.
.
Due process is all we want! And of course wike would be the governor come may 29 because no matter what the situation appears to be. .amaechi's has to leave office on that date. .
.
.
Bt sha, am awed by some pdp morons who play politics with a goat brain. .finkin only for today!
.
.
Instead of him(Wike) making plans on how to remain in his seat for atleast the first 4yrs, he his busy making empty noises over his swearing-in. . .of course, he has to be sworn in since the office will be empty so why the fuss?
.
.
I hope he last a month with his lack of focus!!!

AMAECHI, THE PENNY WISE POUND FOOLISH MAN HAS SHOOT HIMSELF IN THE LEG! THE JUSTICE YOU DENIED YOUR PEOPLE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS BY CREEPLING JUDICIAL ACTIVITIES IN RIVER STATE, IS THE SAME JUSTICE YOU WHEN SEEKING FOR IN ANOTHER STATE, BUT FORGETTING THAT HE WHO COMES TO JUSTICE COMES WITH CLEAN MIND. AMAECHI, YOU CAN'T DEMANDS FOR WHAT CANNOT GIVE.

Demdem:
Nature abhor vacuum. Amaechis tenure ends this Friday despite being the best Governor this state have ever had and the state must have another governor. Let Wike be sworn in and we will see if he will be able to survive the case against him in the election tribunal.

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday refused an ex parte application to stop the Chief Judge of Bayelsa State, Justice Kate Abiru, from swearing in the Rivers State Governor-elect, Chief Nyesom Wike, on May 29, 2015.

Justice Ibrahim Buba, while turning down the application, said granting such would amount to “adding insult upon the injury” of the people of Rivers State, who currently “have no judiciary.”

The judge held that though the applicants had a meritorious cause of action because the issues bordered on the sanctity of the constitution, granting their ex parte application may occasion a state of anarchy in Rivers State.

“I am of the firm view that no court should make the order ex parte to further compound the problems in Rivers State,” Buba held.

The applicants are three Lagos-based legal practitioners: Monday Ubani, John Nwokwu and Gabriel Okoro.

Joined as respondents in the suit marked FHC/L/CS/769/2015 are the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke (SAN), Bayelsa CJ, Justice Abiru and Wike.

The plaintiffs are contending that Justice Abiru cannot swear Wike in because the constitution only allowed the chief judge of the state or the President of the Customary Court of Appeal of Rivers State to do so.

The Attorney General of the Federation, Adoke, had, in a press statement on May 19, requested Abiru to swear in Wike on May 29, because Rivers State currently has no substantive chief judge.

Adoke had reportedly said it was to avert a likely constitutional crisis in Rivers State.

He said the directive was in line with the constitution and urged the citizens to take note and respect it.

But Nwokwu, who deposed to a 25-paragraph affidavit in support of the ex parte application, claimed that Adoke’s directive “is already causing public confusion and uncertainty in the country.”

The applicants therefore sought an order “restraining the 2nd defendant from administering the oath of office on the 3rd respondent on the basis of the directive of the 1st respondent and to stay all actions pending the determination of the substantive suit.”

In the alternative, they wanted the court to make an order “restraining the defendants whether by themselves, agents, servants and privies from taking any further steps in connection with the matter pending determination.”

They had claimed that it would be in the interest of justice to grant the ex parte application.

Buba, however, refused it, saying “we cannot all be shallow or be shallow-minded. There shall be no room for anarchy.”

He adjourned till June 29 to hear the motion on notice.

This man is the worst ever. They do not even bother to hide the corruption. It is "in your face" corruption.

Say No to Cluelessness... Buhari where are you. We are waiting

Demdem:
yes, i can see "na die" building.
did u see this also? AGain i state that the fool is a fraud.

Demdem:
Now i see........Good one. So he spent 8 solid years to build that singular hotel in Akwa Ibom with all the allocations accruing to him?
He remains a fraud.

Demdem:
i see nothing. Na building go help revive someone with kidney failure?
abegii, show case the equipment inside there or is it an empty building?

juicee1:
your mentioning fashola's name shows you are being dubious with your assertion. If fashola isn't a performer, you won't have bothered about him.

