Their Salvation rally or whatsoever NEVER obstruct nor hinder the Police to carry out their lawful duties but Police action does that to the Parliament. While the jumping of the fence do not befit the HoR members but they are let with no option than to jump over. Note that they have the prior knowledge that Tambuwal will be impeached (as planned in Ekiti, that is why all 19 APC lawmakers were not in the state yesterday because of fear of unknow).
The IGP said the Police acted on report holidums invading the chambers, they allow PDP members in, stop APC members including the known person of Tambuwal as the status quo Speaker. As a political analyst, the Presidency writing Tambuwal on extension of emergency rule was to lure in into recovening the House (because it has now drawn on them that only Tambuwal can reconvene). The writting of Tambuwal by Presidency is signalling that the Presidency is recognising Tambuwal as the Speaker while the President, PDP and IGP are playing another script.

The script was to allow the house recovene by Tambuwal, block him and other APC members has they can get the required number of quorum to sit, motion move to impeached Tambuwal, and Tambuwal will be impeached even without 2/3 majority and the President like Fayose will congratulate the new Speaker as Jonathan is recognise Jang is the NGF leader with 16 votes against Ameachi with 19 votes. That is why these APC lawmakers (in my own opinion) goes that extent....I think they as far as we should not celebrate the action of jumping over the fence, we should also not comdened them for same action. Because is not that actions of them, news headline will have been similar to that Ekiti since yesterday.

Let us all fight against impunity because today is Tambuwal (a northerner) tomorrow it might be us and remember that history has a way of repeating itself, if we can not all stand against this high level impunity and lawlessness by this current FG under Jonathan will may find ourselves to balme in the nearest future when the history will repeat itself ten fold simultanously.

You should educate your foot soldiers and equip them with information. Rather than correcting your bro that it is not two members that scaled fences, you resorted to cheap insult(and dont even think you can withstand my bad mouth) . You are too inconsequential to give me a ban.

Lawmakers jumped fence professionally and you ask me to shut up? ..and celebrate them?

What morals do we want to inculcate to our children; the youth of tomorrow.

And finally, What if its GEJ that was captured scaling a fence; what will be your reaction?

Double face ninja.

NASS Chaos: Sagay, others condemn police action at National Assembly
A constitutional lawyer, Itse Sagay, has condemned Thursday’s action by the police at the National Assembly complex.

There was chaos when the police locked the gates of the National Assembly against the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal, and some legislators who wanted to gain entrance.
Some of the lawmakers and their aides were also tear gassed by the security operatives in the process before they were able to get it.
Speaking in a telephone interview with NAN in Lagos, Mr. Sagay said the action of the police on the legislators portends a great danger to Nigeria’s democracy.

He said: “What transpired today at the National Assembly portends a great danger to Nigeria’s democracy.
“For the police to have attacked the legislature, which is the second arm of government, such an attack must have been sanctioned from above.
Sagay advised security operatives to maintain neutrality at all times, adding that they had no constitutional powers to interfere with legislative processes.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria also warned those in power not to throw away Nigeria’s hard won democracy because of inordinate ambitions and selfish interests.
Speaking similarly, Onyekachi Ubani, a former Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ikeja branch, urged Nigerian leaders to focus on the current challenges being faced by the country.
“We are battling with austerity, we are battling with the state of insecurity, we are battling with low levels of infrastructures and Nigerians are really suffering.

“But in the light of all these, our leaders are only fighting themselves and looking for more political powers. It is so shameful,” Mr. Ubani said.
He also flayed the police for attempting to stop the House of Representative members from performing their constitutional duties.
Mr. Ubani said: “What is the business of the security agencies in stopping legislators elected by the people from coming into the house?
“It is not their job to do whatever they did this morning. They allowed some persons in and stopped others which showed that they were clearly partisan.
He noted that while it was shameful to see lawmakers scaling the fence to gain entrance into the complex, those who did so were only out to prove a point.
“They were only trying to prove a point that not even the police can stop them from carrying out the responsibility entrusted to them by the Constitution,” Mr. Ubani said.
Human Rights lawyers, Fred Agbaje and Kayode Ajulo, also condemned action of the Police.
In his reaction, Mr. Agbaje, told NAN in a telephone interview that what the policemen did was “sacrilegious”.
“The attack by the police on the National Assembly was unwarranted and is capable of truncating our democracy,” Mr. Agbaje said.
On the constitutional right of the Senate President, David Mark, to adjourn sitting of the assembly until next week following the police invasion, Mr. Agbaje said that Mark had the right to do so.
“He is the head of the National Assembly and has the right to adjourn if the members were in danger of an attack,” he said.
Mr. Ajulo, told NAN that “police incessant dabbling into the nation’s politics has got to stop”.
He advised the IG to call his men to order especially now that politicking for 2015 was gathering momentum. (NAN)

