Is it constitutional for 7 lawmakers out of 26 to impeach the speaker and his deputy? yes or no?

ProfCorruption:
I am not responsible for your inability to comprehend my post. It's meant for people who have sound minds.

OkikiOluwa1:
bros, how many members are in Ekiti HoA.
Last Bullet
I learnt that only 7 PDP HoA members impeached Ekiti speaker.
Is it constitutional?

Nigeria's problem has more to do with docile followership than an irresponsible leadership. I am lost for words how a barely educated legislator who is apparently struggling to make a coherent statement is elected in Ekiti. Well, stomach infrastructure! Even more alarming is how someone in his right senses can say " I support how 7 legislators impeached a speaker supported by 18 legislators". The problem with impunity is that it usually starts with our "enemies" before it spreads to "friends". Once he crushes the opposition, sooner than later, Fayose will pounce on PDP members who show any inclination towards independent thinking or disposition. Many are, naively or mischievously cheering him on but I hope sanity prevails.

The issue at the play has nothing to do with speaker abandoning the house. It has more to do with separation of powers. The position of governor is not that of an absolute king. Even in ages past, chiefs in Yorubaland adequately cautioned a rampaging bully of a king, not to talk of a clearly well written procedural steps required to effect leadership change. The truth is you can't,legally and constitutionally, impeach a speaker without having 2/3 of house members supporting you. If Fayose thinks he will have the last laugh, it can only mean one thing: he is not a student of history. He has opened a Pandora box.

I think the Ekiti experience would serve as a lesson to the rest of Yorubaland, and possibly Nigeria as a whole. There is a minimum a well educated fellow, devoid of thuggery tendencies, can't go below. There are some things a Fayemi or Segun Oni won't do because of his background. In Segun Oni's Ekiti, it was 50/50 (13 PDP and 13 ACN legislators) and he never resorted to this level of brazen impunity.

In US, the Democratic-controlled senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill. The Republican-controlled house did not even allow the bill come to vote. This is not even a case of the bill being defeated in the House, it was simply not allowed to be debated. It's not automatic that party A should support party B as the clearly mischievous OP is trying to portray; as if it is evil, bad or uncommon for APC not to be supportive of Fayose administration. Fayose is elected by Ekiti people much same way the honorable members. No mandate is bigger or better than the other. The binding chord, the guiding principle is the constitution. Do you work as specified by the constitution. What is done is to find a middle ground, a give-and-take compromise, and then work to move the state forward. If his mandate is to move Ekiti forward, Fayose should find a way to work with the APC-controlled House. Otherwise, crisis today, litigation tomorrow, shooting a day after will create an atmosphere of siege and in the absence of peace, development becomes a mirage.

A good oppostion write-up on Obanikoro would take time, do some work( sorry, I know lazy people are allergic to hard work), and chose points to criticize in his record of public service.

gtrust:

Let's see what the court would say.

Commissioners were not confirmed because the house was not in session at same time not in recess!!!

You expect the reps to sit out while the PDP take over the house ala the way same police protected 7lawbreakers to illegally say they have impeached a 19 members backed speaker
I understand your pain that the plan didn't work.
No person that has all the screws in his head in place and complete will support the police over the lawmakers yesterday.