If Aresa should show you the pictures of the several hospitals fashola littered lagos with, hospitals that are far better and fully equiped than this, you will run away.

I believe you must be from SE. You guys are just using akpabio to console yourselves. I wonder why you can't boast of your own governors.

Tell yourself the truth, akpabio is still a learner where fashola the artificial island builder is.

doctokwus:
Ah ah.Akpabio fits Nigerians wella.
Build one stadium in 8yrs and commission a not fully completed hospital by showcasing some sophisticated equipment while embezzling billions and voila, u are d best governor in d world!
While Fayose is on one side scamming d people with rice and live chicken,Akpabio is on d other side scamming them with 'state of d art' buildings and in d middle there is Elechi commissioning uncompleted 'modern markets'.Ah Nigerians, it shall b well.

Toktee:
to me,this is crap,with N13bn and nddc founds,i said this is rubbish,kano state governor and lagos state governor with lesser allocation did better than that.

elbinmanny:
No more medical tourism for Buhari , Tinubu and their likes at least we can now take on major transplants and surgery in naija

Oildichotomy:
This Daura guy better run back to Nigeria oo

Hope something is not fishy about his stay , it is actually long overdue!

I don't want a repeat of ....

And by the way, Ambode and Tinubu are now welcoming Presidents on behalf of Buhari

Something is definitely wrong somewhere

bettercreature:
Atleast he won't be our senator

PassingShot:
Yes, I was primarily because of the way GEJ handled it. Nowhere in the world would that removal, in the manner he did it, have been allowed to stand unchallenged.

Plus the fact that I knew it was a scam.

lolababe331e:
It's not hypocrisy, many of us understood the reason for it then but didn't trust GEJ and knew he and his cronies would steal any money saved from paying subsidy. Buhari on the other hand I trust, that's the difference

PassingShot:
The subsidy is surely a big fraud by top government officials and the oil cabals to steal us blind.


This is one of my problems with NOI. She failed big time in this area.


There was never anything as subsidy. If there was, we would have been buying fuel for below N50 per litter. What exists is an imaginary subsidy where our money is being shared among the cabals. We shall hear more revelations VERY SOON!

modath:
There is a saying that goes "start as you mean to proceed" .. Baba has succesfully nipped in the bud the govs undue (& most often than not detrimental) influence on both present and future decision making processes.

Not one of the govs can come screaming "I delivered my state to you" .. GMB has a cult following in the North and what he got in the SW and NC were ALL From the people.


These govs could find money to pay their political "liabilities" but couldn't even do a half month arrangee with "poor" workers.

They should be asked what they did with the money, we agree allocation has dipped but this is beyond baaaaaddd!!!

Aregbe is the greatest disappointment of them all, just living on his past glory!

egift:
Start abeg. I know some governors then did and ended up impeached or relevant in the scheme of things politically.

danot1030:
I know of one man that has withstood Obasanjo and still waxing stronger, the man is Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the former governor of Lagos state. Obasanjo did all he could to frustrate the government of Tinubu but failed, he tried to hijack Lagos state for PDP through federal might in a manipulated electoral process but he failed, he manipulated the election of some south west state in favour PDP but through Tinubu dogged support CAN recover the mandates back. So I give it to Tinubu..

philips70:
If we must progress this has got to stop in one way or the other. Whether in APC or PDP states. Can you imagine how Nigeria's economy would have been like if we can generate half of the 40,000MW of electricity SA generates? The monies spent on power since 1999 will give any serious country that amount of power but here we are talking about 1.3GW of electricity. It's shameful hearing that word Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa when it's been powered by generating sets.

gatiano:
I did not say that He can't build it, If he can, then it would be private (his company), so are all the hotels, they are privately held company or businesses. You can go to the hotels then and stay for free, or pick something from the mall for free.
If I open or launch a business, I use an influential personality to launch or open it, I can even make believe that an influential person (politicians, actors comedians etc) owns it. It drives up sales. People naturally love to step in places bigger people have stepped into(what a foo lish world).

OREMUSSANCTUS:
First time we dhe agree on same tin
All still boils down to d fact dat apc used propaganda to poison d hart of nigerians
Only time will tell, if d "change" is real
