Block heads

KenOne:
These people does not know who PMB is, he's not losing sleep get your judgement from supreme court Onnoghen will not still come back the president will just give excuse that national interest supercedes personal interest.

Dasuki supreme court judgement did federal government obey it.

El Zazaki did the federal government obey it.

Onnoghen is gone no way out.

Blacksodje:

The Senate also wants the court to determine whether the action of the president does amount to usurpation of the powers of the Senate as provided for in Section 292 of the constitution.

The doctrine of necessity is the basis on which extra-legal actions by state actors, which are designed to restore order, are found to be constitutional. It also includes the ability of a private person to violate a law without punishment where the violation of law was necessary to prevent even worse harm. The maxim on which the doctrine is based originated in the writings of the medieval jurist Henry de Bracton, and similar justifications for this kind of extra-legal action have been advanced by more recent legal authorities, including William Blackstone.

No provision of the Nigerian constitution empowering the National Assembly to pass any such resolution, causing Senate President David Mark to assert that the Senate had been guided by the "doctrine of necessity" in arriving at its decision.

Mr. Ozekhome told the News Agency of Nigeria in a telephone interview that “the move is unnecessary as the country is not at war or in imminent danger of invasion”.

He said that the order given to the military to take charge of security situations in the three states was only an adoption of stiffer measures and not a state of emergency.

According to him, section 305 of the 1999 Constitution does not permit the declaration of state of emergency just because a part of the country is facing security challenges.

“Under section 305, before a state of emergency can be declared, it must be evident that the country is in a state of war or is in imminent danger of invasion.

“Section 305 does not permit the declaration of state of emergency simply because a part of some states, not even the whole state, are facing security challenges,” he said.

He said that Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution provided that the intention to declare state of emergency should first be published in a Federal Government Gazette.

He explained that after the publication, the National Assembly ought to sit at a plenary session to decide if there was need for declaration of the state of emergency.

“Therefore, Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution was not obeyed before the proclamation of the state of emergency by President Goodluck Jonathan.

“I would therefore say that since he did not follow due procedure, it is not a declaration of state of emergency, but an adoption of stiffer measures for the protection of lives and property in those states.’’

Lionheartedfew:
This is a masterstroke.The acting CJ cannot be a majority of 1 and whatever decision taken by the apex court must be obeyed.

Didi2d:
They want to codedly convene and impeach buhari, but am sure the APC guys are watching closely

Guzel:

Saraki took the decision on his own. Senators must move against such usurpation of power

Tetehjewels:


The same supreme court while headed by Walter the ex CJN has already interpreted the powers given to the CCT by our constitution and he effectively said our constitution gave the CCT full powers to act and recommend punishments .

It was from this same interpretation that made falana declare yesterday that no court can stop what the CCT is doing now.

This matter is dead even before it gets to the Supreme court

dictbennie:


And you are happy? someone that swore to obey the constitution and rule of law is doing the exact opposite and instead of you dimwits to condemn him you are cheering him on. I wonder the kind of brain you have honestly. You guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves to be this gullible. Gullible to the extent that you no longer know what is right or wrong.

truthfulparrot:
I watch the program on channel TV yesterday. You conveniently forgot to also add that Falana also said that the president cannot suspend the CJN. Infact Falana advised PMB to reverse the decision and refer the case to NJC first. Why are Nigerians youths like this? Allowing these corrupt politicians in PDP and APC to mess up with their heads?
