Coated Lies.

Which APC member came out for nomination and election? House members select from the majority party and elect for themselves. Tambuwal was elected because he is from the PDP.
Speak the truth for once.

Tambuwal had the support of majority of members, who were bent on torpedoing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) zoning formula, which ceded the post to the South-West geo-political zone, Akande-Adeola (from the South-West).

In that election Tambuwal scored 252 votes to Akande-Adeola’s 90 votes. The total votes cast was 340 with eight invalid votes and one member abstaining. I repeat without the Support of the Opposition Lawmakers teaming up with other PDP members of the House, Tambuwal would not have been Speaker.

dunkem21:
One question for you: Will Tambuwal had emerged speaker under APC?

Yes. PDP party leadership did not want Tambuwal. He became a Speakers because majority of members of the house voted for him. Lawmakers from the Opposition and some PDP lawmakers elected him.

That is the reason from day one, the PDP have always believe he in PDP but his heart was in the Opposition.

FYI, the Legislative Arm of Government has it equality with the Executive and Judiciary - each having their responsibilities cut out for them in the constitution. So it is very wrong for the PDP as a Party to be plotting of Remote-Controlling the House from their Hideouts in the Coven.

PDP House is falling down, falling down, falling down
PDP House is falling down, my dear members.

Incompetent politicians that have been destroying Nigerians and wishing the Progressives evil are the ones crumbling like a pack of cards.

Nigerians United and let us take back our nation. God bless Nigeria.

He added, “We are united. We have resolved to support whoever emerges.

This part will hurt PDP the most. APC all the way!

dunkem21:
Enough said.

Treachery is the word; Let's watch and see how minority will rule over majority in a game of numbers.

The constitution does not say the party the Speaker will come from (minority or majority). But rather it stated that "Majority of the House Members will elect a Speaker"

Jonathan has failed Nigerians at all turn.

When you see a good man you will know. All the evil of PDP directed against him will all fail. PDP without knowing have made him more famous as he prepares for Sokoto Governorship Election.

Jonathan despises men of good character - Ask Tambuwal, Sanusi, Soludo, Rebadu, etc.

PDP that have been praying for evil to befall the Progressives, is falling apart by the day. The God of Nigeria is awake.

When you see a good man you will know. All the evil of PDP directed against him will all fail. PDP without knowing have made him more famous as he prepares for Sokoto Governorship Election.

How is GEJ benefiting

- Who will benefit if regions that Jonathan get the least vote cannot even vote for his opponent? (Jonathan)
- Who demanded and got a $1,000,000,000 loan to squander? (Jonathan)
- Who is inflating Security budget year after year? (Jonathan)
- Who is blaming his failures on Boko Haram? (Jonathan)
- How protecting and hanging out with known Boko Haram sponsors? (Jonathan)
- Who is awarding Security contracts and getting fat kickbacks? (Jonathan)
- Who smuggled $15m to South Africa in the name of fighting Boko Haram? (Jonathan)
- Who has refused to prosecute even a single Boko Haram Sponsor? (Jonathan)

Jonathan is main and only beneficiary of a prolonged Boko Haram Crisis

We have security crisis and leadership failure on our hand, now some deluded PDP thugs wants to pitch Christians against Muslims. God forbid!

lwise:
They reportedly told the panicked residents not to worry as they were after security operatives.

Please our Soldiers after shooting all your bullets, remove your cloth and wear mufti. Soon some pot-belle people at DHq will be looking for people to arrest for running away, when they have not even visited the place.

Jonathan is a personification of a Failed Leader.

Under the administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, Patriotism to the Nation has been reduced to Loyalty to Jonathan and his Wife.

At this rate, we may not be far from it

Jonathan is a failure.

