Yes yes Senate.

As it stands, our government has just one arm. cos the other two arms are in the pocket of the executive

Nice one. The sole tenure will be renewed more than two times.

Wasn't expecting anything different. Separation of power doesn't exit in Nigeria.

The legislative arm is just an extension of the executive. The only time the legislatures would counter the executive is during budget appropriation - constituency projects

Something that's already taken effect with or without the senate. This is just to give the whole farce a sense of legality and not to make Tinubu look foolish. We all know Tinubu will have his way with or without the senate who are just there to warm the chairs! undecided

Big question still unanswered - does the president reserve the right to suspend an elected governor?

Deed has been done.

Nairalanders, don't back a side in this mess.

On the one hand, it is obvious APC has had a hand in this.....very clear. And Wike seems not to know that political godfatherism...is out of date.

On the other hand, a governor that would orchestrate the destruction of the house of assembly... is a future authoritarian in the making.

We can just sit and observe. I hope the people of Rivers are watching. Maybe it may be time to try a new party next time...one that has nothing to do with pdp, apc, and lp.

I've always ired the North for their power of timing and taking advantage of rare opportunities.

There's no better time than now for you d south if u are a Northerner, do the #30 Days Challenge" show the South that u are with them.

Please don't make this another #endsars that you guys abandoned, align ourselves now and I guarantee you, u won't protest alone ever again like u did during #Hunger protest.

East, West, North and South...align now, fix Nigeria now! #EnoughisEnough

As rightly predicted, as long as Jagaban had sworn in the sole yesterday, it means everything is done and dusted. Today's plenary was just a formality.
Let those group of expired politicians and bunch of losers holding press conferences go and hug a nearby transformer.





After God na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

Good! The precedence has been set. All the anti-democratic and unconstitutionality never seen in history has been broken by the APC govt. Now posterity beckons. Whatever goes around also comes around.

Tinubu is 20 steps ahead of his detractors.


If you still think Tinubu will not win 2027 election, you are just fooling yourself, the best shot for any opposition for presidency is 2031, 2027 is gone.

10 of elruafai, Atiku, Peter obi can not stop Jagaban.

Where are the wailers, come and cry your eyes out.
