Apc and buhari is the highest fraud in Nigeria since 1914 cool


If this fraud is not encouraged by the colonial masters, it can't stand.

Akpabio had to join Buhari in London to perfect this fraud , this rape to democracy, this plot to perpetuate inept Buhari in power in Nigeria with hundreds of thousands of younger technocrats who can lift Nigeria from poverty and fourth world status .

Some people that have been celebrating and 'beating chest' on Saraki and others' defection will not take to this but will result to wailing, name calling and insult as usual.

They don't just understand politics but very very hypocritical and emotional

Cry cry babies everywhere.

Senator Akpabio thanked the Senate leadership, the minority leadership, all distinguished Senators, his party the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the opportunity to lead the PDP Caucus in the last three years.

Who cares Nigeria politics is finished we are being ruled by selfish political leaders if a sitting senate president can decide to leave a party due to poor visions,(fake change) victimisation and undemocratic rules of his party then I see no reason why someone with sane mind would want to join such party
(except he is afraid of EFCC) God save Nigeria from all this bad eggs

Pls try to be patient while reading so as to comprehend some things. It should not be all about fanatics, try to be realistic and liberal some times. He resigned because, the pdps are the minority in the senate and he is no longer part of minority so he couldn't be their leader. Saraki was elected so it is not a matter of minority or majority.

There is no LAW that states the senate president MUST come from the majority party. Logically, an individual has a greater chance of being senate president if he belongs to the majority party because they hold more votes. He played the game of numbers, won the seat and has switched to where he belongs. Does it mean he should no longer be senate president??

Anyway, APC will soon be the minority party then Akpabio will wonder why he resigned as Minority leader.

They want to use this as a yardstick for others that crossed to resign too

They have to explain why Tambuwal did not resign as speaker in 2014 first

You made a great point there. This country is a joke. They are all fighting for their selfish interest not for interest of the masses.

keep that your smelling and stupid mouth shut. Akpabio has done the right thing a law abiding senator should do when defecting to another party. Saraki ought to have done the same but because he thinks he owns the senate, he was misguided by his thieving pdp. if all those that defected did the same, there won't be any problem. sai baba

Scripts playing out well so far, provoking a pre-2015 nostalgia. This is the kind of drama and intrigues that we expected to unfold immediately after the unholy ascendancy of Saraki at the Senate.

Why didn't we have an Oshiomole at the helms of APC all this while? Oyegun's docility and treachery, not Saraki's betrayal, was the greatest undoing of APC. The former birthed the latter.

Even Akpabio's legislative aids have resigned, refused to follow him to APC.

You stay in the SW region and pretend you know AKWA Ibom politics, even more than Akwa Ibomites themselves.

Shut up.
You expect him to leave the minority party and still chair it?

The senate president was voted in by the majority (comprising of senators from various parties, mostly PDP) and not by the majority party (APC)
It is only natural that the majority party produces the senate leader because they are more likely to sway more votes and not because the post of senate president belongs to them.
Bukola will defect and retain his seat. His post is not owned by any party nd he is not answerable to any party.
Tambuwal defected ahead of the 2015 election... what happened?

Majority and minority leaders are party affairs and has nothing to do with Senate of the whole house.

Senate President is No 3 citizen in the country and is elected by Senate of the whole house.
