Senators belonging to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and their All Progressives Congress, APC, were, yesterday, preparing for a showdown over different positions on the confirmation of two of 16 remaining ministerial nominees.
It was, however, learnt that Senate President Bukola Saraki was determined to weigh in on behalf of the former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi and the ministerial nominee from Cross River State, Usani Uguru. The duo had been caught up in a grudge war mounted by PDP senators.
Amaechi is held in contempt by the PDP Senate caucus for his role in the defeat of the former ruling party in the last round of elections. Uguru brought himself into the bad book of the PDP Senate caucus when, during his screening, he said “God forbid” to a question as to his membership of the PDP.
Following the end of the screening of the nominees yesterday, the PDP Senate caucus held a meeting where they reportedly took a position against the confirmation of Amaechi. The senators were said to have resolved not to consider Amaechi’s nomination unless the report of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges on the petitions filed against the former Rivers State governor was brought forward for consideration first.....

ReplyDeleteOriegwu
Exactly
DeleteHelp me ask them. Now Saraki would have to take the fall
DeleteThe sooner PDP comes to realise that they are the minority group, plus they should focus on moving forward the better for them. All they have been deliberating is Amaechi. Dont they have better things to talk about. At least Amaechi decamped and stayed put. They should go and rest.
ReplyDeleteAbi o
DeleteNa dem sabi
ReplyDeleteWahala dey ooo..
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha..
ReplyDeleteI love this...
ReplyDeleteSaraki knows better not to annoy the PDP senator's. I trust him to do what's right by not confirming Amaechi the thief.
Like ur father. Idiot.
DeleteU couldnt be more right...well said!!!
DeleteChi, we all know amaechi will be confirmed. Saraki won't want to go against that dictator that calls himself a president. E no concern me again. Let them run d country with all d thieves alive if they so wish. O ga eme ha vum nanya
DeleteThe president is not a dictator, he is a good man, a GOD sent to deliver Nigerians from backwardness and he will live, rule and bring good things to pass in this country in JESUS name. I pray for a strong health for him and his VP

ReplyDeletePdp wailing wailers.
ReplyDeleteSaraki in between SATAN and d deep blue sea,THAT'S WAT U GET WEN U RE DESPERATE IN LIFE
ReplyDeleteSaraki doesn't av choice San to confirm Amaechi. APC is d majority in d hse, plus he himself knows he has his case pending. That's wat hapuns to olojukokoro like him, in his quest for pwr he sort solace with d opposition. ....it's jst glaring dat Saraki is pdp by heart and APC by paper.

ReplyDeleteI had the weirdest dream last night. I mean, I haven't finished dreaming about myself or the Queen of England, it had to be Nigeria. Dreamt the country was in chaos and the current president Buhari had been overthrown. People were running for their lives, like I've never seen anything like it.
ReplyDeleteThen, the youth (all men and a lot of them) entered what in my dream was called a government house but where the President lived, with machetes, long knives, sticks, guns and right behind them were middle aged men dressed in suits and older men in traditional wear who looked like politicians.
Luckily the President escaped but they kept destroying things and then an announcement came on that the military were now in control....
Boy, must have been the late night meal I had.
Have a good day peeps.
I see your dream coming to pass and I don't know why. Na sit down look oh.

ReplyDeleteThey have no choice as regards Amechi if it's only bcuz he supported this sitting administration; every individual has the right to be affiliated to the political party of his/her choice.