Don't mind them, they thought they could lock all APC reps outside and solely carry out their devilish act just like 7 PDP reps "impeached" their speaker on their own accord. I suppot the actions of those reps FULLY.

Important question: Was it Tambuwal who was supposed to be locked outside or all APC Reps?

Trouble began when Tambuwal arrived and sought to drive into the Complex, but was stopped by the police.
The Speaker, who was accompanied by other lawmakers who are his loyalists, mostly members of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, then alighted from his vehicle trekked from the gates to the main complex, a distance of over 500 metres amid a hail of teargas by the police.

The Speaker whose security details have been ordered withdrawn by Suleiman Abba, the Inspector General of Police, following the defection has filed a suit to stop his removal by the PDP caucus of the House led by Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha.
P.M.NEWS learnt that members of the House were anxious over speculations that the Presidency, which is still smarting from the defection of the Speaker, may employ extra constitutional means to stop Tambuwal from presiding when the House reconvened on Thursday.
It was believed that the move to stop the Speaker from entering the National Assembly on Thursday was in furtherance of the move by the PDP using the police to remove him.

ayukdaboss:
Let them not be deceived. Nobody is going to take rubbish anymore from these useless people.

ayukdaboss:
You have no point. I'm in full support of what those reps did. Yesterday 7 PDP lawmakers were irresponsible enough to declare their speaker impeached at Ekiti. When PDP lawmakers were before hand allowed access into the house and all APC members locked outside, it was already obvious the plans of PDP to solely impeach Tambuwal Speaker. I support their actions FULLY.

Descartes:
Elder Gbawe, the epistle writer, I can't you pass across a message without resorting to abuse?
Please learn how to counter argument without resorting to cheap shots.
Your case is very pathetic.

dunkem21:
Did you just say 2 fence jumpers?

I think you are the one to get your facts right before quoting, pls!

I ask again, whats the General's take on fence jumpers

dunkem21:
And whats your take on the professional fence scalers? Oh, Its not corruption.

Double face musketeers.

Obiagelli:
You are right about discipline.

Desola:
Oh see my president! He is so classy!

donphilopus:
Bros, I never knew you could write this brief o. Anyways, it's because of our General, President-in-waiting.

Walelavender:
GEJ should just put on the khaki to show he is finally the Dictator we have been waiting for; he should stop disguising. This is embarrassing for our democracy. Why are our law enforcement officers behaving as animals; quite unprofessional and barbaric. We can never move forward with this type of leadership at the centre. This do-or-die politicking will ruin Nigeria. Posterity will never forgive those who have plunged this country to the abyss of failure # God save Nigeria

"Count Middle Belt Out." Victorciza, na only you waka.
@He who sows to the wind should expect to reap from the whirlwind. Jonathan is only being paid in his own coin for dividing the nation along tribal and religious lines. The APC National Chairman, John Oyegun, this morning on NTA said the PDP is showing a video that paints the APC in bad light in some churches. Oga Gbawe, can you give us update on this? How true is it?

PhockPhockMan:
Amaechi looks so frustrated in the picture.
What is he drinking, pepsi or coke?

soroptimist:
The guy simply latched on the desperation of the GEJ promoters who might have struck a deal with him to say the Miyeti Allah endorses GEJ in order to send a signal to the undiscerning that GEJ has support even amongst the Fulanis despite the fact that the SE/SS Halleluyah boys of GEJ always insult them as nonentities and Almajiris

The guy simply cut a deal for himself and must be smiling to the Bank now suspension or no suspension

Nobody should ever be fooled over the cash-induced endorsement that GEJ promoters have been going about looking for especially in the North when we know the fact is that the Northerners are patiently waiting to deal a mortal electoral blow on GEJ

Not even the Northern Governors of PDP extraction will be able to save GEJ........unless they want to incur the wrath of the people

PaulJohn1:
Truly impressive. But I believe more can be done.
It is very important that states diligently look inward and exploit all means available to increase their IGRs, because of the current decrease in oil price. Many states' monthly allocation have been drastically reduced that if it continues like it's going, many states won't be able to survive. Since the FG that has been doling out money everymonth itself is going broke.

