when Senates fighting for their interest they will protest but when the recession is starting they were there and open their eyes folding their hands because it will not affect them now they are walk out of the house even all PDP senators would have defect to APC to hell with them

austinereds:
I hope this will begin the Redemption of the Party. let them suffer the Purge to be clean.

lol.. What a coincidence.. Just done watching ''The Purge'' on my pc..

But why the senate president was and manipulated the election in and of the house of assembly then they all stood with him. Why did they walk out now?

veeceesynergy:
Doing GEJ, it was under d nose of Akpabio as gov dat Rotimi Amaechi was denied his victory as Chairman Governors forum, Akpabio and PDP never saw it as political rascality.

Wen d security details of d former Speaker was withdrawn and he was locked out of National Assembly, it wasnt rascality.

Jst dat they lost one Senator to APC, dat is political rascality......shame on all dem Politicians...

it is not rsscality if it happens within the confines of the law.
I'm sure u were able to read that what happened up there was an attempt to break the law of the land.
There's a reason it is called a democracy for heaven's sake

Everfrank:

That makes you a cattle.

I don't belong to your federated zoo... Count me off

hmmmmm

hylyne:

Can anything good come out of this Senate?

Cattle rearer at work....

He has sworn to ground this country. I'm sure God would hear our prayer one day.

Interesting, gala seller talking about cattle rearer.

do we have senator?? I can only see robbers...

Nellybii:

So you left yaba left, without completing your dosage. You had better go back, else you would soon start picking trash... Onye ara

UAE123:
This is the beauty of democracy. While the minority have their say the majority will have their way.

Nope! Not the beauty of democracy, but the bane of our hypocrisy (in the name of democracy). The minority senators (PDP) point out the issue, the equally corrupt majority senators (APC) will force their way, and not follow the rule of law. That is a simple recipe for chaos. A weak or nonexistent opposition is a disaster any day any time for us all.

Ezedon:
these people are confused

...

...why did they not jump on their heads when Iroko decamped to PDP from Labor...did he not become chairman of PDP forum of govs...yes u are right...they are confused people...instead of evolving a strategy to counter APC they only engage in elementary efforts to embarrass APC or PMB...nothing more...meanwhile they have gone to pieces as a party...

Just look at a THUG lecturing nigerians on political rascality.His political rascality is the main reason Akwa Ibom state is in financial mess today.What a useless man

UAE123:

Only in Nigeria. That is why we wont progress. Check out the meaning of Filibuster

See wahala...

Let's look at that constitution not in clause again but in full pls...

And what if the said lawmaker defects on account of his party is crises...?
In this case, he said he wanted to support his governor in developing his state and these people staged a walkout...

So is it the support for development that they don't want or what...?

Your objection over ruled.

I dey hear say Fayose self dey plan to leave PDP. PDP is really sinking and it's really not a good thing for our democracy.

Is PDP still the biggest party in Africa?

Happy new month Nairalanders jooor.May this new month favour us ooo.

u guys should form another party leave pdp for sheriff and co

Alot of law and order has been bridged political over a year plus.

For example this one now and a man that doesn't have waec nor Gce is ruling as president.. ... God forbid for Nigeria

If you know Much about the section Akpabio quoted, you know there are clauses there.
A person can defect and not lose is office if he decamped from a conflict riddled party.
Is Akpabio claiming pdp is not in conflict?

The tin pepper Akpabio wella!

In Akpabio' time as Governor, work out of him or make a protest against him! U get killed, ur wife gets kidnapped, ur mum maimed or ur children taken away. It can even extend to ur friends, pastors or who ever may know u. So kudos to democracy as tolerance is returning.

That one day.

Akpabio should know better that the Nigerian constitution states clearly that you free to defect to another party and still maintain your seat if the party is divided. As its stands now PDP is divided so any House member can defect without losing his/or her seat. Akpabio go back and read your country's constitution well. PDP is divided so any one can defect.

Akpabio is such a lousy wimp. So, PDP could now talk about defection and 'political rascality'? Really? Which party made APP/ANPP become a minority party in Nigeria from 2003 through serial defections to PDP?

Akpabio should tell us under which party were the following Governors, among others, elected before they defected to PDP?
Yuguda of Bauchi,
Turaki of Jigawa,
Wammako of Sokoto,
Dakingari of Kebbi,
Mimiko of Ondo (serial traitor, serial back-stabber, and constant decampee who met his waterloo last Saturday),
Shinkafi of Zamfara,
Aliero of Kebbi,
Ikedi Ohakim of Imo,
Theodore Orji of Abia, etc.


Under which party were the following Senators elected before they also defected to PDP?
Florence Ita Giwa of Cross River,
Joseph Ajayi of Ekiti,
Idris Abubakar of Gombe,
Uche Chukwumerije of Abia,
Suleiman Ajadi of Kwara,
Gbenga Ogunniya of Ondo,
Mohammed Daggash of Borno,
Sule Yari Gandi of Sokoto,
Alphonsus Igbeke of Ebonyi,
Joshua Dariye of Plateau,
Omololu Meroyi of Ondo,
Lekan Balogun of Oyo,
Ayo Adeseun of Osun,
Musiliu Obanikoro, Wahab Dosunmu, and Adeseye Ogunlewe, all 3 from Lagos;
Bala Mohammed- who later became the thieving FCT Minister under GEJ-, etc, etc ).

PDP killed APP/ANPP as major political party. That party fell from having 9 Governors at the beginning of this dispensation (in 1999) to only 3 Governors (Borno, Yobe, and Zamfara) in 2011 through serial defections to PDP!!!

Countless number of members of the House of Reps and State Houses of Assembly also decamped from AD, APGA, APP/ANPP, Labour, PPA, ACN, etc under active connivance and force by the ruling PDP during that era!

When Akpabio's PDP was the ruling party, it was good to decamp to PDP (even when the parties where these people originally got elected such as APP/ANPP, Labour, etc had no crisis or factions)! But when the same PDP is now irredeemably factionalized and in crisis, Akpabio and his band of thieves in PDP are shouting about 'political rascality'?

PDP is like the proverbial official assassin of the King who cuts people's head at the Ogun shrine with relish, but would run when a cutlass is merely close to his own neck!

Wonders shall never cease!

hmm....na wah o,anyways One day,e go beta

Hon. Akpabio should be weary of people like Omo-agege, they are two faced serpents, his likes are responsible for the current tide in the PDP, in politics, we must not always agree, but at least we should stand with the team we belong, if we don't believe in the team anymore then we should leave, instead of playing the tune of discord..

The PDP has as it is should just flush out irrelevant folks that play the tune of discord and move on..the fewer the merrier.

I know the full meaning of filibuster & it is done by lawmakers so as to delay the passage of a bill by making long speeches

So it is the fault of the president that a senator is defecting from one party to another. Ignorance will condemn many to chastisement
