NgeneUkwenu:Saraki is in serious trouble then. He boycotted the VP's meeting with APC senators and also boycotted that of PMB? I see trouble coming for Saraki. |

JackBaueress1: I asked you to wait! Imagine the ediot picking Ekweremmadu as his deputy just to win the Seat! That Tambuwal and Ihedioha were not Punished by PDP doesn't mean APC will keep quiet! |

Why did Buhari call a meeting today? When were the senators supposed to be in the senate? Saraki should be punished. There is no space for such anymore |

With every news that comes in, I keep getting confused. Nigerian politics can not just be a black and white matter. Too many technicalities! Yeesh! |

9jatriot: its 2/3 to remove an elected sp but simple majority to elect him this goes to show that Buhari is a clown n brainless like most apc senator n cant do a simple political arithmetic |

tayebest:then why did they posted the news as " Bukola Saraki Won The Senate Presidency Unopposed " ? If truly the 51 absentees are seriously interested in voting Lawan in why didn't they attend the exercise? How many vote did Lawan get from the 57 votes? Kindly answer these questions Sir/Ma 1 Like |

Re: 51 Senators Absent As 57 Senators Elect Saraki As President by Nobody: 11:56am On Jun 09, 2015 |
NgeneUkwenu:oh! I should have known that. Saraki has betrayed his party out of desperation. So sad! |
Re: 51 Senators Absent As 57 Senators Elect Saraki As President by enm(m): 11:57am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Please any constitutional lawyer in the house? Please come in a clarify. Is 2/3 of the member needed before a quorum can be form or not? To my understanding 2/3 of the total member is not needed before a quorum can be form. To pass an act or bill into law, a quorum must be form and it required 2/3 of that forum or clear cut majority before bill can be pass. So the question is was a quorum formed? Which i think is yes ( am subject to correction ) |
Re: 51 Senators Absent As 57 Senators Elect Saraki As President by Pangea: 11:57am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Is saraki mad? Does he think we are still in the time of impunity of Jonathan? Is high time baba wakes up and start wielding the stick ! |

Obiagelli: Nobody was outsmarted. Today is the inauguration of the 8th assembly, and the venue is the national assembly complex, not ICC. The 57 lawmakers only did the needful. The meeting at ICC is APC affair, while the inauguration is a national affair. You don't expect the former to take precedence over the latter ... 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Pangea: I am sorry, there is nothing Buhari can do in this case. Buhari is genuinely clueless when it comes to high wire politics. What has happened, in reality, is that Saraki has defected to PDP. |

Why had buhari wanted to hold a meeting with the senators knowing today was the day they were to be sworn in. I think buhari just deceived the APC senators. Even lai mohamed had said buhari is not the leader of APC. Only john oyegun can call for a meeting of such and I doubt it would be legal given the timing. The fulanis are already proving smarter than the so called progressives. Time would tell. |

Maxymilliano: God bless you bro, Nobody should blame anyone here. Lawan shot himself. Don't they know that postponement of the inauguration can cause constitutional crisis? The thing is with or without all apc sanators the opposition party can go ahead with the inauguration and nothing will happen because with the number a quorum will be form. The judiciary know this and that's why they go ahead and do the swearing in. Apc should have settled their matta before today |
