Same quadrennial political stories. Madam tell us another one

FreeSpirited:
This is evidence to show these people are useless with no work to do. Just wasting our resources
How can people who have two months break be paid the highest salary and bonus when people who work 8 hours a day with no break collect minimum wage.
Why should a house of rep collect bigger salary than a consultant doctor. Make it make sense

Since you are more useful, why don't you resume plenary? More Grace to your elbow

OneCandleAway:
I need to clarify this to all APC corn lovers
Student loan is not an achievement. A lot of students aren't even on the loan. The person I am paying for isn't on loan. Before the student loan the fees were very affordable for everyone. Government can afford to subsidies tuition if the cut off unnecessary expenses they use to live Large. No student should graduate and be a debtor to a government that can't even provide enabling environment for industries and businesses.

PDP era of low affordable tuition is much better than APC student loan era.

Go back to the PDP era, who is stopping you

Natasha shebi you don resume. Go inside your office and chamber and do the needful. World strongest woman enter the chamber

Remember to warm your Eba chop, for here everybody is doing exponentially well ooooo

Penguin2:
She will officially become the first elected female governor in Nigeria.

My only grouse is that I used to think she is lettered with the way she wears eyeglasses but I was disappointed the day I heard her speak. She could barely jumble words together.

But it is what it is. I just hope she doesn’t turn out a disaster as governor.

We should stop handing leadership to illiterates to avoid us having the kind of disaster currently in Edo.

You that is lettered, what stops you from contesting?

Zionmdde:
The criticality of the positions matters not the numbers
CBN
NNPC
FIRS
NUPRC
NMDPRA
etc
Mostly headed by SW
Most positions occupied by SE are not useful at all

Before you say why complaining, no it's not a complain, I only advocate for people to own up to their nepotism with full chest. If you decide to be nepotistic then be proud of it

Nobody even send you. Kindly wait latest by 2039 or 2047, you guys can plant Emekus everywhere

Too much Igbolabi

As long as you guys won't come back here to shout Rigging, whatever gives you guys joy and inflammation is a welcome development comrades

NgeneUkwenu:
Tinubu, in 2027, Insha allah, will be the only Candidate with support across the entire 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

ATIKU- North East and North West
Obi- South East.
Tinubu- South West, South South, North Central, North West, North East and South East.

No permutation can defeat Tinubu in 2027.

Personally, I agree with you. Tinubu might win at least 30 states. The days ahead is indeed pregnant

Madam Senator, you no longer visit AriseTV for update. Your attention is needed ma

Dear ATIKU, be ready to be chased out of ADC after 2027 elections. Your political waka waka is long overdue

At least, Mr Obi will be there by next week to donate 10-20milla to Health or Nursing Department (if any) of the school. Snap with the year or two students. They will sing "na our Papa be this oooooo 😁😂🤣", the SAO will snap with him. And the rest will be history.

SenatorCharles1:
Now that they are on suspension, shey they're still getting their salary?

The SC agreed that it's the speaker who declares a seat of members vacant and not the court.
1. The members of the Fubara-backed HOA were already suspended by the Martins Amaewhule led faction while the Hallowed chamber had not been destroyed, therefore they remained suspended for the time being.
2. That by the time of the so-called defection of the 27 lawmakers, the hallowed chambers had been destroyed and so all actions and proceeding carried out outside of the chambers were null and void including their supposed defection.
Therefore, the SC declared their defection as a nullity saving them from losing their seat.

Congratulations sir for these perfect analysis. In fact, you are the world best Attorney General of The Federation. Take your medal and crown yourself the CJN comrade 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡. You too sabi politics, book and law.

SenatorCharles1:
Fubara did not declare their seat vacant, they did by themselves.

Though the SC abrakatabra saved them at the long run, the Gov was right to say they lost their seats.

I can explain how the SC saved them by a whisker

Waoooo. Now that you know all these, why them do you need President (the same man you never believed or recognize or the Supreme Court that you tag abrakadabra.....). With you on their side, they can resume without any further ado. Just make the declaration and life move on. Are you guys tired of protesting or the women are resting temporarily abi? Ekwueme Senator, just say the word, and the president will obey you sir

Burob:
Good for them, in all honesty, much ado about nothing, next time they will think properly before they embark on anyhow waka.

Fubara allowed his enemies to deceive him.

As of I read your post before dropping mine. They were all dancing to surugede forgetting the constitution. Now, the law court them off guard, this Charles is calling on the President. But you guys said you don't have president, you guys said his actions are illegal and does not meet constitutional requirements. How will a lawless man help you comrade? Anyway, wait for the additional 50Days (if they behave well, or prepare for 2027 elections.

SenatorCharles1:
The Rivers State House of Assembly Faces Imminent Constitutional Collapse—Lift the State of Emergency Now!!!


As of July 18, 2025, the State of Emergency imposed on Rivers State will have entered its fourth month. This prolonged suspension of the Rivers State House of Assembly is not only politically troubling—it is constitutionally catastrophic.

Under Section 104 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as amended, every State House of Assembly is required to sit for not less than 181 days in a legislative year. With four months of inactivity already elapsed, the Rivers State House of Assembly is now dangerously close to failing this constitutional threshold, which would render it illegitimate and legally defunct.

This is not speculation—it is precedent. In the recent ruling by Justice Binta Nyako, the Federal High Court declared the six-month suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan excessive, unconstitutional, and void, precisely because it denied her constituents representation and violated the 181-day sitting requirement. The same logic applies to Rivers State.