Your here dropping big big grammar while Lassa Fever is ravaging Oyonistan.
Very soo all you Yorubas in NL will require clearance card to comment to show you dont infect the community with Lassa Fever anf Guinea Worm

There has been a fresh outbreak of Lassa fever in Oyo state. This comes barely one week after Nigeria was officially declared Ebola-free. The spread of the hemorrhagic fever has been confirmed by State Commissioner for Health, Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin.
Gbadegesin, who spoke to journalists in Ibadan, said there has been a confirmation of no fewer than 10 cases of Lassa fever in the state, three of which came in from another state. He reiterated that the government was in total control of the situation.
“We are already working to bring it under control. We are doing the best to curtail it. We have what it takes to manage it very well. I only want to appeal to our people to be very hygienic and when they feel that something is wrong with our system, we should go to the hospital for proper diagnosis of their sickness and treatment,” the commissioner said.

What has this got to do with the crisis of PDP in Enugu State? Please don't drag ignorance to anything 042. Anyi an aghi azu di ara (we don't run an asylum on this thread)

@Post:
Maybe Kwankwoso is the cause of PDP woos and why Chime is forcing "Gburugburu" on the State of Enugu.

Sam Ndah/Fashola will make a winning ticket but the Gambaris would not accept for sure. I favor APC but just can't reconcile with this Buhari of a guy. My sub conscious mind can't just accept him, don't know why.

@Bold:
You have no problem in you "sub consciousness". It is just that like many, you are a victim of PDP systematic mental implantation that connotes that a Nigerian cannot be upright and that those who are exception are some how evil in secret. So they bombard us with many propaganda, lies and fabrications for 15yrs now that we hate each other without any valid reason.

Here is my advice:
"...free yourself from mental slavery" - Bob Marley

God bless Nigeria!

I think you are still missing the point. As I said before, the onus cannot interpret the law. As such, it is not their business whether the proviso

So theirs is to selectively push whatever they want, if you do not like it Go To Court.

Let me tell you those that own the strategy - PDP - They rig every election and ask you to Go To Court, if you don't like.

As you can see, it is placing the cart before the Horse and doing all they can to justify the PDP Self Help on this issue.

Before the Author started looking for way to justify PDP illegality, here is what he wrote:

...the Nigerian Police lacks the power and competence to interpret provisions of the constitution as only the judiciary can play that role. I agree.

Jonathan, 2015 and threats by fire-spitting militants
http://www.punchng.com/opinion/viewpoint/jonathan-2015-and-threats-by-fire-spitting-militants/

For Buhari, APC and their Supporters - all is a free and fair process. Not the one that one that the SSS, Police, DSS and Army will be harassing and detaining the members of the Oppositions the forth Night till after election. And we have never seen you write against such suppression and intimidation. You are just concerned if any of those harassed got angry. #hypocrisy

muami:
Constitutional issues and criminal law are tow different. Where a constitution stipulates that someone should vacate his office following the occurrence of an act, the the police must enforce the law when that act occurs. If the relevant officer feels aggrieve or has any reason why he should not vacate office, the onus is on him to go to court to show cause. If he is able to do so, then he can regain his office.

@Bold:
When the same portion of the constitution clearly stated that "in case of a division in the party he is decamping from" - how then can the Police bestow on itself the responsibility to Interpret the constitution, ignore the second paragraph and execute the agenda of the President that has been having midnight meeting with the PDP lawmakers the previous night threatening the Speaker.

It Nigerian Police and not PDP Police. I have no problem with Tambuwal losing his position, but the fact is that like many other decisions of Jonathan, this is abuse of power. Trying to muscle through PDP Self-Help is a bad precedence.

APC will go through the appropriate process to present the most formidable Team for 2015.

PDP should stop trying to determine APC candidates that will favour Jonathan. Someone should inform the Coven that the quest to install Ikimi as Chairman failed. (By now who knows the magnitude of headache the man would have been causing the progressives.)

Progressive Nigeria - all the way!

muami:
@egift, for ease of reference, I have reproduced the Supreme Court's views on the legal implication of defection? Can you please stop being emotional and address the LAW?

Until the cases of defection of the 5 Governors and that of the PDP Law-makers that left for APC is decided by the Court, the IG has no power to decide Tambuwal Speakership Position. Stop placing the cart before the horse.

PDP is exploring everything they can pull to intimidate Tambuwal. In fact PDP plan is to see if they can get him off as a lawmaker.

