The Moment the new senate president, Bukola Saraki swore-in Senator Remi Tinubu was epic .....
In case you missed it, The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, yesterday, administered the oath of office and allegiance on Senator Remi Tinubu and 27 other (APC) senators who missed the oath taking during the inauguration of the chamber on Tuesday.

| The third most powerful man in Nigeria right now....According to the constitution,IF for any reason at all the President is impeached,the senate president,the third most powerful man in Nigeria automatically becomes President. |
The 28 senators, who are mainly members of the Senate Unity Forum, led by Senator Ahmed Lawan, mobilised themselves to the chamber as early as8.30am on Wednesday, waiting for the Senate President to formally swear them in as senators.
The senators, after the votes and proceedings of the previous legislative day were adopted, took turn to take their oaths by reading it out aloud and appending their signatures.

| This looks like Senator Gbenga Ashafa my number one..lol |
 |
| What a contrast...hair versus hairless..lol |
According to Punch reportage; By protocol, each of the newly sworn-in senators were expected, after taking their oaths, to present a copy of their certificates of return to the Senate President and in turn, shake hands with him.
The protocol was duly followed by others, except Mrs. Tinubu, who refused to shake hands with Saraki but merely showed him her Certificate of Return and walked out on the Senate President.

ReplyDeleteGod is not asleep. I'm still laughing. Get ready for surprises
ReplyDeleteMadam Oluremi is very arrogant, Why not give him the damn handshake and fly? Her hubby has so influenced her negatively...But truth be told, this Buki Saraki na fine man. Have you guys heard his voice too?Hehehehehe.
ReplyDeleteHe has a nice voice too?
DeleteOoh my days, I think I have a new crush...
Hahaha! Didn't knw she would ve been sworn in by Saraki, tot she sed no election was made as far as she's concerned. Kai! These people dealt with dem. Sai Saraki! Sai Ekweremadu. Kikikiki
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Didn't knw she would ve been sworn in by Saraki, tot she sed no election was made as far as she's concerned. Kai! These people dealt with dem. Sai Saraki! Sai Ekweremadu. Kikikiki
ReplyDeleteNa dem sabi jare. Her handshake amounts to nothing in the scheme of things. I trust this would not make Saraki shudder.. no one cares. If she likes she can denounce her senatorial slot and let another willing person take over. No one has time for pity party or whipping of sentiments in this era. You are either in or out. Is it their family inheritance?
ReplyDeleteThank God Saraki is a sharp intelligent man, he cannot be bullied by anyone. Democracy is here to stay. Any aggrieved party can initiate a redress in court. Lawyers are having a busy season because of these politicians. Did somebody say that Jonathan is having a laugh? You bet.
I luv ur response...
DeleteSisi,i have been looking out for your comment here..
DeleteCan you kindly go to the next post and let me read your opinion with reasons.... about a coalition government.

ReplyDeleteHer attitude was uncalled for...
She shld deal with d current situation.
The problem with women is that they are governed by emotions and they are slaves to passions. If women were to fight wars, they would never end. FFK
ReplyDeletePassions

