The Peoples Democratic Party has adopted Senator Bukola Saraki for the position of Senate President.
In the same vein, the PDP has also adopted Mr. Yakubu Dogara for the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The party, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in Abuja on Tuesday morning at 1:50am, therefore urged its senators and reps to act accordingly by voting for these two men.
These two were not those adopted by the ruling All Progressives Congress for the positions.
While the APC nominated Senator Ahmed Lawan for the office of the Senate President, it also asked its members to support Femi Gbajabiamila as Speaker.
Members of the National Assembly are due to elect these officers and others today in Abuja.
The then opposition party had refused to vote Mrs. Mulikat Akande for the Speaker in the last House of Representatives but joined angry members of the PDP to rally support for Aminu Tambuwal, who eventually became the Speaker.
Tambuwal later defected to the APC where he contested and won as the Governor of Sokoto State. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

My advice to PDP supporting d candidature of Saraki dat they shld equally betray him let him kn d effect of betraying d PDP in d last elections even d CHANGE was d WILL of God
ReplyDeleteI do not really know what you mean by betrayal but wheather he betrayed or not saraki is not the chnage we are looking for... please let me remind you that PDPwas never a political party, it was a cult that was using the frederal fund to fund themselves, now that they cannot get the federal fund they will be no more, they cannot fund thenselves watchout!!!
DeleteSaraki will become Senate President not only on the support and strength of PDP ( the dying party ) but on his own Clout and sagasity while Gbajabiamila will become the speaker on APC strengh and to avoid power condensation to the North . Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Fulani and yoruba race Power Change
ReplyDeleteI just dey laugh ooo! Where is Asiwaju in all these?
DeleteSaraki will surely fail.
ReplyDeleteBy the end of this four year, he will be dead politically.
He has forgotten that Nigerians are wiser now than yesterday.
He can not draw the hand of the clock back.
Any reasonable person should know that he is chasing shadow.
He wants to make himself popular by vying for the post of senate president.
Down deep in his inner most heart he knows it is not possible. Trust me
All hail PDP. Whether u like it or not PDP is d party to beat, all her endorsement had worked for den.
