OGHENAOGIE:
they should go to court...then you have a point though but quorum was set even if na ungodly hour

The minority faction has gone to court to stop the majority

Warship:


Your presentation is to a high degree correct.

Etuk was a Biafran leading an invasion against his fellow Biafrans just as Afonja a Yoruba led Fulanis to conquer his people.

As our people say, It is the inside rat that tells the outside rat that fish is inside & show it how to get the fish

Generalpatton there is no difference between Igbos & Akwa Cross people. Even our terrains & thinking pattern are 90% similar.

Oga,there's a big difference oh except you are a yoruba.most yorubas think that all ss are still igbos.the difference is same as there is between igalas and knows.etuk was never a biafran since he never fought or associated with them therefore he was a Nigerian.the terrain is not the same.the akwa cross terrain is more coastal highly fertile like the one in benue and taraba.both akwa ibom and cross river are made up of several ethnicities.do not take away anything from etuk's outstanding prowess.
Again,liberating the minorities of the then biafra was very easy because they were never in support except few of them.the real battle was in the south east.etuk knew nothing about that side

The tribunal verdict was passed by the people of Knot Ekpene Senatorial District and packaged inside ball it box addressed to INEC.

If he likes let him call Buhari to witness for him

Guy leave am.all evidences shows that akpabio was rigged out.ukaraakpa can never win akpabio in any contest.even in his village,akpabio is more popular.luckily the case stops at the appeal court which is prone to cancelling elections plus apc has a strong say there.akpabio has this

tempest01:



Lol damaging evidences from ward results they were payed to rig abi..

If I hear say court admit that rigged results.

Seems you are not familiar with election cases so ill pardon you.when you take an election petition to a court,whether you rigged or try to rig doesn't matter.it goes to even prove that the election was not credible.with akpabio substantially proving that he won heavily in essien udim but was denied and was rigged out inorder lgas,he will prevail.i assure yoh

fringz11:



Sharap.......where you at Metro rd.

Am experienced in election petition cases so shut down

Seetto:

Hypocrisy at his peak, if it is the other round way round, you will claim foul that it is a rape on democracy...

I won't.am fair minded and objective.i was even expecting the majority faction to go to court not the minority

Awol1:


He's losing because Oshiomole ordered the IGP to seal the assembly complex?

Do you have any other hope?

Oshiomhole isn't even a factor self.for a governor of a stats to go to court,what does that tell you? Continue failing and living in deceit

Awol1:
This one is Akpabio media propaganda.

And to crown the stupidity of this report, it is sourceless

Guy,stop embarrassing yourself if you have not been following akpabio tribunal case.for the first time,his witnesses did well.they have presented damaging evidences and the protest of the pdp lawyers summarized everything.pdp seems to have given akpabio a strong advantage through that document

Frankiss44:
Bala Mohammed playing the real game of thrones

Let him consult tambuwal for tutorials

Awol1:


The choice of the majority that stood in front of a concrete mace outside the legislative building to inaugurate themselves without the clerk of the house?

Did the 11 form a qourum?

Did the Constitution say whether majority or minority should produce the speaker?

Did the Constitution state what time the house shall be inuagrated?

So if u were Bala Muhammed, you will let a time bomb be planted around you so that you could be impeached at the flimsiest of reasons?

This is power play.

Not a church program.

a power play that he is losinh

SachaBastien:

I was not referring to your opinion and that of Mr. Oshiomhole, I was referring to law. Read your constitution properly.

I think you should do the reading mr

tuniski:
Even his election he had only 30k votes.

Better than saraki.common,you should be used to political exaggerations

pchukwudi:
That's how it took you more than 5 years to realize that rooting for APC was a wrong choice.

The current US admin is DEMANDING for a fair and just trade relations. But countries - like China and EU - which got so rich largely by reaping off the American benevolence have gotten so addicted to it that they do not wish to lift a finger and do what's right.

Thing is, China is hoping that Trump will lose reelection. But that's a huge miscalculation. Trump will win with a landslide. And China will lose good will, get worse off in terms of bargaining chip, and would have to beg or resort to going rogue. The US has already won this war.

And you guys should learn to thank God that it's the US that's the global hegemony, and not any other country - like China, Russia, Iran or even Germany/the EU.

Believe it or not, the world's continued liberty is directly tied to the continued strength and progress of the US. If you guys bring the US down, you'd bring your world down. You guys should quit taking this global liberty for granted.

I agree with you sir

jlinkd78:
Is this a recent pronouncement or same toothless judgment of several years ago

Its a past judgment and it has teeth

I hope this injunction means a status quo and also means that the illegal speaker and deputy of the pdp faction is barred.there is no speaker in bauchi

MetaPhysical:


Thanks for inviting me to talk on a matter concerning SE. In case you were not aware, Ibos in Nairaland banned me from talking about their region. Ordinarily, and to respect the ban, I would not have said a word about this article but since an invitation like this is a voluntary solicitation for my input then I do not consider it ordinary at all, I am hereby returning the honor and giving my full input on this article.

