Some naive people are saying these 17 Lawmakers have broken the law because they dont have the Mace and therefore their actions are invalid?
Some even said "matter is in court" when the law says (from the onset) you cannot deprive a validly elected Representative from "representing" their people, using "Executive Power".

Here this:
The Mace is just a symbol of the House proceedings, if it is not availbale, other "symbolic" item can be used to stand in its place.

When Chuba Okadigbo was about to be impeached as Senate President, he stole the Mace and went to hide it in his village home in Ogbunigwe.
The House met and used another "OBJECT" that looked like a Mace (just as l can see here, in the sitting of the 17 Edo Lawmakers) and removed Chuba Okadigbo.
He proceeded to the Court to challenge that removal and the Court affirmed that it was in order and he was validly removed.

So, everything that these 17 Legislators are doing, are bvacked by the law and they can actually impeach Obaseki, if they want but l dont think that would be necessary, in my own opinion. He is a drowned man already.

The Legislators have written to the AGF of Nigeria, intimating him of their resolution and the chaos that Obaseki is creating by sealing the House of Assembly.
The AGF in turn has written to the I.G. of Police requesting him to provide full security for the operation of the House of Assembly and to ensure they were not prevented from carrying out their Democratic responsibilities.
To "seal" all these, the Legislators also went to "pay a visit" to Mr. President and present Ize-Iyamu to him and he ENDORSED them, as President and leader of the APC.
In Nigerian Politics, if you dont know what that means, then you are naive

Now, what can Obaseki do, without the support of the Security agencies (Police, DSS, NCDF)?
If Obaseki and all the Thugs that Wike imported from the ND dont behave themselves, then the President would draft in the Army and we all know that the Nigerian Army's best performance (and indeed our Security agencies in general), happens when they are maiming Nigerians .
So, any Political Thug that wants to die, should go and start misbehaving in Edo State.

In Summary, Obaseki's 2nd term Governorship ambition and this Thugs are HISTORY.
Take this to the bank, so to speak.

So the IPOB protest was what? Skull mining?

meccuno:
Afonja people Sha no wan get sense. When they were protesting against Jonathan and supporting a well known jihadist and Bigot did they think they would get power back? The average Northerners don't regard us in the south as equals but with all the Education you would think it is directly proportional to wisdom. This is just the beginning.
