The heading was framed as if it was a court verdict. However I'll love to see these lawmakers lose their seats as stipulated by our constitution.

An average Nigerian politician needs a deterrent to discard his toga of habitual impunity.

The biggest losers are the commissioners who resigned before the peace pact
.

They will be losers only if we see the commissioner position as a means for them to enrich themselves but if we see it as a means for them to contribute meaningfully to governance and development then the people of Rivers state are the losers....this attitude of seeing appointments as a means to get rich or freestuff grin must stop

After Supreme judgment on fubara, alot of drama will play out.

Knowing APC, they can delay the judgment for the full tenure to keep him in check

Insanity is get elected on the platform of a political party, and quickly sell the mandate given by the people by defecting to another political party.

If this is true then fabura knows how to play the game more

Politics is about game of the heart and it come with death warrant if care is not taking

You wont resign because there is issues with two people but rather work with the winning team onboard

Part of the peace pact is the resubmission of their names to the House of Assembly as commissioner nominees.

PDP is daft, how can suspended members declare the seats of 27members vacant?

You're rather the daft person here. Only if you made a little research, you would have found out that there is a existing court verdict that ties elective positions to the party under whose umbrella a candidate won their election.

[b]It’s only a Court of Law with appropriate jurisdiction that can pronounce that the 27 members of the House of Assembly have lost their seats……not the PDP. Anyone with open eyes can see that the PDP has been divided since their Primaries where they chose Atiku as their Presidential candidate. They went into the elections as a divided party….that’s why they lost woefully.
Let the Courts decide whether the legislators have lost their seats or not…..that’s the job of the Judiciary….to make pronouncements according to Law and the Constitution! [/b]cool cool

Their seats are not just vacant because of the declaration of those you are pointing at, their seats are vacant because of the action of the 26 members.

The law is clear, if the current speaker had not declared their seats vacant, the law empowers the platform upon which they were elected (PDP) to approach the courts for the same declaration. In fact it extends to any of their constituents approaching the courts to declare their seats vacant if their defection is in contravention of the law.

You might want to find out the facts from our national law book before calling people names so you don't become that yourself

How are they losers? Didnt u read the peace pact.. Fubara was told to re_enstate them immediately and all they need to do is present thier portfolio to the house of assembly
Who said he can't sack them after 2 months for some reason or use thier perm secs to frustrate them?

The PDP divided into what exactly?

There is no leadership division in the PDP both at national and state levels. Section 109 paragraph (g) did not provide for throwing tantrums as division for defection so you are trying to be clever by half.
Those former lawmakers cannot even defend what they did cause it is clear to all and sundry including them that they are wrong. They only relied on manipulating our weak judicial system to get a pass and not because there is a valid ground for their action according to law

Just read today’s newspapers below and tell us there’s no division in PDP. On what grounds did the Ebonyin State Governor Umahi defect to APC and he’s still there till today? The Law is not about wishful thinking…this you’ll find out soon enough!

It is obvious you don't know what the law says about "division" in a political party hence this your comeback.

How is disobedience to law or refusal to enforce the law a judicial precedent to justify another wrongdoing in the case of Umahi that you mentioned. He is there because no one approached the courts to reprimand him for his wrongdoing.

To your first point again. It is bemusing that you referenced a court order restraining one certain individual from parading himself as the secretary of the PDP as division in the part. If you are the attorney of the former 26 lawmakers, they would be disappointed if this is what you come up with in their defense

My friend, are you a LAWYER? Even if you’re one, your view is not sacrosanct!
Everybody is interpreting the Constitution these days and making pronouncements based on which side of the bed they woke up in the morning. Wait for the Courts pls….you may very well be disappointed that your views are not shared by truly knowledgeable Lawyers!

Which of the elected political officer from governor/deputy governor, senators, members of house of representatives, and house of assembly members enjoyed the support of the PDP NWC in the first place?

Fubara would rather live and die alone than trust the national working committee of the PDP.

So even if he was told to reinstate them immediately does that now suppersed the law of the land?
What land? You mean your constitution that Tinubu is rubbing in the mud? The 26/27 members of the house of assembly that defected to the APC didn't the same peace accord ask the governor to recognize the speaker from the 27 members as the true leader of the house.. Even when constitution state that any house of assembly member that defect automatically loses his seat. Are they not still sitting in the house there?

Law of which land? Law kor law ni.!!