First, I say may the souls of the gallant soldiers that served their various fatherlands on both sides of the dispute rest in peace.

Second, no one who put up show of gallantry and bravery in the war should be dismissed as anything but a hero and a brave warrior. War is not for simpletons. In the old days of yore when men go to war they scheduled it so that they will minimize suffering and hardship on the manpower at the fore front. Therefore wars were not fought during planting season or hunting season. You needed men in the field to plant crops and in forest to bring meat, you needed the iron for farming implements, not for forging swords, axe, machettes, daggers and arrows and darts or guns. With time and due to better means of farming and hunting, it was no longer necesaary to schedule wars and we started having spontaneous wars. It was reported that during Dahomey, Oyo wars if they were still on battle field when rains started Commanders on Gezo side will call for cease fire to allow return to farmlands. When they did not stop they would raid farmlands along the way to sustain supplies.

Biafran war was spontaneous, not well thought out. The cause was legitimate, the implementation was disastrous. The disasters came primarily from two sources - supplies and timing!

Third, in a war certain resources are key to success but here I will mention just one because it keys into your topic. Native help on enemy side! This resource is the make and break of all scopes in security and peace engagements.

The defeat of Yoruba by Fulani was possible because Afonja, himself Yoruba, marched against Oyo with Yoruba Baloguns. The counter-defeat of Fulani by Yoruba was also possible because when Ibadan captured the enemy camps they would set free the Fulanis but slaughter the Yorubas amongst them. They recognized without the Yorubas Fulani was not a match.

Colonel UTUK (Etuk) is a native in the Biafran territory. If he did not lead the front who else should?

So the mention that he led the advance force into territories in Biafra should not be the herald point for his heroism.

None of the Baloguns who led Afonja into Oyo is a hero today, nonetheless no Emir can sit on Ilorin throne without their say so and approval.

Utuk's heroism should come from patriotism and ideology. Bring him into political limelight through his political feats, and no just because he used his knowledge of terrain to assist invasion against his land.

Its a good topic and Colonel Utuk deserve good mention acknowledging his ideology and patriotism.

etuk is from akwaibom while his exploits were mostly in iboland

OGHENAOGIE:
you post speaks of double standards...if it is logical for Buhari to have his preference then gorvenos to can...the thing is some persons want to undermine the gorvenors in those states..

No,no double standards.both buhari and governors can have the preferences but governors should not use extra legal means to impose their choice and latercontrol the assembly totally.it should end in having a choice,endorsing them and working within the ambits of the law to see their victory.

OGHENAOGIE:
the president doesn't even have to suggest in the ist place so if president can suggest then the gorvenos can to..
why is that the party and some persons want to undermine obasaki in edo state... is it not double standard unlike Buhari with nass??
what is the business of former bauchi governor with the house there if not to cause trouble for bala and pdp he should focus on tribunal if he feels he has a case...rather than galvanising lawmakers to repeat how balarabe was removed in 1979 as kaduna gorveno when he was prp and the house was npn...
if we follow democrat tenets from top to bottom in Nigeria all this noise no go de...

You are a self acclaimed democrat and non partisan and must always abide by this ideals.though we dont practice democracy fully,we must continually strive to do the right thing legally.in democracy,everyone has a say or a choice or fundamental human rights including the president and the governors.they have a right to support anybody they want to head the legislature,you cannot deny them.it is legal.it is only when they use force or extra legal means to achieve this as seen in those two states that we must resist.
In all states,the assemblies are completely in control of the governors especially when majority are in the same party with the governor.even the lgas are under the control of the governor.therefore at the federal level,the president must at least prefer someone within his party which is in order.
What is happening in edo and bauchi is purely illegal.no matter how you are pained by the happenings in the recent nsss polls,everything was in order.they kept to time and everyone was present and voted,nobody was coerced and no complsimts from the losers.therefore,same should happen in edo and bauchi.at least a simple majority of all the members elect is what is needed not all members.you can see what happened in sokoto and adamawa.
Based on the above assertions,i urge you to align with my opinion and consent this illegal acts

I think its the relatively unknown colonel e.a etuk who was the brain behind all the victories of colonel adekunle.below is a brief history about him.

Notes on key commanders during the siege of Owerri



FEDERAL NIGERIAN SIDE



Colonel E.A. Etuk (rtd)



Throughout this essay I have referred to this fine officer as “Etuk.” In some publications he is referred to as “Utuk” but I have used “Etuk” because that is what was used in the most recent official Army publication on the Civil War. Colonel EA Etuk (rtd) [N415] was admitted to the “Boys Company” (Nigerian Military School) in 1954 at age 14. In 1958, he graduated from NMS and was a soldier at the officer preparatory school at Apapa in Lagos. He was selected for further officer cadet training at Fort Dix in New Jersey, followed by six months of cavalry and armored training at Fort Knox in Kentucky, both in the United States – as part of the USAAF Officer Leadership Training program of that era. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in June 1963, underwent further training and was welcomed home in 1964 by then Defence Minister, Alhaji Muhammadu Ribadu.



