It is very unfortunate that the present leadership of the Senate is abusing the opportunity given to them by the President and his ever reliable Vice Professor Yemi Osinbanjo for not interfering in who becomes their Senate President. But, from what Saraki led leadership of the Senate has done so far, they indirectly telling presidency to always impose person on them.

They are all more interested in perpetuating themselves in power. Pass the appropriation bill so that Nigerians will start feeling the impact, NO!!! What is important is staying in power.

The past three years has been more about political gimmicks and strategy than national progress. Very sad

It is obvious the same people who never believed that Buhari/Osibanjo will win in 2015 are still dreaming. 2019 will be more easier than in the past, cronies of the corrupt government can continue wailing as we the majority that voted for these wonderful people will still do it again and again

This present National Assembly members, especially the Senate are not doing us any good. Can you imagine since the the budget was presented to them, they have not done anything. It is obvious the avenue for them to divert public funds corruptly are no longer there for them. What a shame. Thank God for this change oo

When will you mumus sign the budget. Many things are at stake

Don't mind them. They are holding it just to frustrate the FG from embarking on projects, so they can label it as a failure at the end.

They are afraid that with the early passage of the budget, the FG would win the heart of the electorates with the massive infrastructural development. For this, they want to frustrate them by all means.

The greatest problem with Nigerian politicians is lack of patriotism. If elders cannot speak the truth, the youths must not remain silent.
PMB does not have want it takes to take nigerians to the promised land. The country is failing & new crises are coming up daily. The personal interests/survival of unproductive politicians should not be an issue of national interest.
What the country needs is a patriot/statesman that can give us good leadership.

It's a lie that PDP senators were in the stupid pro buhari meeting, they are more intelligent than that.
Saraki mah nigguh, no mind the Buhari mice and "mouses" in the senate, you can always count on the UNFLINCHING support of the SAGACIOUS AND WINNING PDP caucus in the senate.After all, it was the PDP that made you senate president.PD RUNS THE SENATE so Buhari apologists can only bark, but they cannot bite, they will only whine,rant and cry, but they will never have their way

The crisis over reordered election sequence has led to the emergence of a ‘rebel group’ in the Senate, multiple sources told Daily Trust. The group which claimed to have the backing of the Presidency emerged after marathon meetings held at the residence of a former governor in Abuja.

It was gathered that the final meeting where the formation of the group was perfected held at the middle of the week. The membership of the group was said to have swelled from 14 to around 40 senators.

Daily Trust reliably gathered that the membership of the group was drawn from both the North and South. It also cut across party divide as there were claims that both members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are in the group.

The agenda of the currently-unnamed group, according to a member who does not want to be named, is “two-in-one”. The emergence of the group has since created apprehension in the camp of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

It was reliably gathered that it was when the loyalists of Saraki got the wind of the formation of the group, they orchestrated the removal of ranking senator, Abdullahi Adamu as the Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum (NSF).

Adamu, a former governor of Nasarawa State was removed as NSF chair, a week after he led 10 of his colleagues to protest the passage of the reordered election sequence. His removal was announced via a letter by Senator Dino Melaye, spokesperson of the NSF.

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu who presided over the plenary on Wednesday announced the sacking. Before that, another opponent of the election sequence change, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege (APC, Delta) was marked for suspension.

Omo-Agege incurred the wrath of the power brokers in the senate over his statement that the reordered election sequence was targeted at President Mohammadu Buhari. He is being probed by the Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions Committee.

The point of order by Senator Malam Ali Wakili (APC, Bauchi) on Thursday revealed that a crack now exists at the Upper Chamber. He said the removal of Adamu did not follow due process.

Speaking to Daily Trust, a member of the new group said: “We resolved to form this group because we realised that the chamber has derailed. As elders, we cannot just watch. We’re over 40 now and we have gotten high-powered endorsement. The Presidency, Asiwaju and some key governors who are friends of the President have endorsed us.” He declined to name the key promoters and leaders of the group.

He said: “Our agenda is one, to promote the policies and legislation that would enable President Buharisucceed. A similar group will emerge at the House of Reps next week. They are sabotaging the President at the Senate and we want to stop this. Politics aside, the country must be properly placed on the right track of development.” He added that the sack of Adamu was part of the plot to break the ranks of the northern senators.

A source in the camp of the Senate President said they have adopted a fire-for-fire approach to confront the group. “They met on Tuesday and they were only 14. We are aware that they are plotting with a section of the Presidency. In power game, you have to assert your authority,” he said.

Saraki’s media aide, Yusuph Olaniyonu, responded: “There’s nothing like that. The Senate is compact, and there is no division.”

I supported them in 2015, though I couldn't vote because I was transferred. I have successfully transferred my pooling boot to my new location in Ebonyi state and come rain come shine, BUHARI will have my vote.

Saraki should just be counting down on leaving that position for the nation to move forward.

It's way too late for Buhari cabal to do anything to Saraki senate presidency. Too late. The presidency had its chance to stall his emergence but Buhari himself chose to be a weakling, until Saraki became a bone stuck in the APC's own throat. Saraki knows that there is 'no shaking' because the PDP which he owes his survival to have the numbers and motivation to keep him in that seat. I foresee Saraki decamping to PDP in the coming months. Buhari is the real cause of the crises in the party. Saraki is going nowhere.
Man you are very correct in your assertions. Buhari is the cause all the crisis bedevilling is party, by pretending to be a democrat, thereby giving way for this man to emerge as the senate president.
