Eh? Make Bitter Obi catch you first.

DeepSight:
But you know that if any group of legislators tried wike, its not just their official houses that will be demolished. Theiir personal houses as well as the personal houses of their relatives including the very very very old ones in their nineties.

Who gave Fubara power? Never be an ingrate.

yarimo:
Mumu governor that doesn't know anything about the law. Assembly can seat anywhere in rivers state.

Fubara is a confirmed empty drum.

This one na clown 🤡 Go and learn how to play politics. Mumu man.

Kukutente23:
Let's assume you're right for a moment
You mean the Speaker will disobey the constitution he swore to uphold yet seek protection under same constitution? Maybe he should also go to court to claim he's still speaker.

But you're wrong. The process of giving effect is to make the declaration of vacant seat so that inec can be informed and make plans for replacement. Whether the speaker declares or not, the fact is that they have lost their seats the moment they defect. That's what section 109(g) says. What you're claiming is to put the losing of seats after defection at the discretion of the speaker. The SC made it clear there's nothing like that. You defect, you lose your seat regardless of whether the speaker declared or not.

You are deceiving yourself. The speaker gives effect to subsection 1.

israelmao:
Proud and overbloated emperor called Wike will sure have the full dose of his own medicine,his froggy voice will be clearer than Simi's voice by the time Fubara is through with him.

Through with who? It is not your fault sha, na Wike dash that mugu Fubara power. Would Fubara have won a local government election? Nonsense. When a mumu holds power, you get a thing called Fubara.

blackgold2018:
you are surely a kid.

State of emergency in an oil producing state. Rivers people are behind the governor.

And its Militants a joke to you.

Rivers people are not behind Fubara. Only tribalists and disgruntled elements. Militants will run into the bush and start sleeping there with mosquitoes, when food is ready.

The mumu governor even said the Assembly quarters is part of his property. This man's head is just empty. Empty drum! I doubt he can state the three branches of government and their functions. The governor na olodo.

jahsharon:
We will soon know who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed and Unarmed Forces

Dem no dey tell person. Tinubu stamp your authority jare. Enough of the illegalities from that empty drum called Fubara.

Fubara is just a visionless thing fishing for crisis. The Assembly building he demolished, he has not finished building it, now it is the Assembly quarters that is his problem. The clueless despardo was reading the script he was given and said he wants to renovate the assembly quarters. Ask him, is he done renovating all the schools and hospitals in Rivers State? Impeach this melon, before he destroys everything in the state, then lock him up in prison.

Yourbaslayer:
This is one very unintelligent post, you are too emotional

Says someone who can't tell his left from his right, what do you know about intelligence? Counter the views I expressed in that post. Empty vessel.

ncoolsome:
But legislators can be jumping from one party to another like ashawoo abi...

If they so please, as long they comply with the law. It is the job of electorates to choose legislators. The legislature is a branch of government like the judiciary. No one is superior to the other. The injunction is unconstitutional.

Kukutente23:
Did the constitution predicate the losing of their seats on the declaration of the speaker?
They lose their seats once they defect. The SC ruling agrees with this. The case which the SC ruled on in Ebonyi, the seats were not declared vacant by the speaker but the SC still insisted they lost their seats.
Read section 109 again. Which comes first? Losing their seats by defection or by declaration of the speaker? The losing of seats is automatic and not dependent on the speaker's declaration.

The constitution is not a novel. If you don't know how to interpret laws, find someone to guide you. You don't lose your seat immediately you defect, else, why then is there a proviso for a division in the political party of which the person was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which the person was previously sponsored?

Subsection 2 clearly states that - The Speaker of the House of Assembly shall give effect to subsection (1).

What part of that English do you not understand?

Stop chasing shadows. That is where the court will come in because the Speaker Martin Amaewhule won't declare those seats vacant, so you go to court.

This demonic fund again.

Politicians are still the ones causing the problem.