Etuk served as a subaltern in the 4th Battalion at Ibadan under the late Lt. Col. Abogo Largema. As a Captain he was deployed to the 2nd Brigade at Apapa under the late Brigadier Zakaria Maimalari. During the count down to the war he rejected an invitation by Colonel Effiong to return to the eastern region to fight under Ojukwu. He was subsequently a staff officer (operations), charged with weapons acquisition under Lt. Col. Iliya Bissala at AHQ and went on arms purchasing missions abroad for Nigeria at the onset of the civil war. In October 1967, Lt. Col. Bissala prevented then Lt. Col. Murtala Mohammed from drafting Etuk to the 2nd Division for the disastrous Onitsha assault river crossing. However, he was later literally “hijacked” by Lt. Col. B.A.M. Adekunle and deployed to the 3rd Division as the Officer Commanding the 8 Battalion in Calabar. After battalion operations in the Calabar-Itu-Ikot-Ekpene axis he was redeployed to Port Harcourt as Commander, 16 Brigade. As a Field Major, he took part in the successful 3MCDO campaign for Port Harcourt along with officers like Lt. Col. Filemon Shande, Lt. Col. Pius Eromobor, Major George Innih, and (initially) Adaka Boro, among others.



After the fall of Port Harcourt, Etuk was tasked (as a Field Lt. Col.) with the capture of Owerri as part of “Operation OAU”.



As the commander of the subsequently beleaguered 16th Brigade, he emerged among all the Nigerian field commanders of the civil war as the most highly thought of by his Biafran opponents. According to Madiebo,



“….. the enemy force at Owerri which was the [16] Brigade under a young Calabar officer called Utuk [Etuk], was easily the best fighting unit fielded by Nigeria throughout the war. Right from Port Harcourt, and particularly at Afam, it had become obvious that the Brigade was a force well led. Inside Owerri, they fought with extraordinary courage, flexibility and determination. The withdrawal of the Brigade from Owerri was tactically tidy and well planned and executed. Without doubt no other Nigerian Brigade could have withstood for more than a month the punishment the enemy [16] Brigade absorbed with patience for over four months. Only that Brigade could have got out of Owerri under the circumstances.”



After the Owerri debacle, Lt. Col. Etuk was temporarily appointed Garrison Commander for Port Harcourt before returning to command the newly reinvigorated 16 Brigade under the new 3MCDO Commander during “Operation Tail Wind” – the final offensive of the war. His second-in-command this time around was Captain Buhari, a former NCO and concessional commissioned officer who had distinguished himself during the Owerri breakout.



However, Madiebo is not the only former Biafran military leader to complement Etuk. When the war finally ended in January 1970, after Ojukwu and Madiebo had fled into exile, Etuk joined then Colonel Obasanjo for a meeting with the Biafran high command, which was going through the process of surrendering. After the formal introductions, Colonel Joe ‘Hannibal‘ Achuzia, who mostly commanded the Biafran ‘Republic of Benin’ Division but had faced Etuk in battle at various times in Port Harcourt and Owerri, asked,



“Are you the Etuk who gave us all these headaches and all these troubles?”



Etuk later privately hosted former Biafran Chief of General Staff and COS (DHQ) Major General Phillip Effiong for a meal. Effiong reportedly said:



“You, this boy, you gave us headache.”

faceURfront:
Sometimes immoral actions are not illegal

You are right but there's nothing legal here.anything not recognized by law is illegal

Racoon:
The leadership constituted are illegal gven the shady circumstances wherein the both HOAs were convened.
Meanwhile, Karma always have a way of paying us back as Oshiomole once said;

You couldn't have said it better.the bauchi governor could have copied the template set by the sokoto and adamawa govs in installing their choices

OGHENAOGIE:
abi na... quorum was formed but timing is the issue...those who supported Buhari and presidency interference in legislative matter una see what executive influence can cause...
no come de shout Buhari no impose they were voted...these ones were voted too...

I dont see the comparison here.buhari proclamation letter stated 10am and it started exactly at 10,almost all members of nass were present.were these obtainable in the two states? There is nothing wrong in a governor or president having a favorite but going about it the right way is the issue

tuniski:

Yes, if at inauguration properly served, only 5 elected members showed up, the five elect the leadership.

Don't be emotional. The quorum only comes to play after inauguration. Inauguration is not a function of quorum but a compulsory process. If however, legislators are absent Like it happened in senate in 2015, those present will be inaugurated and elect the leadership. QED

Oga,our constitution and democracy is patterned after the us and the election of a speaker there is by absolute majority.why saraki election stood was because there was a simple majority of members present.even on channels TV yesterday,the pdp chairman in bauchi a lawyer claimed that 16embers were present and thereby satisfied the simple majority rule.
Again,you claim to be a democrat but it seems you are anti democratic in reality.democracy is all about giving as many people as possible a chance to partake directly or indirectly in state affairs.both majority and minority will have their say but the majority carries the day,it is simply a system where the majority decision always prevails not minority decision.therefore,9 and 11 members claiming to produce speakers when they are minority is clearly undemocratic and anyone supporting them like you is clearly not a democrat.rethink your ways
