranglehold. This development will loosen Tinubu's grip on the upper chamber thereby allowing the senators perform their legislative duties as appropriate.

Seems understanding a few lines of text is a herculean task for you, so let me summarize the point you are most interested in.

His rebuttal is irrelevant here because it's the senators-elect that's making this statement/plan and not the APC leadership.

Tinubu's only ace in this new arrangement is to control the house to check Buhari.

Once this new govt is sworn in, we will see strange faces close to Buhari and they won't be Tinubu's men but that of Buhari's from the core north.

Tinubu is hoping on Akume a fellow drunk. But Akume lacks the carriage and clouth and being a Benue and Christian I don't see how he can control the northern muslims who will be staunch and blind Buhari supporters. David Mark's military background and air of consensus gave him the much deserved support and authority from the Senate.

The northerners are vieing for Saraki who they see as more or less a northerner like themselves with little or no links with Tinubu. Tinubu on the other hand sees Saraki as becoming too powerful and politically relevant given his links to both the north, middle belt and southwest.

Tinubu being a very cunning and smart man knows the only 2 politically relevant offices to emerge come may 29 is that of the President and Senate President. As things stand now, the only thing Tinubu has is the ceremonial slot of VP currently occupied by his manservant puppet, Osinbanjo.

Tinubu no go gree oh

It would be the best thing for Nigeria's democracy if PDP is able to pull this off. We need a very very strong opposition to put pressure on the ruling party to deliver.

The short-sighted, bigoted and politically shallow folks in here (and in Nigeria) are not capable of seeing it from this angle though.
