WORRIED that some of his ministerial nominees may not scale through the Senate screening, expected to commence next Tuesday,President Muhammadu Buhari,Tuesday,begged senators of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,for a soft landing for the nominees.

The president, who is said to be highly disturbed that without personal intervention, some of his party chiefs instrumental to his success at the president election would be frustrated during the screening exercise, has asked his Senior Special Assistant to the National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, to immediately reach out to the PDP senators.

The development came just as the All Progressives Congress,APC spokesman and ministerial nominee, Alhaji Lai Mohammed engaged former Speaker,House of Representatives and current governor of Sokoto State,Aminu Tambuwal to beg the Senate President,Bukola Saraki, for a soft landing at the screening exercise

Story

B00HARI has no choice, PDP still call the shots in the Senate.

The propaganda party (APC) are still learning legislative politics.

Okay

I see no changes - 2Pac

PMB is not out of order. It is called Lobbying in politics. Obama had to personally call almost all the congress men for Obamacare to sail through. Obama also lobbied the congress especially those in opposition for the bail out package after the recession to sail through. It is a norm in politics for the president to approach his opponents where he senses great opposition to his plans.

Dear Nairalanders, our democracy is growing by this act of Buhari. Checks and balances will be more rigid and no leader will take us for a ride. Indeed, i will prefer that any minister with proven acts of corruption should not scale through so that my generation who have plans for politics will watch their way ahead and shun corruption. Consequently, Nigeria will be better for it.

Finally, you are politically incorrect and outstandingly naive if you want PDP to die completely. That is not politics. Democracy thrives in opposition. Checks and balances which bring the needed change lies with the opposition because each party knows they will have to present their scorecard after four years. If you ask me, we need PDP to check the excesses of the ruling party, after all PMB was in the opposition for 16 years. So the wailing of PDP members is good.

One party system will keep us on a spot. How i wished PDP shared national assembly 50-50. Political lovers and observers would have had a swell time in the next four years. However, the current number means the take a bow and go will not work. All the ministers that took a bow in the past and went never delivered.

Guys democracy is hear...lets make it work and argue constructively not destructively.

Built2last said so.

Really why begging? I expected PMB to be neutral here, he has played his own part in nominating them as a reward for their support ..anyone that fails senate screening should know his or her past deeds is the one hunting them not PMB.
Anyways, I don't even know what to believe from the media again.

Beg? Kai! Vanguard can lie! Liar liar pants on fire.

Lets forgive the Daura Cattle rearer PDP

For what?

Funny and some infants on nairaland said PDP was dead.

President begging wailing wailers.

Vanguard is fast becoming a Useless Paper!


Their propaganda against Buhari is too petty, childish and irritating...

For the reminder: No Useless and idiotic Senator dare reject any nominee from that lists or the person will face immediate recall by his constituents!

APC e-rats will surely disagree...


but these same ones were swift in believing Saraki begged tinubu.

LOL...the real begging never start.

Lol... Buhari beg PDP the writer must have specialized in comedy... Rubbish report

Ok

The way Nigerian media blow things out of proportion is something else. This is politics! Lobbying is allowed. As long as it's not being done with money, it is in order and also good for interparty relations.

I just feel like looking for trouble tonight.

Hmmm

This Vanguard newspapers is becoming

a very big Nuisance

hohohoho i laugh in french

I just had to laugh sha

All these media peeps. "Beg" bawo?

PDP chop ebure abeg

Patiently watching
Nah saraki turn

O

I'm no longer interested in all these drama. These politicians know what they're all up to. Buhari is claiming to fight corruption with a corrupt list of ministers. They should all go to hell.
Buhari should quietly cut his slice of the national cake and let us rest!

Mr. Man, Are you shocked or what?