DeleteYou dreaming anony, you will see her soon.
Do you want to bully her?lol
DeleteWelcome but enough with your painful comments.
She was been rude and deliberately stupid
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha whatever that suits them. Dey should get to work, hand shaking or not isn't our concern.
ReplyDeleteE fun mi lorijin onike oh!! I love drama
ReplyDeletelorijin
DeleteDrama
ReplyDeleteYes o, she gave him her smile which is enough. But I know deep down something else is going through her mind.
ReplyDelete@stella what kinda reportage is that?
ReplyDeleteYes he's d 3rd most powerful man in d country,but if for any reason d president is impeached,d vice takes over and not d senate president. The senate president only takes over if there misdemeanour surrounding d whole brouhaha and d vice isn't considered fit to take over.
But then again,i like the drama that would in the long run ensue...the senate just got more interesting
When the president is impeached the Senate president takes over but God forbid if the president dies his vice takes Over
DeleteCongrats Sir!
ReplyDeletePlease make Nigerians proud
Babe, he should make himself proud na
DeleteWe will make ourselves proud!
How are you jare?
Hahaha...
DeleteZizzy nwayi oma, I am fine hun
Don't see anything wrong in what senator Remi did.
ReplyDeletePlease visit my blog Www.trendwithgloria.blogspot.com
Whether handshake or smile, all na wash wash.
ReplyDeleteLolzzz
ReplyDeleteThat's not a smile even.
The only person smiling is the ambitious Saraki!
Nigerian politics just got sweeter! I love!
Who cares
ReplyDeleteSome people are so ignorant sha!! Alot of women aren't comfortable shaking men especially muslim women i don't shake either (don't know where those hands have been). You people are taking this handshake thing too far! am sure Saraki and Oluremi Tinubu will joke about this new conspiracy theory the media has come up with. Think about it, in the real sphere of things the handshake doesn't matter!
ReplyDeleteI have maintained that Saraki is an ambitious, calculating and manipulative individual and subservient to no one. This I believe Apc should be aware o; Saraki will one day make a play for the presidency as he has always been interested and is also smart to know that he cannot get it through an election but as senate president... go figure.
ReplyDeleteAt this rate, anything saraki wants Saraki gets. Its just a matter of when IMHO
Thank you. You seem to capture it well.
DeleteBukola is very manipulative and shady.
Na siddon look we dey. Let's see whether he will last 4years.
Stranger, your head dey there I swear. If you see a snake and Saraki, aim at Saraki first. Too desperate, mschewww
DeleteIke Ekweremadu i'm happy you came back. First time opposition is deputy senate president. Remi, if you like shake him,if you like don't. As we speak, that young man is more powerful than your husband. He cannot be tossed around. He's the number 3 man. So tell your husband to pipe low.
ReplyDeleteMore dramas are coming.
ReplyDeleteObara n'ekwu okwu shah
Ha wee sacrificia 100 virgins na Kano maka ochicho.
Ndi APC na dibia ha si Arabia... Chukwu mere Nigeria ebere.
Some of them told us not to travel that Bubu must surely win that everything has been settled.
Egwu jiri kwalam small but God pass them.
Huhn???
DeleteAnon, I si gini??? I no nu ura ka I na ekwu esi okwu? Obara Jesus!!!
DeleteLawan who actually vied for the office against Saraki, shook hands with his opponent. It doesn’t mean he has endorsed him and I’m sure he will still explore means to oust him if possible.
ReplyDeleteWhen Tambuwal defected to APC and retained speakership, these same APC members said there was nothing wrong with a member from the minority party leading the House. Why was it ok when it they did it and now wrong because someone else has done so??? Real double standards!!!
Who exactly was disgraced? The lady who behaved like a spoilt, immature child or the man who extended his hand as is required during the process he was presiding over?. That’s the problem with women in politics : overly emotional
Why are u making mountain out of a molehill?if she decides not to shake him its no big deal at least she has done what is required of her.
ReplyDeleteWho dem help?
ReplyDeleteStella , please clarify your statement, if the president is impeached, or incapacitated, should it not be the VP that takes over as #2 in line to the office before the #3 in line?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Bukola! Remi whether u shake or not it doesn't change what's on ground.
ReplyDeleteYou re wrong Stella, if the President is impeached, the VP takes over.
ReplyDeleteIf the president 'dies' VP follows
DeleteIf the president is 'impeached by law' senate president takes over
I'm shocked most Nigerians dnt knw the rules of law yet they open there mouths everywhere they r dicussing politics
anty stellz of life, u have given me patriotic homework today bcos of ur statement. its not true na, how can d senate president take over from the president when the VP is there? so, i rumaged thru the 1999 constitution to back up my claims nd in section 146, it stated thus:
ReplyDelete(1) The Vice-President shall hold the office of President if the office of President becomes vacant by reason of death or resignation, impeachment, permanent incapacity or the removal of the President from office for any other reason in accordance with section 143 of this Constitution.
(2) Where any vacancy occurs in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (1) of this section during a period when the office of Vice-President is also vacant, the President of the Senate shall hold the office of President for a period of not more than three months, during which there shall be an election of a new President, who shall hold office for the unexpired term of office of the last holder of the office.
(3) Where the office of Vice-President becomes vacant:-
(a) by reason of death or resignation, impeachment, permanent incapacity or removal in accordance with section 143 or 144 of this Constitution;
(b) by his assumption of the office of President in accordance with subsection (1) of this section; or
(c) for any other reason,
the President shall nominate and, with the approval of each House of the National Assembly, appoint a new Vice-President.
fellow bv's, Ignorance is not bliss. GET INFORMED!!
Two opposition party to wrk 2geda?I tink I like it,...ll her hand shake add a cubit of flesh 2 his body?
ReplyDeleteClassic machavellian move by Saraki and his PDP "cronies", seductively crafty! LOL! I haven't stopped laughing since the surprising turn of events. It goes to show that people are at their weakest just after a victorious encounter. While basking in jubilation and the confidence of winners, the last thing on their minds is a counter-attack. So if and when it happens, they are almost always caught off guards. This will surely teach people never to take things for granted, not even the minutest detail. Like the saying goes, "the devil is in the details". Never allow your confidence cause you to underestimate the opposition. Defeat can be very motivating especially when the vanquished has tasted power.

As for Senator Remi's refusal to shake hands with the new Senator, I think that was very unprofessional and petty. When she was the 1st lady of Lagos State, she shook hands with both sexes and it's all captured in video clips so the religious excuse is rather porous, besides, she's supposed to be a christian. Perhaps she has been feeling oppressed by the way the new administration appears to keep sidetracking her hubby. Obviously, they were expecting much more for the "role" they played in making APC the ruling party, so this unpleasant surprise was just one straw too many for the already strained Camel's back. Oh well!...who knows how one would react under such circumstances? Unfortunately, her actions were captured by the videographers and it is the "hot clip" of the day, probably the week as well.
