Referencing the bolded above. Apc would have fallen face flat if they had fielded another instead of Buhari as their Presidential candidate. Many voters do consider the candidate and not only the party when voting.

Without them they wouldn't have won the election. APC mistake was when they felt only foundation members will be allowed to hold Principal office in the legislature. They can't eat their cake and have it and as person lay hin bed na so he go sleep on top am. APC is fake, built on faulty logic of win at al cost and then dump those you use to win.

CSTR2:
Now i can see your stupiddity is genetic.
A new multinational coalition that has not even scored a single point against bokoharam aside taking pictures when lives are being lost by the day.
A relocation of the command center that has not shown any sign of effectiveness.
The main strike force for the war against bokoharam in the past govt was the 7th division which was very effective to the point where bokoharam were almost decimated prior to handover, and now your almajiri president has just disbanded them leading to lose of valuable intel, initiative and organisation.
Your president is busy taking pictures when over 600 lives have been lost in just two months.
I don't care if you keep sucking buhari dicck. My people are not the ones dying.
Atleast one thing i am greatful for is that any cry of genocide from the north will sound very hollow.

What about Nigerian citizens supremacy?

Hahahaha even 4 a TANoid dis post is really silly. F*cking TANoid, when will u hav sense?.
Hav u considered how different d story of dis insurgency could hav been If only GEJ saw it as an insurgency?. Rather he listened to d voices of fear, suspicion & division like urs who sold him d lie dat it was northerners trying to make d nation ungovernable 4 him. He therefore did not see d people of d north east as his constituents but saw them as people who were trying to make d nation ungovernable 4 him. Having left undone what he should hav done, he discovered d truth in d twilight of his inept presidency & tried to make amends. It was too late & he got what he deserved. Otuoke straaaaaight!
Unlike GEJ, PMB is wise enough to know dat it is an insurgency & make no mistake about it. dis man will end d insurgency in d N/east.

codedguy1:


It is your flaccid skull that needs re examining! Lawan is seen as Tinubu's candidate to neutralise Saraki who Tinubu sees as over ambitious. Was it not Akume that was first in contest with Saraki for the position. Sit down there and be talking nonsense that Lawan was Buhari's candidate, Buhari who had said he would work with anybody- a very naïve position.

It is now u know people want to reap where they did not sow, when they were accepting all sorts of characters into their fold while chanting chanji they did not realise they were carrying ant infested woods into their house.

The consequences of that action is playing out now.

millionaireman:
Eheem,, PMB is crossing the Rubicon. He is influencing who and who may 're-emerge as principal officers of the legislature.

This is purely an unconstitutional step.

The legislature is an independent organ of government. The legislature is there to checkmark the executive.



If PMB in any way influences the outcome of who head the principal offices of the legislature, democracy is being compromised.

linearity:
This is very wrong, they should put the interest of the whole country in mind in the discharge of their duties, including those that did not vote for them.

PMB is not showing democratic maturity here, he is not the President of APC, but that of Nigeria, including those who voted again him. Saraki is not the Senate President of APC either, he should execute the function of that office on behalf of Nigerians as stipulated to in the constitution and not on behalf of APC.

linearity:


You guys are not learning from past mistakes, this is the same attitude that made APC's anointed candidates to loss the headship at the Senate and in the House.

Yes, Saraki was a factor, but remember he was able to convince the majority to go along with him. Even if you attributed the Senate vote to a coup that prevented the naived APC Senators that chose to go and welcome PMB instead of attending their inaguration, what about the defeat that APC anointed candidates were given in the House.

APC should realize that, the majority that gave them the landslide in the last election came from different factions and interests. These various factions had only one goal in mind, i.e. to win and remain in the power. They do not care about party supremacy or party interest....in politities, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, just permanent interest. These deflator to APC did not drop their various interests at the door when they joined APC and they are not permanent friends with APC, they joined APC because at that time, that is the party that aligned more closely to their interest.

Instead of forcing party supremacy on the Senate, I think APC should start thinking of how they will governor....because even with their majority in Senate, it will be difficult for them to pass meaning bills that aligns to their priorities....e.g. APC have 60 votes to PDP's 49...on any bill, PDP can be guaranteed to produce all their 49 votes, but with the various factions & interests in APC, I doubt it, we saw that played out in Saraki vote....all that is needed to defeat any of their Priorities is 6 deflating votes and it is very easy to get those votes.

