Saraki should continue to eat his cake while it lasts. He cannot go against his party's directive and survive. The party's directive is supreme. Even it never happened in PDP when in power. He stabbed his party in the back by allowing a PDP senator Ike Ekweremadu to be deputy senate President. PDP will never allow that to happen. He is treacherous, perfidious and his overambitiousness will soon finish him. Let wait and see.

What's this one Saying? The Presidency would 'back' him to adjourn sitting till next month? Maybe you're thinking Jonathan is still the President. With Buhari, the era of impunity is over!
Ur brain is impaired Era of impunity is over yet ur opposition ruling party is going against the law that says candidates are nomited FROM the party not BY the party

[size=14pt]Saraki is pushing his luck too far. I think he should be content with the Senate Presidency that he got against the party's wish. Indiscipline by party member does not augur well for the nation irrespective of which angle you look at it from[/size]

It is the duty of the senators to choose their principal officers - not Tinubu's or Buhari's or Oyegun's or any other person outside the Senate Chambers.

saraki is cutting the south east and south south out; I said it that he and His fellow northerners are planning to make sure that most positions in both houses do not get to the east and the south south as Tinubu and other APC leaders wanted but due to ethnic sentiments many people were hailing him even PDP helped him to cut off the east and south thinking they are getting at Tinubu. Let see how they are enjoying things the way they are unfolding. grin

DonFOOLopus, Don't you know Saraki is a progressive?.... And a Democrat, You should be happy we have someone like him as the president of the Senate.
I believe Sen. Saraki is doing the right thing. This is the change we voted for. Must our so called leaders manipulate?

Buhari is the CinC but does not command the Senate President or House Speaker. Else, why couldn't Jonathan as CinC sack Speaker Tambuwal?

With this move Buhari is in trouble. Saraki, PDP and few APC can remove Buhari any day they want

This is how they will waste the 4 years o!

Buhari needs to go to OBJ for lessons on how to control the national assembly or else he is finished!
I love buhari, but I cant take the blame of this fracas off him. He needs to listen to Tinubu and Obj. He must always be seen as a party man.

Why would he be doing this with the backing of the presidency? You do realize that the Senate needs to be in session in order to confirm the ministerial list? How will Buhari be expected to keep running his government without ministers? You do realize that he promised to hit the ground running?

So what happens to governance now that the Senate is going on recess? Are they also going to collect full-month salary this month and next?
All these while, was it the Senate that stopped Buhari from nominating ministers?

The only thing that united APC was the common desire to remove Jonathan. Nothing else.
WAS GEJ NOT QUALIFIED TO BE REMOVED ? . FOR 6 YEARS HE DID NOTHING POSITIVE BUT ONLY TO DRAIN THE TREASURE OF THE NATION . HE CANNOT GO FREE FOR I HAVE A FATHER ( ALMIGHTY GOD) WHO DEALS WITH EVERY INDIVIDUAL ACCORDINGLY . CAN YOU SEE THE FINANCIAL MESS THE NATION IS FINDING HERSELF TODAY

Even after losing, you are still lamenting, l like the fact that you are hopeful, hopeful for nothing.

But somebody told me they have to clear the ministers or they'd be no ministers.
Where are the names of the ministers to be cleared. If Buhari is not ready, senate too is not ready. Meanwhile of House of. Representative are beaten themselves now. For senate not to degenerate into this
Saraki played the fast one.

The Good Thing is that We disgraced and retired PDP! And We will definitely retire this small fry Called Saraki!

The PDP never had to fight over National Assembly positions because they abided by party directives, Bukola Saraki's ambition has birthed this one.

Who is the 'we' ?


APC is just a name, PDP is the party.
