In short, they do not want a state of emergency because it affects their interests in the region.

Ok, we've heard.

state of emergency allow the president to preach the constitution and over turn the legisltaive arm. like in the case of USSR. he dissolve the country. he can suspends a few normal functions of the executive, legislative and judicial power.

He can use state of emergency to dissolve the country. it is call pushing the button.

if he uses state of the emergency to dissolve the country. this is likely how the unit may be. base on how the people may vote. i may be wrong.

It's not a big deal. The same thing happened when Obasanjo declared emergency rule in Plateau State. The National Assembly stated that the President does not have the constitutional powers to unilaterally declare a state of emergency. The National Assembly must vote to declare a state of emergency before it becomes legal.

However, the PDP controls both the executive and the legislature. The National Assembly will eventually vote in favour of emergency rule. They just want to be respected.

When Obasanjo subsequently declared emergency rule in Ekiti, he made it clear that it would not take effect until the National Assembly voted in favour of the measure.

Eko Ile: Talk about clueless and incompetent president, incompetent and unqualified advisers with lame duck and worthless assembly and senate.


Who is even qualified enough to interpret the Nigerian constitution, uphold and defend the same constitution? Not the Nigerian presidency, not the Nigerian justice minister or presidential adviser, not the Nigerian congress, not the toothless Nigerian Bar Association and definitely not the Nigerian military. The Nigerian military is out there conducting a lawless and unconstitutional military operation while the clueless and unpatriotic politicians fiddles around aimlessly.



What a damn shame...

payless:


If you agree with what is happening now, then Jonathan is your choice. If you want things to change, then whoever the opposition presents is who we have to go with in order to get PDP out of the way. If we don't give the opposition the chance to change things, how do we expect the country to change? So, we have to try something else to know if it is better than what you have. All eyes on the opposition to do well. Look at the performances of AC Governors in the states controlled by PDP since 1999. The AC governors have out-performed the PDP Governors with what they have done so far within three years.

We won't vote party, we will vote in terms of personality.no be party dey work,na pesin dey work.

The constitution is sacred and any deviation must be tabled and sanctioned before the Nigerian legislature.

The judiciary is not constitutionally sanctioned to make or change laws, that's the responsibility of the legislature, the judiciary only interpret laws laws passed and amended by the legislatures aka lawmakers..

Read up on the 3 arms of government. The executive, the legislative and the judiciary for relevant understanding before your next post..

Nigeria is not going anywhere with so many ignorant and uneducated so called leaders of tomorrow..

Again, do they still teach social studies and civic education in our schools?

The original posts clearly states, corroborated by law-makers and lawyers alike, that what the President has done, only amounts to "stating an intention of declaring a SOE". Until it is gazetted and approved by the House, only then we can say there is a SOE. The mass movement of troops, whilst a tad unusual, does not in any way signify a SOE.

Anyhow you choose to see it - Mr. President has done no wrong!

Some of you might argue that they don't listen, but your comment might in one way or the other pass a message to them.

Mr. Ndoma-Egba: "There is nowhere in the constitution the President is required to publish the gazette within a specific time," he said; before asserting that "For now, no provision of the constitution has been breached and there is no constitutional crisis."


The above is the comment made by the deputy senate president. Eko Ile, Payless and Neo-XVI, you left me wondering what your real problems are. The topic is still State of Emergency declared by GEJ but you are busy talking about removing PDP, electing Buhari and opposition. Before I proceed, note that I am one of those who criticized GEJ and still do but as far as dealing with Boko Haram is concerned GEJ has taken the right step. If your bad son suddenly surprises you with one good act, do you condemn that one good act? I guess you are core politicians who have refused to grow to know that opposition does not mean condemn anything and everything proffered by the opposition party. In fact, your integrity is boosted when you commend a worthy course taken by your opponent to help the people. Who do you hope to attract when you are not even feeling the pulse of the people you are wooing? I am beginning to think that you are more interested in winning the hearts of the north, nothing wrong with that, but they are for now evil and not sincere and need a clean up.

Did you listen to El Rufai on Channels commending GEJ for his action? Now that's magnanimity. He is still an opponent but with that edge. This kind of opposition is attractive not yours.
