2. The hope of the Senate President, David Mark was dashed Tuesday morning after leadership o the Peoples Democratic Party  adopted Senator Bukola Saraki for the same position.
Mark was hoping to leverage on the ongoing  crisis rocking the ruling APC to emerge number 3 man in the nation but the party leadership rather settled for aggrieved Saraki for the post.
3. Latest report from Benue State has it that the political hammer of the All Progressives
Congress in the state has landed on Justice Utsaha,Chief JKN Waku, Barr. Emmanuel Jime, Anweh, Mrs Dorothy Mato and others.

4. The outgoing Senate led by David Mark, has come under heavy lashing by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, which described the Senate’s unprecedented passage of 46 bills in 10 minutes last Wednesday as a “reckless path to lawmaking”.
The 46 Bills had earlier been passed by the House of Representatives and transmitted to the Senate for concurrence.

5. There are reports that the deputy speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly (BNHA), Hon James Okefe is currently running for his dear life following serious threats by some persons to oust him.
