Obiagelli: what can i say? At least there is no faction in the APC.

“To start with, there is a subsisting court order stopping the House from declaring seats vacant, suspending and stopping the remunerations of the defected lawmakers

Sometimes i imagine if APC were the ruling party at the federal level,may God forbid though,Nigerians would be very sorry for voting them into power.

Why is it difficult for APC to obey Common court orders? Why is it difficult for OPC APC to play by the rules?

bushdoc9919: [size=22pt]The fact is the Speaker is right....the law does state that when you defect....your seat becomes vacant.
[/size]
The problem is, that is one law that has been blatantly ignored by all parties since 1999. Especially in Abuja...where defections at the National Assembly are just met with a big yawn.

A competent court of law ruled that there was no division in the PDP.. And until another court rules otherwise, that argument won't fly

obayaya:

What we saw was a group of people who aren't satisfied with the status quo and took to the press!!!

Well, what we saw is subject to different interpretation.

And the only acceptable interpretation is the court's interpretation. And the court said there's no division.

Ngwakwe:

Court said there was no faction in PDP and moreover, the said Edo law maker political platform ACN is no longer in existence hence there is no comparison.

According to Nigerian constitution and Electoral Law 2007 as amended every ACN, CPC, ANPP former members are free to defect to any political party of their choice on the ground of the merger.

Walking out of the convention isn't a proof of division. Anybody can choose to leave a meeting whenever he/she wants

disobeying court order is wrong though.

xp17: when bright omokhudion moved from pdp to acn , he was immediately made the speaker of Edo House of Assembly, while zakawanu garuba was removed at the time. that was a crooked plot masterminded by Adams oshiomole for the then acn members to surpass pdp in order to vote out guruba as the speaker because I refused to lick oshiomole's ad's. at the time of the saga, more than 10 members left pdp for the then acn and nothing happened .so ,why is this case treated with impunity?
