Senator Bukola Saraki has emerged the President of Nigeria’s 8th Senate as he was unopposedly elected. Following the announcement of the result, the ruling party, APC have issued out a statement, describing the political scenario “totally unacceptable and the highest level of indiscipline and treachery”.

A segment of Nigerians, who are political watchers have also lend their voices on the ongoing brouhaha in the Hallowed chambers. Some of them who were interviewed on the social media have given personal submissions.

Ogundoro Oluwakayode:

I am dead sure Saraki cannot get away with such abusive disregards to the party decision. I see it as a great threat to APC lasting in power. We are back in PDP's rule and its profligacy,corruption, et cetera.

Victor Damitan:

In my observation, Saraki will decamp back to PDP and take a shot at the presidency but from what I see now, he has just dug his political grave because those he is playing with are real masters of the game, Bukola has committed a political suicide, time will tell.

Jide Jegede:

I think the unfolding scenarios are pointing to the fact that the PDP goons are not yet finished with Nigeria. Vigilance and appropriate actions at appropriate times are what we need to keep them in check. Let us just wait and see.

Ibrahim Babatunde:

The party cannot always have its ways by all means. Let the party also respect the wishes of the people. The election of Saraki shows that even if the party had not conducted the "mockery" election and allowed Abubakar Bukola Saraki and Lawan to slug it out, this is the  same way Saraki would have won. I salute his dogged fighting spirit.

Jokotogun Folorunsho:

What do Nigerians expect from Saraki but confusion ? By birth, he is half Yoruba & half 'Northerner'. Onijamba, Kosekoseiye (ajao), spoiler & traitor. He & Other traitors in APC must be punished.

Olatunde Dondowa:

He didn't box himself into the corner at all. Must Tinubu always have his ways. At least, somebody must know how well to play his cards too to win atimes. Afterall, Saraki has PDP blood, APC flesh.

Deinde Idowu:

It is pay back for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He conspired with renegade PDP members to make Tambuwal the speaker of the House of Reps. Now, Sariki conspired with remnants of PDP to become Senate president unopposed while Tinubu and his Unity Forum senators where somewhere else hatching their plot. However, the game is up. To the bargain, a PDP senator, Ikhdioha, is the deputy Senate president. APC has started to unravel.