I'm sure Ogun's IGR is mainly from tax, thanks to the high numbers of private higher institutions(highest in the country), massive cement and steel rolling factories scattered allover the state. But this is not enough. The government should look into service rendering (transport services like lightrail...) and production.

Towards A Mega City: Amosun Signs MOU On Light Rail Project

Ogun State Government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on light rail mass transit with the China Civil Engineering Construction Company that will link major cities in the state as well as boost its economy.

While signing the MOU in his Oke-Mosan Office in Abeokuta, Governor Ibikunle Amosun noted that there can be no development without putting the necessary infrastructures in place. He said “ We have been doing our best on roads but it is high time we paid attention to rail as well. We are starting the mass transit within Abeokuta metropolis. This will be extended to all our major towns including the Ado-Odo/Ota axis which will encompass all the border area with Lagos”.

“Our first focus is intra city rail mass transit, thereafter we will embark on linking the cities together. Within the next couple of years, you will begin to see the results of what we are trying to do to improve transportation of goods and services”,he said.

Governor Amosun said it was imperative to boost transportation in the state since the state population is projected to rise significantly over the next couple of years.

In his remarks the Managing Director of China Civil Engineering Construction Company, Mr. Cao Bao Gang applauded the Senator Ibikunle Amosun-led administration for its developmental vision for the state, pointing out that, ’’ the project on completion will enhance the transportation system and contribute to the economic development of the Gateway State.’’

He assured that the highest quality will be deployed in the implementation of the project adding that ‘’it will provide jobs for residents and help the unskilled ones to gain adequate knowledge through training and involvement in the whole process.

The signing of the MOU was witnessed by top government functionaries including the Secretary to the State Government, Barrister Taiwo Adeoluwa, Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mrs. Abimbola Akeredolu, Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Alhaji Yusuph Olaniyonu as well as the Chinese Consul-General, Liu Xian Fa, among others.

PaulJohn1:
Madam, if those before Amosun have done what the governor is doing presently in term of urban renewal and provision of necessary infrastructures that'll make the state a comfortable place for those living there, all these points you listed would be what he'll be working on now.
It's a step at a time.
No doubt there are LOTS to be done.

Ogun Government Donates 50 Patrol Vans To Police
December 23, 2013 in Ogun News Leave a comment

Ogun-gives-50-patrol-vehicles-to-policeGovernor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state, western Nigeria boosted the protection of the citizens by donating
50 patrol vehicles to the Police and other security agencies.
Fourty-five of the patrol Hilux vehicles were bankrolled with the proceeds from the State Security Trust Fund, while the state government paid for additional five vehicles.
To Governor Amosun, the provision of vehicles to the police should serve as a signal for the hoodlums and criminals that they should not undermine the festive period in the state.
At the brief handover ceremony at the arcade ground, Okemosan, Abeokuta, Amosun said his administration had spent about N10b in providing security for the people of the state.
He said that his administration would continue to provide enabling environment for the residents and investors alike as part of rebuilding mission of his government.
“Because security to one is security to all, we are determined to ensure that our people are safe and our investors too are safe. In the last two years, at least by the end of the outgoing year, we as a
government have spent about N10b to provide security for the state, and we are pleased by the effort, as it is yielding results. The Security Watch again for the second time has recognized us as the best
in terms of security”, Amosun stated.
The governor commended the Security Trust Fund for the gesture.

PaulJohn1:
Wow! Impressive. Gradually, Ogun state is reducing her dependence on Federal allocation.
Lagos has done it.
Wish ever states of the federation can also do this. Federal allocation should be some sort of bonus and emergency intervention funds.

From my rough calculation.
If Ogun state generate an internal revenue of N99.35b in 2015, which is 47.23% of a budget of N210.354b.
Then the state generates N8.279 each month.

Awesome.

Gbawe you should not have engaged that nonentity with a response. He is as empty and useless as the moniker he uses.

Please learn to ignore people. Check their previous post on NL then you will realise there are just waste of space.
