Lawan loss. He play the game wrong, he should have been there, canvass for vote among the pdp senators and slug it out with saraki. A quorum was form and to remove that guy will required 2/3 or a clear cut majority which apc don't have and which i don see apc getting unless pdp member decamp or some fall out of reckoning in the scheme of things under saraki. But what was apc thinking calling there members for meeting when an inauguration is to take place. Don't they have constitutional legal advisers to advice them? 2 Likes |

with the high level of absentees, i hope we won't see court cases and more drama much later? Ndume nomination is to avoid the impression that saraki group and pdp had made a deal. clearly saraki's tenure wont bean easy one |
Re: 51 Senators Absent As 57 Senators Elect Saraki As President by Nobody: 11:44am On Jun 09, 2015 |
All that matters is that the MAJORITY won. Lawan and co saw the sign that Saraki will defeat them, hence, their boycott |

The 51 Senators were holding a meeting with president buhari at the ICC when Saraki and co outsmart them. The funniest part is that there were some pdp chieftains at the ICC with buhari |

57 present, The Senate need 73 for quorum to be formed. Constitutional crisis ahead. Saraki Cannot Survive This! Mark it! 2 Likes |

Now the power fight has begun in APC. PDP politics is still a flourishing disease. Saraki has shown his hand early, he will be put in a well deserved place soon. 1 Like |

I thought the president was to declare the 8th senate open? Or is the declaration a mere formality? Is it a legally-binding act? |
Re: 51 Senators Absent As 57 Senators Elect Saraki As President by 9jatriot(m): 11:47am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Obiagelli: I have been wondering how he got into the position unopposed. In that case, there will be court litigation. Saraki may become the first victim of the anti corruption crusade. 2/3 required to form a quorum is 72 not 59. Interesting times ahead. 1 Like |

MaziOmenuko: The whole matter tire me, that was what I thought too. I have been confused all morning with the headlines coming out. Saraki should know that he is no longer in PDP, the nation wants things do properly and morally in this dispensation. He will outsmart himself, he will be made a scapegoat in the anti corruption crusade, in short he just made EFCC's job easier on him |

Re: 51 Senators Absent As 57 Senators Elect Saraki As President by ziccoit: 11:49am On Jun 09, 2015 |
How is he going to preside over a divided house? He has an edge after striking deal with PDP to produce deputy so why the rush. Saraki is my man but he is a traitor and possibly a mole in APC. Disgusting. 2 Likes |
