Defection is defection. Either as aspirant, candidate or elected

Politics is very deep...... Strong APC men don't want these men in APC. The way they come is the way they will go. Greediness make them to jump ship. Now buni is gone.

How about those that crossed from APC to PDP?

Afamed:

Defection is defection. Either as aspirant, candidate or elected

It is not...as elected it means voters have decided to give up their will right to the candidate to represent them while unelected candidate don't have such right and privileges

Ayades government is a scam n worst administration we've ever had in Cross River State.

Nonsense ! With did our constitution says Cross carpeting is unlawful

In the case between Labour Party and a member of House of Representatives representing Akure North/ South constituency, Hon. Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde. He was elected on the LP’s platform in the Seventh Assembly. He defected to the then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) before the end of his tenure, citing a division in his state chapter of the Labour Party.

In a preemptive move, Abegunde sued his former party at the Federal High Court, Akure, urging it to, among others, deem his defection as proper, to enable him retain his seat. He lost at the trial court, the Court of Appeal and up to the Supreme Court.A seven-man panel of the Supreme Court, headed by then Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Mahmud Mohammed, in its judgment on April 17, 2015, ruled against Abegunde, to the effect that his claim of a division in the chapter of his party in his state did not qualify as the division envisaged under Section 68(1)(g) of the Constitution.

In the lead judgment, Justice Musa Dattijo Mohammad noted that it was only a division that made it “impossible or impracticable” for the party to function by virtue of the provision of Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution that “justifies a person’s defection to another party.”

Justice Muhammad added: “The principles enunciated by this court in the two cases of FEDECO v Goni supra and Attorney-General of the Federation v Abubakar supra, are to the effect that only such factionalisation, fragmentation, splintering or ‘division’ that makes it impossible or impracticable for a particular party to function as such will, by virtue of the proviso to Section 68(1)(g), justify a person’s defection to another party and the retention of his seat for the unexpired term in the house in spite of the defection.”

Despite the unambiguous constitutional provisions on when a defection is proper and clear interpretations of these provisions by the Supreme Court, its application has, in most cases, been subjected to the whims of the leadership of the National Assembly.Before the current wave of defections rocking the National Assembly ahead of 2019 general elections, Zaphaniah Jisalo (Abuja Municipal Area Council /Bwari Federal Constituency of the Federal Capital Territory) and Ahmed-Tijani Damisa (Okene/Ogori-Magongo Federal Constituency in Kogi State) who were elected on PDP platform defected to APC last year. Their defection made PDP’s members in the House to demand that they vacate their seats.

When the issue was raised on the floor of the House, PDP Minority Whip, Umar Barde demanded that the seats occupied by Jisalo and Damisa be declared vacant in view of the provision of Section 68 (1g) of the constitution, and since the party was no longer divided after the Supreme Court’s resolution of the leadership dispute between Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed Makarfi.


The Chairman of the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges, Osai Nicholas Ossai (PDP, Delta), spoke in a similar vein and urged Speaker Yakubu Dogara to invoke Section 68 of the Constitution and declare the defectors’ seats vacant. Dogara declined to accede to the PDP members’ call, but instead, argued that their reliance on Section 68 (1g) to demand that the defectors’ seats be declared vacant was insufficient, adding that the constitution did not define what constituted a division in a political party.

The Speaker was quoted as arguing: “Division in a political party is not defined by the constitution. The constitution does not state whether it should be at the national, state or local government level. So, we should allow the judiciary to do its job.”

Arising from this, the judiciary is now doing their job as the interpreter of the Constitution. Don't you think so?

Let the victim gather themselves and go for a political tutorial in Bourdilon Lagos for political solutions.

Dave Umahi must know his mates politically.

I'm quiet sure he must have totally forgotten his presidential ambition.

Before he sought himself out of his current political mess, someone else would have been declared APC Presidential candidate.

If they loose issa welcoming development

So this section of the Law exist all this while this Umahi matter dey give me joy. This section of the Law if implemented as it is will greatly revamp and bring orderliness in our political space. This idea of hooping like frog from one party to another senselessly will be tamed. Leaving a Party after emerging on their platform is mindless and unreasonable.

If you don't like it go to court.
Tinubu will win all of you

Tareq1105:


So, upon which law did the judge base his judgement?

Cross carpeting is frowned on. The law says you lose your seat if you do. But there is a clause that says except the party you are breaks into factions.

So the politicians and judiciary normally use this "technicality" to cross carpet and they claim the party broke into factions. Ideally If you cannot prove that there is a faction, then you lose your seat.

If I was to fix this law, I would go ahead to say that the new faction must be from the same party and the person crossing should be in the new faction and must be duly registered as a party. And crossing over to another party within the duration makes you forfeit the position to the original party.

I laff the swahili way. This will teach our greedy politicians a lesson. You don't jettison the party that voted you into power and while you're still the governor . Why not defect during the first term and see if you'd ever secure the second term? Ayade, get ready.

Na today them write the Law I'm neither APC Or PDP God knows but this section is so reasonable and will tame unreasonable Coss carpeting in our political space.

Tareq1105:


Unfortunately PDP couldn't cite any section of the electoral act or Nigerian constitution that support its demand.

That judgement was procured and it will fail.

This Will strengthen our Democracy.
Greedy Umahi and his cohorts should vacate government House immediately.
We pray Ben Ayade follows suit. He has no business in the government House having defected to APC with PDP mandate.

In nwike's voice umahi shut up that ur guttermouth

All the pdp lawmakers in the imo state house of assembly that defected to the apc because uzodima is also likely to be affected by this judgement. I pray the supreme court should also affirm this judgement any time it comes to their table so that nigerian politicians will stop defecting like political prostitutes without any ideology.

The judge is deceiving himself. The 1999 constitution guarantees freedom of association of everyone in the country, where there's a clash between the constitution and any law the constitution is Supreme hence this judgment is a kangaroo judgment.

If it stands, it might help strengthen democracy and the opposition parties in Nigeria.. The opposition parties should be strong for democracy to function or we will be like China and Russia .