So, APC should be wise and know that, there is no unifying interest among it's current politicians and they should stop thinking that the APC that gave them the majority in the last election have the same interest, cohesion and unity as the previous minority APC and as such, the more you force party supremacy, the more you start tuning off many Senators and it is bad for business.

If APC want to be a true majority, they must come to terms with the diversity and ranging interest within their current formation, discuss them, allow everyone to air their interests, then find a way to address or compromise; forcefully commanding everyone to toll a single line only walk at the barracks and PMB should know the difference. He is not commanding an infantry battalion and this is not a dictatorship either.

omooba969:


Bla bla bla...is dat all? So much for ur resume wen u shud be mentioning ur qualifications. U may av forgotten dat image is everything !

Oponu !

Goke7:

thank God you have contradicted yourself by saying that lawan is seen as tinubu's candidate but he was never tinubu's candidate he only supported law an so that gbaja can have full support in the house of rep and if you prefer saraki to tinubu, ha you don enter one chance as buhari and so many others now know better. Am laughing at your miscalculation now, buhari thought saraki was in his interest when he said he will work with anybody but kasala don't burst now as saraki showed his hand too early lol

CSTR2:
My resume contains my qualifications, you inbred moronn.
You are a waste of time.

Bugatie:
But you were for nobody and for everybody?

ndcide:
Does party supremacy come in, when buhari is to apoint ministers?

Will the party leadership write the names of the ministers and give to him?

If he goes that route, fine. But let someone close to him tell him that he will be defeated by his party, if he goes that route.

He will be defeated.

Buhari think that because some persons are screaming corruption to high heavens, means they won't divert funds to their private accounts, when the time comes.

I laugh.


They'll tell you they are working and the people are happy.

bornmekus:


ABUJA – President Muhammadu Buhari has told the All Progressives Congress
lawmakers in the National Assembly to accept the party’s supremacy in the interest of democracy.



In his opening remarks at the ongoing meeting of the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abuja, Buhari charged members to put whatever interest they have in their “pockets” and accept the supremacy of the party in the overall interest of democracy.

He said: “What ever your personal interests, put them in your pocket. Let APC work. Let the system work. I appeal to you to accept the superiority of the party. I cannot confine myself in Sambisa forest and refuse to participate in the meeting because I respect the superiority of the party.”

Guy, dis is APC govt & u need to come to terms wit d fact dat they 've got to run d show. APC party( in a way ) wud be central to hw thing r done, itz abt d manifesto of d party & d supremacy of ideals...gerrit nw?

This is APC GOVERNMENT !

ndcide:


Fact APC is the present party in central government.
Since that is not changing in at least about four years from now, it will be good for us to be objectively sincere in our analysis, not as if someone wants to remove APC from power in the next 24 hours. Relax and open your mind.

When buhari told APC Governors who are also members and leaders of the party to go away with their ministerial suggestions as he doesn't appoint commissioners for them, how did you feel?. Be frank with this.... Why did the issue of party supremacy not come in.

This is a short cut to democratic autocracy because the so called "party" is simply the desire of a few. You as a apc supporter honestly know that the party chairman and even the president have no issues with the NASS leadership. You know those making all the noise.

It's about the chopping at the center which can't be separated from corruption. This is the truth.

With this, what really is the change.?


With the false image of buhari that APC is forcing Nigerians to believe, buhari will be defeated by the party if he goes with party supremacy. He will not be able to take his stand, when it matter most.

When the shyte hits the roof, you'll know there's nothing like party supremacy in a presidential system of government.... Everybody will find their way because it's all about winning elections and be chopping government money.

If it was about party supremacy buhari himself would have been in APP and Tinubu in AD.

Let's say the truth at all times please. Election is about 4 years away.

and will buhari agree to APC's dictations too? birds of same feathers

Goke7:


This was why I said buhari was naïve at the beginning, all what you have said here, if buhari knew this we won't have this crisis here. They have already accepted saraki as senate president despite the coup but saraki took his luck too far by going ahead to decide the other positions and started giving excuses, who is a fool here, saraki himself is naive despite all his political prowess even tinubu does not push himself too far like that, he had already aligned himself with lawab so that gbaja can have the house sea t so what do want them to do. Some greedy fellows are just using the tinubu excuse to achieve their aim and buhari has finally seen the handwriting on the wall hence his new position
