APC Led National Assembly May Takeover Rivers Assembly Functions by BERNIMOORE: 9:11pm On May 11
As the Crisis in Rivers State rages on, Gov. Similari Fubara Directing that the State High Court should give Orders to prevent the APC Led National Assembly to be restrained from performing its duty, has grossly violated the Section 11 (4) and (5) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the next move is for the APC reps who are the Majority in the House of representative to present the matter formally to the APC led speaker and formally takeover the functions of the Rivers state Assembly as soon as possible, with over 162 APC reps, the overwhelming majority of the APC will see the Rivers crisis to a logical conclusion with no major opposition with the minority PDP in the house. for record purposes;

Section 11 (4) and (5) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) gives instances the National Assembly can take over state House of Assembly until the challenge facing it is resolved.

Subsection (4) provides, “At any time when any House of Assembly of a state is unable to perform its functions because of the situation prevailing in that state, the National Assembly may make such laws for the peace, order and good government of that state concerning matters on which a House of Assembly may make laws as may appear.”

Subsection (5) reads, “For the purposes of subsection (4) of this section, a House of Assembly shall not be deemed to be unable to perform its functions as long as the House of Assembly can hold a meeting and transact business
.”

However, given why the National Assembly cannot act in the crisis and take charge of the House of Assembly for now, Agbese disclosed that the conflict is yet to be presented before the Federal House.

Catch fire because of one state? You dey play too much o. Nigeria is too big for one state to hold it to ransom.

You must defend why you cross carpeted to a different party that was not instrumental in whatso ever way to your election into the House of assembly.

Any action after the act is null & void. You all lost your seats miserably after your defections grin grin

That is the problem.
FG will proclaim a state of emergency in which case Gov Fubara will be helpless.It will last until the conflict is deemed to be over.
"Military" will take over the state and dem own na obey before complain.

Military has never taken over any state because a state of emergency is declared by the federal government.

That Obasanjo chose to use some RETIRED military personnel to serve as interim Governors, did not mean military took over any function of governance. Instead, the appointed person took over, not any military.

A retired military personnel is already a civilian, hence can function in a civil role just like Obasanjo and Buhari did.

By the provisions of Section 109 (1) (g) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the defected lawmakers are now former lawmakers. They have since lost their seats and cannot continue to muddled in the affaurs of Rivers State.

I don't see that scenario playing out. However, calling someone's post about a possibility of state of emergency in Rivers unintelligent, shows you are either ignorant or in your twenties. The constitution clearly gives the FG the power to impose state of emergency on any state in Nigeria. It happened twice under Obasanjo and heaven did not fall. It is just that Yar-Adua, GEJ and Buhari refrained from using that power during their times.

your inability to interprete the provisions of the constitution is glaring.

When you finish telling us about APC lead house taking over Rivers assembly, kindly educate the stupid assembly members about the supreme court rulings that when you defects to another political party without reason, you lose your seat.
Tell them also that they will never come back except through reelection. Also tell them, that wike can not give them money no matter what equivalent to what they were getting as assembly members.
Also be reminded that once court case is finished, inec will be directed to conduct fresh election for their replacement.
Lastly, HOR making laws for a state is nothing bad and not the way you think.

you jump to section 109 (g), it doesn't work that way, same section 109 (d) states that a competent Judge of court has to make such pronouncement..unfortunately no judge has done that, even speaker of the assembly can't do that....borrow yourself some brain.... not emotions
