ABUJA- THE immediate past Senate Minority leader and former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, APC, Akwa Ibom North West, Monday vowed that the Senate would declare seats of Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, former PDP national Chairman, Barnabas Gemade, Senators Rabiu Kwankwaso; Dino Melaye; Usman Nafada; Suleiman Hunkuyi and others who dumped the ruling, All Progressives Congress, APC for the Peoples Democratic PDP vacant.



Others are Senators Abdullahi Danbaba;,Mohammed Shaaba Lafiagi; Rafiu Ibrahim; Ida Hamman Misau; Monsurat Sunmonu; Suleiman Nazif and Abdulaziz Nyako.

Answering questions from Journalists Monday in Abuja, Senator Akpabio who last week Wednesday dumped the PDP for the APC, said that he was not disturbed over calls from some quarters that his seat in the upper Chamber should be declared vacant.

Akpabio who was blocked at the Foyer of the National Assembly Monday and asked if he was perturbed about reports that his seat should be declared vacant, said, “Even as you are looking at me, do I look perturbed? I have not heard the report. Because the reason why I think that is a rumour is that there is, at the moment, no division in the APC. The APC is one family. If you hear about R-APC that was not really a political party that was not a division, and has since been consumed in what they call Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP). So, there is no division. And so, any defector from APC to PDP, we will like to declare those seats vacant.”

On the question that the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole had said severally that he would get Saraki impeached this week and that Constitution says two-third was required to effect such an impeachment and how he has mobilized for this, Akpabio said, “I just came in from Ikot-Ekpene, where I decided with my people to join APC. I’m yet to be briefed on any of those items. I have not heard anything. And what I am hearing now is what you are telling me. But why don’t you wait for me to formally talk to you? I believe that when the National Assembly resumes you will hear from me directly. So, exercise patience.”

I think the strength of Akpabio is overrated. His political strength is not beyond his minority tribe in Akwa Ibom

Let him face any consequence of his action.

Where is 'we' please

Akpabio, the INEC chairman who doubles as SP under MumuBuharism. Apc shit will never making jokes sha.
Buhari, a good man with bad intentions.

They don't care about us, selfishness is what I see...
These guys dine and enjoy our resources and when you come to nairaland, youths will be like

Do me I do you, God no vex..

Oya

Nigeria politics no go kill person

Hmmm. Tit for tat. Whether saraki likes it or not, he will have to reconvene the senate and the outcome will almost certainly be disastrous for him. Postponing the doomsday will not stop the doom.

Senate Agbasa

Chaiii......this guy jus dey pepper some pipu for body aswear........and him neva even do anytin yet sef

Chai...
Saraki matter go kill Una there.
If APC to declare their seat vacant,how about yours in PDP...
All you need to be APC member is a empty skull.
This ediot is an Elder state man,He never said anything about Fulani herdsmen terrorist,He just want to be the senate president...

damn

Nigeria do tire me, mtchww, na just bible verses everybody just dey update for whatsapp status

Bunch of mad men on both side of the political divide.Let the roforofo fight continues.

Lol


politicians

Akpabio is under the influence of zombie virus


There is nothing out of the ordinary here

Saraki , 4 years ago worked assiduously to weaken PDP and ensured the defeat of GEJ. Ameachi, Tambuwal and others were also part of the plot.

Today, some elements in PDP are celebrating Saraki even more than people who stayed by PDP and GEJ through thick and thin. They even made him the leader of the party while GEJ looked on. On the other hand, Ameachi is still hated for the same "crime" Saraki committed.

Strong party men like Markarfi are even being unsung.


Isn't this God wonderful?

oya now... as per say na you be new Senate President.... Igbo

This one serious o.

But he's technically correct.

If Saraki should declare Akpabio's seat vacant that'll be the end of his senate presidency.

really?
I swear, if Evans join APC, this government will fire Abba Kyari and all the policemen that was involved in his arrest

saraki ,the terror to Apc,

If any member did what Saraki did to APC after election victory to me , that member is a goner.

That's betrayal. Its treason.

Conspiring with an (enemy) is treason. I can't tolerate that. It's worst than Judas Iscariot deed. That guy can sell off Nigeria's secret informations for his ambition.

Sensitive national codes can't be trusted with Saraki else Benin and Togo will overrun Nigeria. Same with Boko Haram.

I might not like Buhari, but I detest Saraki the more.

Buhari is even gentle with him. He would dare not try that with me as the President. If it will involve me shutting down national assembly for 4 years, I'm gonna do that.

I'd rather die than have him preside over the National Assembly if I were to be the President. He over dared the President.

He crossed the 'Red Line'.

I laugh in Spanish

e dey pain pdp... saraki must go

Imagine a man that is supposed,to be walking around with a face cap and dark shade...still have mouth to rant...somebody should tell that akpa amu to kop inua.

Before Akpabio, no Aks politician has been so outstanding.
If Goodluck had won in that election eeeh then people could have known who Akpabio is. One thing I've learnt from him, whatsoever you are doing, do it well and stand out.

Another drama about to unfold, saraki is obviously the number 1 pin in the ass of APC and sadly for them he is always a step ahead of them, I learn they just had a meeting with oshiomole this evening about how to impeach him saraki, the truth is saraki seems too sophisticated for the APC intelligence quotient



Nigeria sai kwankwaso

Omo mehn, Politics sweet die..


kiss the truth!

Akpabio the dreamer....declaring his seat vacant, and clamouring for saraki and Ekweremadu seat to be vacant so that he can emerge as the majority leader....he will lose it all
