Following the failure of Saraki to get a reprieve from the Appeal Court today regarding his trial, it then means he will have his days in court on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Consequently, in his absence, the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremmadu will have to preside on Wednesday when the final batch of the ministerial nominees would be screened and possibly confirmed.

Interesting scenario...

I doubt he has to be in court physically since his plea has been taken.
His lawyer(s) can represent him

I was having d same taught, but dis is wat does fighting him are actually fighting him for, just imagine how he will give PDP an advantage to mess up d presidency assuming it sends a serious bill on a day like dat

In criminal cases, the accused must be present and also sit in the dock until the trial is over. So he will be attending court anytime the case is called.

But he may not be there to preside on Wednesday, as he must be in court to defend himself..so, is likely Ekweremadu would preside in his absence..

An interesting turn of events....

But i still see Ekweremadu going to the other side..

Who knows, maybe he'd have gone since but still mulling over it...

This is all you could say after all the verbiage?
You're a big fool.

You biafrauds don't ever contribute anything meaningful to a discussion apart from emotional tantrums.
Very repulsive set of clumsy schleps.

Ekweremadu has already been groomed to take over from Saraki - so I heard.....but let's keep watching.

In theory, he has to appear in court to face his trial but I fully expect him not to appear in court that day. This is a man who twice had bench warrants issued against him and nothing happened. Saraki would also say that he has a pressing national assignment and because of that he can't afford to appear in court.
Truth is that he is higher than the court. The CCT is like a dog that can only bark without biting.

Who iTTed him before the grooming?

In a case where the senate president is not available, the deputy takes over. That is how it is done.
Well, i care very less

In a criminal case, especially where The Federal govt has a special interest? I don't think so, not unless you are deliberately under estimating the power of the executive.

TINUBU & BUHARI....... I swear if they can eventually slam the obstinate Saraki, I will celebrate this with my hommies and I will start taking Buhari serious.

Anybody can preside as long Ameachi nomination is not confirmed
