NgeneUkwenu needs to hear this.
he's feeding his ignorance

Ategberoson:
until appeal and supreme verdict validate the tribunal judgement before the sitting Governor can vacate the office


the incumbent will challenge the case and the worse that happened to Nigeria judiciary system, the Governor might have finished his tenure before it will even reach supreme court

all Nigeria system is polluted with a lot of discrepancies

etrange:
I agree with the judge's decision but you bringing up the actress' case doesn't quite help your point. First, because calling two cases the same name (in this case, manslaughter) doesn't guarantee the same outcome cause of the peculiarities of each. Second, because the idea of using a wrongly handled case as a yardstick for other possibly criminal cases is regressive. Hope you get my point.

SmartProf:
Can you imagine that they both pleaded not guilty and have been granted a N1million bail by the Judge who also adjourned the case. It's sad cos even if justice prevails, a Star girl is gone forever.

Ejlove4u:
how is this one news?

explorer250:
when it is the Igbo mans turn everybody has started speaking English

Dpharisee:
Lagos Ibadan expressway media, that's the same way they were releasing statements daily claiming it was from the then factional APC Acting Chairman Late Ajimobi who was in ICU battling for his life until Buhari dissolved the party executive and they declared the man died that same day.

Fake news media is a problem to the world

seniormallam:
In politics, no one is useless, at least each of them no matter how bad will produced 100 votes, that's 600 in total, at least in a worst scenario

myboy2111:

He decamped too late or too early?
He shouldn't have decamped cos he still had the chance to cling the APC ticket

Some naive people are saying these 17 Lawmakers have broken the law because they dont have the Mace and therefore their actions are invalid?
Some even said "matter is in court" when the law says (from the onset) you cannot deprive a validly elected Representative from "representing" their people, using "Executive Power".

Here this:
The Mace is just a symbol of the House proceedings, if it is not availbale, other "symbolic" item can be used to stand in its place.

When Chuba Okadigbo was about to be impeached as Senate President, he stole the Mace and went to hide it in his village home in Ogbunigwe.
The House met and used another "OBJECT" that looked like a Mace (just as l can see here, in the sitting of the 17 Edo Lawmakers) and removed Chuba Okadigbo.
He proceeded to the Court to challenge that removal and the Court affirmed that it was in order and he was validly removed.

So, everything that these 17 Legislators are doing, are bvacked by the law and they can actually impeach Obaseki, if they want but l dont think that would be necessary, in my own opinion. He is a drowned man already.

The Legislators have written to the AGF of Nigeria, intimating him of their resolution and the chaos that Obaseki is creating by sealing the House of Assembly.
The AGF in turn has written to the I.G. of Police requesting him to provide full security for the operation of the House of Assembly and to ensure they were not prevented from carrying out their Democratic responsibilities.
To "seal" all these, the Legislators also went to "pay a visit" to Mr. President and present Ize-Iyamu to him and he ENDORSED them, as President and leader of the APC.
In Nigerian Politics, if you dont know what that means, then you are naive

Now, what can Obaseki do, without the support of the Security agencies (Police, DSS, NCDF)?
If Obaseki and all the Thugs that Wike imported from the ND dont behave themselves, then the President would draft in the Army and we all know that the Nigerian Army's best performance (and indeed our Security agencies in general), happens when they are maiming Nigerians .
So, any Political Thug that wants to die, should go and start misbehaving in Edo State.

In Summary, Obaseki's 2nd term Governorship ambition and this Thugs are HISTORY.
Take this to the bank, so to speak.

tfelicityk:
Just imagining the role the minister of interior will play here now...

Besides, it seems the present Governor is not telling Nigerians and Edo people his problem...

He is using godfatherism - as character assassination on some politicians as yard sticks...

Dpharisee:
1. Attorney general cannot order IGP
2. The matter is in court and his interference is subjudice.
3. He is not responsible for internal security, that's the job of Ogbeni Aregbesola

Nation newspaper should have a good idea editorial board

StagethemTVee:
All these happening right under the Saint Buhari whom we voted and fought for in 2015 because we wanted change. What has changed under this Government since then? Rather they have done at worse levels the things we complained about before he came into power.

Halopy:
The funniest thing here is that, the seat of these 17 lawmakers have been declared vacant according to the same constitution malami is claiming to be defending and under the said constitution, the only redress they could seek was going to court to challenge it which they have done as law abiding citizens, and the case is still pending.

Firstly, they committed contempt of court by declaring themselves valid lawmakers.

Secondly, they committed another illegality by inaugurating themselves without any Governor's proclamation.

Thirdly, they did the inauguration in a private room without the mace which is the symbol of authority.

So for the so called malami to be asking the police to protect these set of criminals is a clear indication that this administration is a supporter of illegality, they resort to brazen abuse of powers to get what they want to get. This is bad politics. One thing I know for sure is Edo people are not cowards, they will speak through the ballot.

Greenbirth:
What wonders me in this Edo matter is that Oshomole is not the one contesting for the election, why carrying the matter for head. The greatest fool is the one who knows the truth and still support lies.

Beautifulminde3:
Osun state government is known for substandard project, Pedestrian bridge also collapsed in the poor state

Achuwa1:
Why are you people following APC blindly & call people that refuse to do same ignorant.?
Amaechi admitted it live on TV & you are here ranting like a dog that just saw a ghost.

Esseite:
If you could read, you could have seen where he stated they faced such similar scenario, they went to the internal private investors rather than sell out the Nation.

Esseite:
Atiku is only giving a better alternative of initiating a bid with internal private investors whom would go about the loan on a build/operate and transfer basis, rather than giving up sovereignty when one can't predict the future, most especially that of oil dependent economies..

It's not rocket science, its mere common sense.