If the emergency continues:

- The Rivers State House of Assembly will lose its constitutional legitimacy
- All legislative actions may be nullified by the courts
- Rivers Citizens will remain unrepresented, violating democratic norms

Your Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Constitution does not empower emergency rule to override democratic representation.

The longer this continues, the deeper the damage to Nigeria’s federal integrity and democratic reputation.

I therefore urge you to:

1. Lift the State of Emergency in Rivers State immediately
2. Reinstate all elected members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and the Executives
3. Ensure compliance with Section 104 to preserve constitutional legitimacy

This is a defining moment for your administration. Let it be remembered for restoring democracy—not dismantling it.

Respectfully,


Sen. Charles O.

When your type and others were charging Funbara & his opponents to continue the gbasgbosology, you forgot that to every actions, there equal and opposite constitutional reactions. Una go learn lessons. Everybody body don calm down including AriseTV and their endless hosts of big big words. Ride on sir, tell the president he does not know the law. Infact, when they resume, you can file for court actions against them from acting

God1000:
May his soul rest in peace, we are all gonna die someday.


I voted for him in 2015, a decision I later regretted, I thought he was messiah we've been waiting for, but here we are today

May God forgive his sins

Regretting because you exercised your fundamental rights is not nice. You guys should stop taking this issues too personal. It is your duty to vote, it is the of those voted for to either perform well or fail

That is why Deeper Life and JW edge out. Irrespective of your status, they can collect microphone from your mouth if you are crossing the redline during service

"Na we develop Lagos with all our investments" says Ndi Mmanu

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Spiritualism:
I think the strength of Akpabio is overrated. His political strength is not beyond his minority tribe in Akwa Ibom

Let him face any consequence of his action.

What is the latest update about Akpabio? Don't undermine any creature made by God because you aren't God

MartinsD12:
Let them tinubu , house boy and amechi stop wasting their time, apc died already, buhari destroyed it.

Just saying good morning

You guys brought this upon yourselves. Tinubu was the first pan-nigeria governor to have almost every Nigerians in his cabinet inclusive of the Igbos. His boys were propped up into Federal Cabinets. Your children turned privileges into rights and denigrated their hosts without mincing words. The greatest abuser of Tinubu are from yonder sir.
I am from Delta State,in the years to come, expect more push back from those guys because you all crossed the redline of reciprocity. Don't betray the trust of your benefactors.

Opportunistic politician with the sole goal of scoring beef with Wike

xangerar:
Nyako is an old judge, a senior judge but this judgment sounded like it was written by a newbie.

No wahala. You can replace the Judge in the next case comrade

greggng:
Some of us don't understand the law . Any law that runs contrary to our constitution is considered null.and void . Recall the judge was able to state clearly that 6months suspension runs contrary to not only the Senate rules but also against out constitution..To that extent compliance might not be achievable ...You cannot give what you don't have. The Senate has made a mistake in suspending her for 6months ...They shoukd swallow there ego and do the right thing by allowing her do her duties . Already she has been fined for speaking about the matter on her Facebook...which court called contempt...

The danger in not calling her back means anybody can now use an arm of government to punish those he or she doesn't agree with . This is new to out constitution....They were sent there to make laws that impact meaningfully to our country ...not to use the instrument of power as political tool to intimidate others

Next time, learn to obey the rules of the game. When she was acting and clouding, you all gear her to oblivion. She must complete the six months suspension, of she fails to comply by apologizing appropriately, she will be responded for another 180. Natasha is like a typical Naija political elites who are lawless. Let the law deal with her first. Anyway, she has gone to Appeal Court.

ivandragon:
The court played it safe.

If the constitution stipulates that a lawmaker must sit for a minimum of 180 days, it then implies that the National Assembly does not have the power to suspend a lawmaker in excess of those days because it would then be compromising the lawmaker's ability to comply with the provisions of the Constitution.

In essence, the suspension of Senator Natasha in excess of 180 days is unconstitutional, and therefore ultra vires on the part of the Senate.

Natasha was not suspended in excess of 180 days either. What is the issue now?

mrvitalis:
This one done learn lesson
Lol... Next governor of IMO state

For me Atiku/Obi 2027

Atiku is not tribal
Atiku has away of discovering talents

Is he ideal no, but he is a slightly better option and easier part way to an obi presidency

If Tinubu wins Obi would never become president again

We need Obi as president so we can pressure him to reform Elections, police, education, electricity and many more

Ikpeagu is even far more competent than Obi. Because religious votes favoured him in 2023, of he trust himself or ATIKU, make them come out naaaa.
Obi is not even among the top ten performing governors from East but pampering made him to feel effigy.

Dpharisee:
This is not news with that APC woman that made Hope Uzodinma Imo State governor from Number 4 there as CJN

When Diri was made a Governor by Odili wife from nowhere, you all were gallivanting up and down. When the Supreme Court wipe out all the Zamfara elected gians by APC, you all muted. Na so God go dey keep all of una busy till Obi becomes President by 2055 in Jesus name

NgeneUkwenu:
Only President Tinubu enjoys support across North and South regions.

Give Atiku the ticket. Tinubu wins South West, South South, North Central and gets significant votes in North East, North West and South East zones.

Give Peter Obi the ticket...Tinubu loses South East, share votes in South South and North Central, wins North West, South West, and North East.

No formula will defeat Tinubu in 2027.

Delululuism is allowed 🙏🙏🙏
