THE FACT IS THAT YOU CANNOT CHOOSE TO BE A SLAVE AND STILL WANT TO CLAIM THE BENEFITS AND PRIVILEDGES THAT COMES WITH THE THRONE OF A KING. in my language> a ki je meji po laba alade, ka je isu tan ka tu la tu jeyan ikan la fowo mu> WHICH MEANS YOU CANNOT EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT! IS EITHER tambuawal eat yam or he eat pounded yam!

elohorayodele:
how can someone from the minority remain a speaker when he was chosen as a speaker when he was in the majority. Abi is 17 now greater than 19? Goodbye tambuwal

prezidooo:
This is not the first time Law makers are crosss capeting and noting happend, so the reason why it is happening now is cos the acting IG is A PDP member.

Ebukaokeke5:
Emeka Ihedioha cannot b d speaker of the house of rep. because the speaker had not been impeachd.PDP don't have the 2/3 of the house votes needed to impeach him.The IGP should be suen 2 court 4 taken actions that contradicts the constitution of Nigeria by withdrawing the security of a serving public servant in hierachy of the speaker of the house of assembly who had not been impeached n found unworthy of his office with 2/3rd votes of the house of assembly.As a matter of fact he should be jail 4 contradicting due process in effecting his duties in the state.If Emeka Ihedioha takes the responsibility of the speaker of the house without the due process of impeaching the honourable speaker Tambuwal.which dey can't.He'd find his body destroyed within the day.The battle had just began.PDP's downfall in the state is nw.APC put on ur strenght n fyt 4 justice.We r taking over the state from federal come 2015.PDP's corrupt propaganda can't stop the movement.Q.E.D.

okazuu:
let me ask a question why will a minority still be a speaker when their are still majority in the house he should just do the needful and save all this news about him.

tuyi19:
y

you know you vomit rubish that is why you siad people should not quote you, i quote you now and let us see who will die miserable within 7 days, PDP did not make Tanbuwal the Speaker and the constitution did not say the speaker must be from the majority, it says it must be from among the members. so it very wrong for Jonathan and his errand boys to withdraw his security men, he should have allowed the people that made him speaker to remove him. LAWLESSNESS is another name of Jonathan, i am dissapointed in him.

Eziachi:

Law is different from personal feeling. In law you can declare favour for your enemy, not because you want to but because you have to or you landed yourself with anarchy.
Nigeria is too complex for me to understand sometimes, It's not the IG's job to decide who defect and who didn't. PDP can easily come to the house, ask him to resign and if he doesn't they can impeach him with their majority.
Speakers position is not the exclusive of the party in majority anywhere in the world, it just a normal human feeling that you control when you are in majority, not the law. He is not the speaker of PDP.
That is how it should be done and once that is done, they should write the IG and he then act based on the law, if the law stipulated that he doesn't merit security detail. Then so be it.

But because of politics of personal feelings and intimidation, abuse of position and power in Nigeria, people do things in a ways that look like the old Abacha days. If this IG is so on point with the law, why wasn't the same treatment visited on governor Mimiko?
Until public servant realized that they they don't work for politician but the nation, things like this will keep on happening. Am not saying that the speaker deserved to have security detail but let thing be done in civilized and lawful way and without being selective.

You want to eat ur cake and have it abi Mr tambuwal.. See let me tell u defecting from the PDP to APC is like taking 5 steps backwards ask amaechi d moment he defected he became el rufai's driver... A word is enough for the wise

chukwudi44:
The IGP is simply abiding by the dictates of the 1999 constitution.he is enforcing the law he swore to uphold,s it is very much in order

CrinkumCrankum:


They did not interpret the law, they Just ENFORCE it which is their primary duty...you are a LEANER....Politics is not for babies

Muscomide:



Well said. Like Obama said, what our people need are strong institutions, not strong men. The Speaker remains the Speaker until another is selected.

Ok! Tambuwal u don hear am na, our Constitution don talk am. Oya all those security mek una run go Emeka Ihedioha side

amsad19:


Shebi u no sabi read? Did PDP sponsor tambuwal? He bought the ticket with his own money so this is clear dictatorship

Iamdagreatguy:
Nonsense!!! Arrant Nonsense,
This IGP is just taking laws into his hand,,has the house impeached himhas the court declared his seat vacant,,,why can't the same thing be done to Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo who recently decamped to PDP.
One of the reason I don't like this PDP's government.
GEJ was my candidate in 2011,,time to correct my mistake.
Btw,wat does the constitution quoted says,,,the second paragraph gives room to decamp bt only on the ground that there is conflict or faction in d party.
Presently in sokoto there is faction in PDP,,,so why is the IGP taking laws into his own hands?

hansad:
Show which country a fellow from the minority party is elected or remains Speaker of Parliament. See as your mouth de run lie lie yara yara like that of Liar Mohammed of APC. PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND YOUR APC WILL NEVER FORGIVE A PARTY MEMBER THAT BEHAVES LIKE TAMBUWAL.

hardywaltz:
The function of the Police is not to interpret the provisions of the Constitution, that is the exclusive preserve of the Judiciary.
That said the section which the Forces Public Relations officer quoted has to do with Tambuwal's eligibility as a legislator which is a matter currently before the courts.

In the eyes of the law Tambuwal is the substantive speaker of the house until he has been removed in accordance with the provisions of the CFR as amended.

However if PDP is confident that they control the votes of the house, let the Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha reconvene the house; (3/4) members need to sign the notice of extra - ordinary meeting and 2/3 majority is needed to form a qurom. And formally commence impeachment proceedings against the Speaker.

PDP knows it can't muster the needed votes so they have resorted to self help which is equivalent to Jungle justice.

richardjemedafe1:
Tambuwal should be honourable enough to resign
his position as d speaker which he became by d
grace of being a member of PDP.only members of
d majority parties are elected speakers of their
houses.tambuwal can not bring the treachery and
mischief of APC axis of evil to d national
Assembly .if he failed to resign voluntarily, he must
resign by d force of law and constitution of d
federal republic of Nigeria. tambuwal is a
treacherous mischief laddened traitor and must be
given the traitors reception.




Long llive FRN...

. Is better u read the constitution than to publish your ignorance here

maestroferddi:
Most Nigerians are painfully ignorant of court/legal processes.

The court is not a factory that manufactures cases but only adjudicates on matters brought before it.

Let me illustrate: assuming you saw the mob hitting a person under the very eyes of the police or other law enforcement agents who apparently did nothing to stop the attack.
Do you now dish out your own blows just because others did same and went scot-free?

Let's assume thaat the victim recognised you and took you to court, would it be a defence for you that others did same and were not punished?

The court will convict you on the merit of the fact that you committed a/an offence/ malfeasance and would care less that your victim did not indict or chose to ignore others who committed the same offence like you.

Whether every lawmaker in Nigeria has defected to another party will not be the court's business if the injured party/parties did not seek redress in the court. The court only considers cases presented before it so the allusion that others have been doing same but apparently escaped censure is not only naïve but lame.

why not get a copy of the constitution then.
