PDP have Senators from the North Central. I don't want to suggest (would prefer they pick among themselves)

Mogidi:


Another brilliant article, still waiting for APC supporters to respond to the article rather than their usual (subtle) personal attacks.

erunz:
Barcanista na four bottles of Goldberg I owe u. This analysis dey on point

dearpreye:


Avoid his articles then. He doesn't need to appear smart to you. Smartness is relative brother.

If anything, you're the one pandering to your group of zombies.

If Saraki resigns or steps down... On the interim Ekweremmadu would become the SP.
I know many things will happen before the election would take place...

I see PDP in control of the RED CHAMBER

babaearly:


I'm not talking about this article per say but all you have been doing since moving from APC to PDP
Well i dont have a problem with that but you have been all about this like you have no life outside here
I have seen your facebook and the message i get is of an able bodied youth wasting away
I see you sitting down with your laptop and thats your dp which is quite sad.
Your mates are quite different when you see them on Linkedin but i doubt you even use that resource

Quit this road you are toeing because it will give you more misery. You might seem destined for great things
but you are channeling your emotions and will power from the wrong people to a crowd that does not even give a damn about you
Many of your "followers" are still struggling with their day to day life
and it beats me some still support you, when you support the politicians who have made a mess of their life

Think about it

[size=13pt]Not everyone here is male,& I honestly try to avoid his threads but there are too many half- truths, ommissions & outright misinformation he puts out..[/size].

Heard that was the reason coupled with anti state activities for his expulsion from fb..

Never used to bother about responding to people on social media till someone told me what she read from someone's comment on lindaikeji's blog & claimed it must be true "cos it's on the internet"!!!

TonyeBarcanista:
@OpcNairaland: You can't bully "everybody" with the judiciary. Trust me there are battles you can't win. As for Dino, he's up against Smart adeyemi of PDP. Either ways, PDP wins.


Welcome to 21st Century politics

And you think APC and Tinubu are fools.. They fought successfully as opposition without loosing much battle and yet came out un scattered, talk of when they now have control..

I laugh you in Spanish

Mogidi:


Why not be a man and expose the half truth you referenced.

Mogidi:


PDP is on a win win situation.

onismate:
for were, the APC was never strong but it was GEJ that gave them victory with his attitude and lack of proper leadership skills.

TonyeBarcanista:

That's the truth. APc should forget about the Senate.



@OPCNairaland: I don't like arguing much. I did lay to bear analysis on how to pocket APC. You are telling me plea bargain. Who's afraid of that? Like I said, you can't use the judiciary to bully everybody. Abeg I no wan argue

Look TonyeBarcanista , the chances PDP has is so slim, even slimmer than a sickle cell patient. For me I think it's 50/50 between the PDP and APC for the next Senate President. PDP as at present can get it if ekwerenmadu has a clean shit and no ant or cockroaches hidden in his cupboard. Infact this people have succeeded in rubbishing Saraki's image and personality.

OPCNAIRALAND:


The Senate Leadership is one battle APC will win. Did you not get the news that some corrupt politicians are already approaching government on their own accord and offering to remit what was stolen in exchange for less and softer penalty? ....and these are people not yet formally charged for corruption. The mainstream ideology today is redemption, whether voluntary or involuntary.....there is nothing intimidating or bullish about plea bargaining. You either come to your sense and fall in with the mainstream or remain obstinate and self-destroy.

Dogara took some sense and got on the mainstream. Saraki remains obstinate.....your recommendation for him in your opening post is a path of self destruction for those who will apply it.

hinwazaka:
EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS SARAKI FIASCO WITH THE CCB, ALL MANNERS OF COMMENTS HAVE HIT THE SOCIAL MEDIA WITH INSINUATIONS AND CALLS FOR THE EXIT OF THE SP. ON CHANNELSTV SUNRISE DAILY, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE EDIRORIAL BOARD OF THE NATION NEWSPAPER, OMATSEYE, WAS WITH ALL GRINS CALLING FOR THE SP TO STEP DOWN. WELL, SORRY TO RUIN HIS PARADE AND THAT OF ANYONE EYEING THE NO 3 CHAIR. BUT THE FACT IS THAT SARAKI IS GOING NO WHERE
SARAKI HAS NOT ONLY A LARGE PART OF THE NC BEHIND HIM, BUT THE ENTIRE PDP SENATORIAL CONFLAGARATION, AND IN ADDITION ALSO A LARGE PART OF THE EASTERN BLOC ON HIS SIDE. WITH THIS IMPORTANT ELEMENTS SUPPORTING HIM, IT WOULD TAKE NOTHING SHORT OF AN EARTHQUAKE TO MAKE THE ENFANT TERRIBLE GIVE UP HIS SEAT

