vanunu:



U are a big fool, that is how u people are destroying nigeria . The constitution is very explicit on that. Most u go to court on every issue

modhream:

And section 68(2) is very clear on who enforces section 68(1) as a whole,I didn't see the IGP mentioned there as one of them.
To whom brain is given,sense is expected.I guess that don't hold true in u n ur ilk.

wakacome:
why didn't the police do their job during the illegal impeachment at ekiti state of assembly?or the police was waiting for the court at ekiti?hypocrisy!!!!!!

Sunnybobo3:


Thr constitution is very clear on the role of the Nigerian police in the society and doesn't have to mention them in each section.

A little reading would have saved you from embarassing yourself in a public forum.

vanunu:



That is another issue, the people of ekiti should fight for justice.

Sunnybobo3:


Section 68 (g) (1) is very clear and unambiguous. Maybe the police should also wait for the court to declare someone caught robbing a robber before arresting him.

chukwudi44:


continue to dream on!! The IGP is not going anywhere!!! The APC gate jumpers in the house does not have the powers to remove him

Demdem:


But the same constitution didn't regard former APGA reps that decamped to pdp as ex members eh.
Hypocrite, run along now and go find ur gullible kind.

NgeneUkwenu:


That is Jonathan's version of democracy!

wakacome:
hello ooooo,it is the COURT that has the right to interpret the constitution and not the IG.....so why is the IG doing the job of the court??

Obiagelli:
Only in my country will a police officer raise his voice over elected members of the house of assembly. Nonsense

We have a problem of institutionalised corruption in the system, and now Jonathan has institutionalised impunity amongst our security agencies. This is really terrible and portend grave danger for our budding democracy !! Since when did it become the duty of the police chief to interpret the constitution

The damage Jonathan's style of politics/leadership has injected into our national life would take years to undo!!

I weep for my country.

wakacome:
I saw the news on TVC this afternoon,on the video clip the IGP even said that the tear gas was not fired at the house of assembly members but what he said was that "the tear gas exploded"..can you imagine the big LIE from the inspector general of police??the man even went ahead to claim that tanbuwal didn't identify himself even when every nigerians that saw the video saw how tambuwal kept on introducing himself to the police on that day that he is the speaker....and by the way who is the IGP to interpret the law?what happened to the judiciary??is the IGP now the attorney general?

Acidosis:




I watched the same video on the same APC Channel called TVC; and this man has only succeeded in serving another pot of lies to the populace - mostly the clueless ones who digest everything Journalists tell them.

Only an illiterate will mis-interpret "exploded" in that contest as "mistake"

Why didn't you finish the statement?!

Exploded?! yet he said those responsible are currently being interrogated...

Why do you sets of nincompoop lie?

You are not better than TVC - the master craft of LIES, & Deceit.


I am yet to see Ibadan riot video on TVC; you lots should keep pursing shadows.

it is called "context"and not "contest"olodo....now back to the matter,assuming you have common sense then you should have just post the video clip here to really proof to people if I am lying or not...so that they will watch the video and see if I am right or wrong but your brain will not think that way because common sense is not always common...your username is "ACIDosis"so I want to believe that acid has destroyed your brain cells...

stop displaying your stupidity on a faceless forum...as if am the only nairalander that watched the video abi??or you assume other people are deaf or blind or did not listen to the IGP himself?keep fooling yourself......

The court only attends to the complainant, the APC refused to complain when their members defected....PDP presently has a case against its members who defected to the APC in the court. The court's inability to make a pronouncement on the matter is the reason for the current constitional crisis. In the developed world, the defection of any member of parliament automatically causes an election for the lawmaker's seat.

The reason is because people are expected to vote lawmakers based on their party leaning and party manifestos and not personality. When a conservative zone votes in a member because of his conservative party, and he defects to a liberal party later...it is believed that the conservative view of the majority of that zone is no longer being represented.

We need to get things right in this country so that democracy can work for us.

John Quentin Davies, Baron Davies of Stamford[2] (born 29 May 1944) is a British Labour Party politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Grantham and Stamford from 1987 to 2010. Originally elected as a Conservative, he defected to Labour on 26 June 2007. Davies announced in 2010 that he would not stand for re-election in the coming general election.

Sunnybobo3:


The constitution regards him as an ex member of the house of representatives.

agabusta:


You are wrong. That is not the legal position in the UK and US. Majority of them resign on personal convictions. There is a particular Senator tht defected from the Republicans in the US and even tilted a major voting to the Democrats' advantage. He didn't even resign. It's a popular story on the internet, if u care to do the research.

**u can read up the story of the US senator here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jeffords


For the UK house:



Kindly note the bolded, that there was no mention of a by-election as a result of his defection.

Adminisher:


Next time you post something like this please quote the section and sub section. I think you are wrong.
I agree morally Tambuwal should step down as speaker. The problem with that is that the PDP has actually secretly become the minority party in the House of Reps... and that coup is waiting to come later. When that happens Tambuwal would not need to step down.

mikeansy:
an all those calling Tambuwal an elected politician must recognise that as at yet, no one has voted for Tambuwal the APC member

The electorate has only had the chance to vote for Tambuwal the PDP member, which he is no longer

chukwudi44:
Bunch of idiotic reps.You invited a man to your house only to leave him and run away

so when he came to the house they should beat him or kill him?or they should tie him down inside the national assembly? comments like yours makes me believe that you do not think with your brain but you only think with your anus... and the funny thing is that if the reps should start shouting at the IGP,or trying to touch him you would be the same person to start abusing the reps member that they are this they are that,so would I be wrong if I should say you are more senseless than the IGP? please somebody should wake me up when this guy I quoted starts to use his brain to think....good morning