A country's military should be within its territory. Go back to your country. A lot of rubbish have been normalized.

Kukutente23:
Subsection 2 is for the Speaker of the House. Since the Speaker also lost his seat by defecting, a new speaker had to emerge. There can be no vacuum in governance

Keep quiet. We are talking about law. There cannot be two speakers. The speaker defected with other members and didn't declare any seat vacant. No other person can. You can't add or subtract from the law. Amaewhule remains the speaker and there is no vacuum.

Kukutente23:
The letter was sent by Speaker Ehie before he resigned.
The suspension was declared null and void by a court

🤡 The wanted felon, Edison Ehie remained a suspended member of the house, until his resignation. The suspension was never vacated, just as he was never a speaker, but an imposter like the latest clown called Victor Jumbo.

Kukutente23:
Here it is. Show me where it says a court has to declare the seats vacant

You said they immediately lose their seats, now explain the purpose of subsection 2.

Personal choice. Don't you people understand the concept of freedom? So because someone chooses to do something, all Ikwerres are now Igbos. Leave the Ikwerres alone. Those who want to identify with you, will and those who do not, leave them alone. No be by force. Stop claiming a whole ethnic group. Every time this same agenda.

Kukutente23:
INEC has received the letter of defection as required by the constitution.
The purported suspension was null and void

Received from who? Who has declared their seats vacant? Just posting rubbish. The suspension was declared null and void by which court? Or are you the court? 🤡

This is how a judge should act.

illicit:
So person die

And Obi never react?


🥵

That desperado. Only exceeded by Fubara the empty drum of Rivers State in that regard.

jeff1993:
Mtscheeeeeeew who cares??

They no longer have the royal power.

Who has any yeye royal power? Rubbish.

uchwar1:
lolz! Do they have the jurisdiction to suspend the 4 lawmakers? They already lost their seats and have no legitimate power to suspend anybody. Their pronouncement is invalid

They have the authority and the suspension was done before their defection, not like the defection affects anything but I stated it for record purposes and facts. They haven't lost their seats and remain legislators.

Kukutente23:
The constitution does not say a court has to declare them ex-lawmakers. The process is clearly spelt out and it has been followed to the letter in the eyes of the law

Nothing has been followed. The process laid down has not been complied with. Amaewhule remains the speaker to give effect to the provision. The wanted felon, Edison Ehie and his cohorts were suspended. You don't know what you are talking about.

Kukutente23:
A court does not need to declare their seats vacant. It becomes vacant immediately they defected.

Now, quote the section of the law that explicitly stated the highlighted part and the process required.

Alphanancy:
They are not legislators. They cease to be the day they defected to APC. They broke the law.

Be quiet. You don't know the law. I won't even point you to the constitution because you won't comprehend anything.

Kukutente23:
The wordings of the injunction shows that they lost their seats and their seats were declared vacant.
The 4 members were suspended after the defection of the 25 members which makes the suspension null and void

Rubbish. The injunction can be worded in whatever manner, no court declared their seats vacant. Also, the suspension was done in October, while they defected in December. Bloody liar!

The only thing he knows how to do in his visionless government is to organize thanksgiving services and squander money on support groups.

Look at his face. Empty drum. Very foolish trying to play dirty politics he knows nothing about. Imagine this mugu going to the assembly quarters after demolishing the assembly building and telling people stupid stories. If you be mumu, everybody no be mumu like you. This desperado wants to demolish the assembly quarters. He will surely end up in prison.

Kukutente23:
The court restrained the ex-lawmakers not the legislature.
It is the legislature that sued the ex-lawmakers to court on the ground that they are imposters

Are you the one who made them former lawmakers? Your foundation is faulty, nothing will stand on it. The speaker Amaewhule and his members are the only legitimate lawmakers in the house and are the majority. Giving an injunction against all of them, amounts to stopping legislative functions and no court has that power. The rest of the 3 or 4 members were suspended long ago.