Mogidi:


The impending implosion in APC would make PDP'S past wahala seem like child's play
Can't wait to see how this all pans out, I bought my ticket a long time ago hehehe.

OfoIgbo:
I thought of this same strategy a few days ago when I started taking interest in the Saraki saga.

It has one flaw, and a major flaw it is.

MONEY POLITICS. Remember that people like Tinubu have amassed corrupt riches over the decades, and I am not sure how principled, these batch of PDP and rebel APC senators are to resist any financial inducement from Tinubu's minions. This is the only flaw to your plan, that I can think of at the moment.

However all hope is not lost. I can think of two ways of countering potential Tinubu et al financial inducement of senators

TonyeBarcanista:
The travails of Abubakar Bukola Saraki has opened a new chapter in the Senate and possible a vacuum in the office of the Senate President. We have to be honest with ourselves: Bukola Saraki has lost the moral ground to preside over the Senate Chambers. He has to step down voluntarily, and allow for someone without a moral burden to fill the vacuum. We are not unaware that the ruling APC is already scheming for replacement of Saraki. We also cannot feign ignorance to the fact that the APC is still bitter that senator Ike Ekweremadu of PDP emerged Deputy Senate President. They are plotting to oust him also and install their "choice". The PDP must wake up and take the battle to APC over full control of the Senate. PDP must seize full control of the red chambers.

The Reason APC and Buhari Want Saraki Down:
Make no mistake, Nigerians of good conscience want the senate president to answer for the 13 charges against him, and some want him to step down from his exalted office on moral ground. However, APC and the Presidency want Saraki to go down so as to have their stooge as Senate President. They are not interested in fighting corruption. If they were, they wouldn't have brought Saraki into the Senate in the first place. If Buhari was interested in fighting corruption he wouldn't have withdrawn the N2.8 billion corruption charge against ex-Bayelsa state governor Timpre Sylva, and even gifted him with the party guber ticket for the December election. If Buhari is serious with corruption fight, he would be prosecuting Pa Abubabakar Audu on his ongoing corruption case instead of campaigning for him to return to Lokoja Government House in order to continue where he stopped in the alleged looting spree that went under him as governor between 1999 and 2003. Buhari and APC want Saraki to go down simply because they wanted total control of the Senate and also to share Senate standing committees from the comfort of Buhari's presidential lodge and Tinubu's bedroom in bourdillon road.

The Upper-hand Is With PDP:
The Senate composes of 109 Senators. The PDP has 49, while the APC enjoys 60. Of the APC 60, about 12(including Saraki) are seen as rebels and has been ostracised by their party. The PDP must meet these pro-Saraki APC minority group to present a PDP candidate from NC as Saraki's successor(anybody but David Mark). The APC rebels should be rewarded with membership/chairmanship of choice standing committees. With 61 senators(49 PDP Se+ 12 APC) behind PDP candiate, the party stand as "Majority" to defeat whoever the gods of APC present as their candidate because APC will be left with 48 senators. A very wide majority. Considering that PDP need a minimum 55 senators for this battle, 61 will be more than required. This is enough to humble APC.

Saraki Must Make Up With PDP
As for Bukola Saraki, he is unfortunate to be served the same meal he served former president Goodluck Jonathan and PDP. However, he has to repent and respond to his alleged offence. But, he should be told that the only way he can redeem his betrayals towards PDP is by supporting a PDP candidate to succeed him. This will also defeat the evil mechanism of Buhari and other APC gods.


Finally, the PDP must not let go of this rare opportunity to legitimately control the Senate and have the Umbrella standing in the office of the Senate President. Buhari will have no choice but to work with PDP-led Senate.

Let's teach APC how to play politics.
