Update: Saraki In Political Coup, Becomes Senate President

The fastest political coup in Nigeria's recent history has just been executed by Senator Bokula Saraki as he shunned the meeting called by President Muhammadu Buhari with all APC lawmakers and followed the PDP lawmakers and a few APC lawmakers to declare himself as Senate President.

Saraki was nominated by Senator Ahmed Yerima and seconded by Senator Dino Melaye.

Before the first set of APC lawmakers would get to Senate chamber, Saraki has already been sworn in.
