Bro I disagree with your opinion though am not happy with the way and manner of pdp approach to this issue but there is nothing one can do because it is what we all (as a result of majority carry the vote) want and be clamouring for. The use of brute force approach, disregarding the stipulated laid down rule to follow.

Back to issue, Bros one can not be a speaker of the house without first being a member of the house. The rule says the speaker must be appointed among and from within the entire membership of the house.

Tambuwal would have score an A+ if he had honourably resign his position after defecting knowing what the law says concerning defecting from a party that's not in division or merger.

Almost four years he was in that place and he didn't occurred to him and his associates to do something about that clause in the law, instead of concentrating their effort on making laws that will benefit all and making sure effective check and balance system was put in place they were busy pointing accusing finger at the executive and ridiculed him every opportunity they get.

I keep saying to those who have ears and i will keep hammering it "Jonathan is not the problem of Nigeria, neither is he a bad ruler and neither is he a saint but among them all he is an angel"

To solve the problems of this country, we need to check the system currently in place and the first step to that is to thoroughly revise the constitution and who are the people to do " the lawmaker which tambuwal happened to be a or once a member.

Vote in buhari tomorrow, the problem will still persist and get worsen. The way things are it will be very hard even for a saint to come out without a blemish.

Tambuwal is no longer a member of the house of Rep. It's not a political issue but a legal (Constitutional issue)

By Virtue of section Section 68 (1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
The section reads, “A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member if -
(g) being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected.”

Ex speaker contravened section (68)(1)(g) by defecting when there is a subsisting court injunction to the effect that there is no division in the PDP

security details is in order. Section 68 (1)(g) made it clear that a lawmaker who defects when there is no division in his party shall vacate his seat.
“The legal advice is that the operational word there is ‘shall.’ That section of the constitution is self-
“There is a subsisting court injunction that there is no division in the PDP and that there is no merger.
“It therefore means that based on that constitutional provision, Tambuwal is no longer a member of the House. Since he is no longer a member, then he cannot be the speaker.

“The withdrawal of Ex- speaker Tambuwal security details is in order. He will even be stopped from entering his office. He is no longer a member of the House.

Lmao.....

You are wrong, until a competent court of law declare his seat vacant.

We need to test that part of the constitution in the law courts....and not by individual pronouncements

akinsadeez:
Everybody has now turned into a constitutional juggernaut, quoting constitution here and there. What all these hasty analyst of the constitution are overlooking is the fact that the much vaunted section 68 concerns every member of the house, not specifically the office of the speaker. You cannot have a partial implementation of the law. For Tambuwal's seat to be declared vacant it means you have to compulsorily declare vacant the seats of all those members who have defected from PDP to APC and APC to PDP in both the house of Rep and the Senate.

Furthermore Jonathan has to cautioned about his untoward penchant for arbitrarily withdrawing security details of those who fall out with politically. This was the same thing he did to Rotimi Amaechi back then. It is not good for a president to be misusing his powers so blatantly.

LMAyedun:
The case of a Governor is quite different,because of their immunity. And the fact that APC, LP or APGA has refused to take action against their lost members, doesn't mean PDP can't... The constitution is very clear on this.
Tambuwal is no longer a member of the House of Rep not to talk of being the Speaker.

When Sen. Uche Chukwumerije defected from the party in whose platform he was elected to the Senate, was his seat declared vacant?! You said APC, LP and APGA are silent about the issue of defection, do you expect them to just go to the Secretariat and declare that the seats of the decampees have been declared vacant?! If NO, why would the PDP order the NPF to withdraw the Security Details of the Speaker because he defected?! When has the NPF started taking the responsibbility of the Judiciary?! Guy, go siddon joor!

37 members earlier defected from PDP to APC, they took the case to the court and discovered nothing has been done against them. They felt if they try same in the case of Tambuwal, they'd also lose. So, they decided to withdraw his security details claiming that he breached Section 68(1)g of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). They should have also said the 37 lawmakers that had earlier decamped, seats have been declared vacant and see what would happen in the House!

chukwudi44:

Tambuwal is the one that will go to court. Emeka ihedioha would reconvene the house next week

ilugunboy:



Why are you getting excited unnecessarily? Why not let Emeka reconvene the house with the mace before starting this your frenzy?

donphilopus:
gej till 2019

chukwudi44:


Let's wait till next week then.

BTW what stops Tambuwal from reconvening the house and summon the IGP to protest the assault on his office if he still has any powers left?

Afterall he is supposed to be the fourth most powerful politician in Nigeria

ilugunboy:


He adjourned the house sitting till Dec 03rd.

Let see if there can be any plenary session in the lower chambers before then......una dey play will inferno that will consume everybody....if you all think that Tambuwal will go down easily like that ...you must be the most politically naive person in the world...


PS:

Now we are reading that the PDP has instructed Emeka Ihedioha ( Presidency boy - boy ) to write Tambuwal to reconvene the house. Why are they asking him to reconvene if they can do that without him? Why can't Ihedioha reconvene without recourse to Tambuwal?

PDP and Presidency desperation will lead them to self-destruct.

chukwudi44:


bros next week is not far.No need to brag about this.BTW to your point did they also write to him to seek his permission before withdrawing his security details abd delisting him from the FG website?

Ibofool, am only quoting u for record purpose.
Surely u know what will happen if ur boast doesn't come to past.
