Tambuwal's defection to APC may not be the major talking point rather an attempt to lead the house from a minority party. This is Legislative coup and upon that, he went ahead to adjourn sittings for more than a month after the house came back from two months recess a month ago.

I don't believe any political party can accept this abnormality unless Tambuwal is able to stage a rebellion in PDP camp and upturn the majority in favour of APC.

APC bending the constitution since 1983

Hahahahaha Guy u funny no be small !!!!!



Wetin pdp dey do ?

Now I believe Tambuwal had dealt d heaviest blow so far on d pdp/saTANoids/PDP, far more dan Amaechi's own sef

Trust me by the time the house reconvenes on the 3rd of December, more members would follow suit!

PDP is just a sinking ship!

The novices did not realize this. The permutation is that by the time the house reconvenes on the 3rd of December, many disgruntled PDP members as a result of the fake primaries, would defect to the APC. PDP's best bet is to find a way to reconvene the house before their primaries. That's not possible.

mikeansy:


I can sense an air of resignation

The reality of the provisions of the constitution is beginning to set in!

In a serious society this matter won't come to this! Tambuwal will know to do the needful and resign. APC would have even made his resignation from office as pre-requisite for his defection!

The fact that APC will rather try to pull a fast one on the constitution really calls for reflection! The party of change and progress simply have no class!!!! And can't respect the rule of law!!!!

Really why is APC looking for minority leadership in the a House through the back door!!!!!

iz d police suppose 2 be d one takin d Fight 2 Tambuwal directly

Even if Tambuwal is not supposed to be speaker anymore after defection, the power to take him out lies in the arms of the legislators if he refuses to leave not some gathering or meeting by GEJ and some party members. When something is wrong we should never fail to state it how it is without sentiments. If GEJ's hand is in any of this then he's wrong.

Why was this constitution not applicable to mimiko & others who defected to the pdp

Because selective justice is the prerogative of karma. Karma decides who reaps what and at what time. Tambuwal, must go down. Watch and learn. This is called Politics, not religion.

Dude former speaker aminu tambuwal does not matter in the scheme of things anymore, he's no longer a member of the HoR according to our constitution that the IG has sworn to uphold. He left his position willingly.
Emeka is about re-convening the house where Mulikat Akande will be elected the new Speaker by 2/3rd majority of members present.
And provided the sitting members are above 80, it's fine by the constitution.

Jonathan is threading on very thin ice and should spread his weight as far as possible, for if the surface breaks no amount of sycophants is gonna save him.

This man is too damn impulsive and petty for a president.

Liar bokoharamed I sight.... Tambuwal thinks this na winning 11 that once u turn twice while on d edge of d box and shoot itz a goal once ur shot nd placing is right.... APC can't accept such xo pdp too shouldn't.. D thing go surprise u wen tambuwal go sit among other HOR contributing to matter on d floor if he wants to

Be rest assured that the house is re-convening next week, so if you like don't attend. You won't be missed cos you don't matter.
Minimum number required is 80.

No be only Dec 3. Just watch and learn how politics is played henceforth

I swear, PDP lawmakers and Jonathan are in the deepest shiit! Read this:




PDP to lose more
lawmakers to APC
2014-10-30 16:07 Abuja - There are indications
that some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
lawmakers in the House of Representatives
will join Speaker Aminu Tambuwal in the All
Progressives Congress (APC), reports The Sun .
The defection of the lawmakers is expected
before the end of November when primaries
of the parties would have been concluded.
The legislators took the decision to dump the
PDP for APC during a meeting in Kaduna on
Saturday.

It was agreed at the meeting that Tambuwal
should take the lead in defecting to the APC
while other legislators would follow suit later.

Is mimiko a legislator?

Section 68 is purely for legislator

Hence why Governor Kwakwanso who moved from PDP to APC still retains his office and security details!!!!

Why are the rules too hard to understand?

Is it me or are Nigerians just ....?

Godbless u,dis is d best comment so far,pple ave jst stop dis sentiment

lets all watch as PDP teaches APC the game of politics. Next week will be really interesting.
* orders for popcorn, puts on his 3d glass, let the show begin*

Clerverly:
The fact is that the President Jonathan is so afraid of losing to the people's General in next year's election, that he employs Fayose and wike thuggery style of politics in fighting any perceived opponent.

Unfortunately for him, Nigerians are so determined and resolute in their resolve to sending him back to otuoke with drums of Kai Kai, cos he is unfit to preside over even a council ward!

TAMBUWAL Carry Go!!!

The President can't sit there and watch u manipulate the rules as u like!

The speaker and lawmaker should be a custodian of the law! Tambuwal's behaviour is very reprehensible! Why did Tambuwal not resign?

Honestly the behaviour of APC worries the life out of me!

Whether it's the invented PDP faction just to circumvent the constitution or a party trying to be the minority leadership through the back door; it's just scary honestly!

We thought flirting with a 72 year old former military dictator as their 2015 candidate is the lowest APC will go but they keep "breaking new grounds"!

How can a group of grown up men who promise progress and change be so collectively deceitful? Is there any true elder statesman in APC willing to call the party to order?

And Ojukwu contesting for thesame office at the age of 74 in 2007 was a fantastic idea I guess!!!

Don't bore me with that age thing abeg. I've got better things to weigh people's credibility on.

And as regards all that noise of a Minority party leading the house, were you people still hooked unto your mothers' placenta when PDP fought for and retained leadership of the House when they were the Minority party

politricks:
Jonathan is really getting more desperate.

i can't wait for him to fall like a namby-pamby that he(gej) is.

Am loving dis game

mikeansy:
It is part of the remit of the police to enforce the law as-is!

The constitution is clear that you loose your membership of the house as soon as you change parties and Tambuwal himself confirmed he has moved from PDP to APC.

If APC are a responsible party they will do more to advise Tambuwal to do the responsible and honourable thing and resign!

APC is not ready for Government. A party with a penchant for twisting the rules and looking for loopholes in the constitution can not be trusted with power!

We have numerous people who have decamped since 1999, Tell us how many have lost their seat

The aggrieved party has a CHOICE to drag them to court or not.
Get it

It's time to play the game of politic it may be a hard pill 4 APC but the truth is that APC is a lawless party always shifting the goal post to where it suits them it's time 4 d game to begin. Most APC supporters don't understand the provisions of the constitution or when d law takes effect. The law on defection came into law in 2011 or 2010 after the 1999 constitution was amended. From the law it's easier to defect 4rm APC to PDP as a result of a merger than to defect from PDP to APC becos their has never been a division in PDP, remember the so called New PDP was said to be illegal as said by a competent court of law. It's in deed a bitter pill but APC brought this on themselves U can't eat ur cake and have it. Am sitting down to enjoy the game.