Tambuwal destination is Sokoto State Government House. PDP is fighting irrelevant battle.

muami:
Obviously, you didn't read the OP otherwise yo wouldn't be arguing with yourself an emboldening a fact that is not in dispute. No one is arguing that the IGP has power to interpret laws. He does not. However, the police has powers to enforce the role. There is a difference between enforcement or laws and interpretation of laws. When a Governor leaves office by impeachment, do the police need the court to interpret the impeachment laws before withdrawing security? When a Governor's tenure comes to an end by effluxion of time, do the police need to interpret the laws on tenure before withdrawing security? When a legislator tenure comes to an end after four years, do the police need a court to interpret the laws on tenure before de-recognizing? If your answers to the above question is all NO, how come we now expect the police to go to court to interpret the law on defection when a legislator vacates his seat by defecting?

That said, I can see you are shying away from law and making over-simplistic emotional arguments. I quoted law, I even cited a Supreme Court case that says when a member of the house defects, 'HE IS DEEMED IN LAW TO HAVE AUTOMATICALLY VACATED HIS SEAT'. In fact, the court went further to state clearly that 'NO OTHER INTERPRETATION can be given to section 68(1) (g). Can we therefore challenge these points with law (i.e quote laws and judicial decisions to support you point) rather than emotions?

I read the piece and like him you are placing the cart before the horse. The fact remains that he is yet to loose his Speakership Position, which can be achieved on the floor of the house and in the Court. It is also run to preempt the process.

E.G: When someone is seen red-handed stealing, when the police get him the will not send him to jail directly because everyone saw the guy - he will be taken to the court for judgment.

What have in the current crisis is that PDP do not have the required Votes to pursue the legal process involved, so they are using impunity to muscle their intentions.

I repeat, the IG has no power to decide if Tambuwal is a Speaker of Nigeria's House of Representatives or Not. It is not in place to decide for the House who is Speaker and Who is not - Members of the House and the Court have that responsibility.

PDP is seeking Self-Help, it is very wrong and threatens our Democracy.

What the Legislative arm of Government do in the House remains in the Green Chamber. PDP are looking to how to clamp down on the Legislative Arm of Government and detect its activities from outside.

For 15yrs PDP have been sowing evil at all level of government that will take Generations to uproot. There are 3 Arms of Government that are Equal within the context of their privileges as provided by the constitution. Jonathan is just trying to make the House subjective to its illegalities.

The fact remains: The IG of Police has no authority bestow on himself the responsibility of interpreting the Law - that is the sole duty of the court. The Speaker has neither been impeached nor prohibited by the Court.

Even if you are accused of any crime, the duty of the Police is to take you to court for judgement. It is sad that for some political expediencies, some folks are supporting illegality, impunity and abuse of power. It is wrong.

I prefer a zoologist as long as he's not an aboki!

It just proves you an ethic bigot. Your choice have no bearing on competence. Nigerians are voting Jonathan because he is competence in leading the Nation.

1shortblackboy:
but u won't see any massive rigging if ur candidate wins ? Its only wen ur guy loses then d election wasn't free and fair. After every election lawyers gather to chop because election tribunal naim be d business !

Anyone that knows me, will tell you am all for a free and fair elections. It is not a Do Or Die affairs for us. And if I am playing for the cash, I will be where they are sharing the looted NNPC $20b, etc.

Every well meaning Nigerian is supporting Buhari so that we can have a system that works - with a level playing ground, every Nigerian will have the opportunity to make it without Bribing or Man-Know-Man that Jonathan is presiding over.

since goodluck jonathan is from bayelsa then it means that GEJ is the devil??

Wakacome, kindly read what you wrote initially and stop spinning the issue.

wakacome:
The devil you know is better than the angel you do not know........some fools will not understand what this statement means,an example is the person below me... that is why common sense is not always common

Then read my response again.

egift:
Nigerians do not want to have anything to do with the "Devil" again. We are kicking out the "Devil" back to Bayelsa.

Hope it makes sense now. FYI, you are he one who described him as a "Devil". It has nothing to do with where he came from or him being a Zoologist by profession.
