3. Subject to the provisions of this constitution,the person elected as the President shall have power to issue a proclamation for the holding of the first session of the National Assembly immediately after his being sworn in or for its dissolution as provided for in this section.



Oya, Lawyers in the house, has the President issued a proclamation for the first sitting of the National Assembly?

Well, impeach saraki? By who? APC? And who becomes the SP once saraki I impeached? Ekweremadu? Or will dey also impeach him Asap? I guess the PDP will not allow that, if all PDP will stand against APC impeaching ekweremadu den it is invariably giving PDP d upper hand in d house as a member being d SP, u and I know that APC will never allow that to happen, instead dey will allow saraki.


Btw u need 2/3 of the house to impeach d SP, the whole house Is 109 and PDP can boast of 54, 2/3 of 109 is 72 and 109 minus 54 is not upto 72, therefore, it will be impoicant to carry out their plans without the 100% support of PDP.

Secondly, don't forget that saraki alo have loyalist in the house as well, so,being impeached will not work.


All APC should do, Is to bring their house to order, if they should refuse to make peace now,then APC is as gone and scattered as the old PDP.

Twhizzy93:
the constitution is silent about what will happen if the president does not issue a proclamation for the holding of the first seating

tempex88:
This thing na simple thing ooo... President was not there so no proclamation was issued and he can always deny any letter. If he should allow Saraki, he will be impeached before his tenure expires. mark my words. Buhari doesn not know how to play money politics like OBJ and GEJ.

LAX89:


It appears you are not familiar with the workings of the presidency. The president does not need to be physically present in the chamber to issue a proclamation. And letters from the president cannot be successfully denied by the president because it carries the SEAL of the president. If he denies it, that means someone else has the SEAL of the president, and that is treason.

tinkinjow:
Look before you leap. A proclamation was read out before the vote. Same has been done in the house.
Some APC senators realised the game is up and stayed away to avoid the shame.

It's karma. Remember the APC's role in the Tambuwal episode of 2011?
Interesting! Not that I give a damn.
Just imagine that they all stayed away giving the PDP opportunity to produce their own as the Senate president. Where would they have gathered the required two thirds to impeach him? Dumbest of the dumb.....

@ Bolded

Bro, why do you say so?

tempex88:


I say I no do something, you dey say official seal, am I dead? cant official seal be forged. He is alive to speak for himself.

tempex88:


I hope so tooo....But this one na necessary evil

tempex88:


Saraki wants to become president and very excellent at playing money politics like OBJ. PMB doesn not know how to play money politics. it wont be long before he wins more APC senators with his money....Think about it bro

holusormi:


Sorry to say this , you are talking like a kid .. Like u don't think before you type .... Dude it's the senate elections and not jss3 class captain elections .... You can't just undo things!!!

BuddhaPalm:


But if the president goes, isn't Osibanjo next in line?

mcgaius:
You guys should learn politics the way we northerners play it.We are not simply comfortable with Tinubu excesses and that's Why PMB lured other APC senators out for a pseudo meeting while election took place behind them.Learn!!!

Pamcrest:


The man has said he doesn't want to interfere in d NASS affairs ooo.. Besides Lai Mohammed just derided him saying Buhari is not d leader of their party. Dat one fit anger Presido so he may not deny d letter. APC needs change of tactics...e nor concern me sha.
My humble two cents

bubablaize:
judging by this then its obvious that the election of bukola Saraki as the senate president is in vain, offcourse without the proclamation of the president.

tempex88:


I will respond to you maturely. Sincerely you have not said anything

BuddhaPalm:

tempex88:


from all the ones that have happended before today, president goes to the house to read proclamation himself not through the clerk. I heard clerk received letter though

tempex88:


If I were in his shoe, I will withdraw it. its up to him to decide what to do. Already, with today's happening, he has 57 anti-APC senators better put has anti Buhari Senators.

modhream:

No President goes to the House to read the proclamation himself,not even Obasanjo did that.That would be tantamount to a Joint Session of the National Assembly.The most Obasanjo did in 1999 was read the proclamation himself from an Aso rock podium in front of cameras.
All these kids on nairaland sef

BUHARIWILLWIN:
dats why you are not in his shoes. Integrity matters

brixton:
the APC shot itself, I never wanted Bukola as SP but we will have to live with him now.

What does this mean for Gbajabiamila? Are we going to have the VP, SP and HoR speaker from the Yoruba?

tempex88:


there is nothing complex with this. All is in the hand of the presidency. if PMB does not embrace Saraki, e will go. Its politicals. this guys are not moralist

AK6464:



By geographical clasification, Kwara state is a North central state

tempex88:


Saraki will buy more APC reps. he can play money politics better than Buhari
