Maybe he is afraid that if he resigns the primary won't be sure for him

Dpharisee:
14+9= 23
23 ÷3 = 7.7
2/3 =14
It means the impeachment motion met the required 2/3 majority.
But another critical issue is that even if the Chief Judge finds him innocent, the house will display the rascality we have witnessed all over the country by going ahead with the impeachment regardless of what the law says.
These are the areas we had expected Buhari to strengthen our democracy.
We saw how 9 members swore in the Speaker in Edo state by locking out the majority of members from the house using state security agencies and it has persisted till date as 9 members makes the laws for the state.

MrPolitics:
If this is true then he won’t be impeached.
There are 26 seats in the house. 18 seats would be needed to impeach him.
If 9 members dissociate themselves, then they would have 17 seats at most and that’s not enough

Eficator:
Nice development

Can't a deputy Governor decamp to another party without threats of impeachment from the governor ??

Akeredolu should go and test his popularity, he should forget about impeachment, if he has done well I believe his people will vote him in otherwise he should go back home. To go for second term is not a birthright.

it can be easy if aketi decides to share the Ghana must go bags amongst the legislators just like obaseki did with Edo treasury in bribing his way to the pdp ticket

Good observation, but they need 2/3 of the number "present and voting" - that means 2/3 of those present at the particular seating.

There is no house of assembly where they have 100% attendance.

Ondo state needs a Yoruba First Lady
Ajayi is the way

How Obaseki kidnapped 2 house members (one with shorts) and inaugurated them with the other waiting 8 members to make 10 comes to mind.

You know what, Edo youths do not see anything wrong with that.

One by One, they will ever regret it if they make the mistake of crowning that ever bitter man as governor again. Always in conflict with those people that ever helped him to the top including Dangote. Wetin?

No peace for betrayers
