■ Only a foolish politician will make such a move. How on earth is that even possible?? The lawyer that filled the case is supposed to be punished.

Your courts are attempting to assert an illegality here and you have not learned that when these things happen, na all of una dey suffer am? Section 109 of the constitution is clear as regards this particular issue and the lawyer is well in the right to have filed the case against those senators. By defecting, they essentially invalidated the mandate given them by the electorate and should not be allowed to continue in office no matter when the issue was realized.

Let me guess! You don't in fact live in Nigeria so you think you are removed from all of these issues created by a corrupt judiciary?

Make una go vote
Make una come outside come vote.
Ma wertin polithiefcians dey take deceive people be dis.
Make una troops out go vote.

The suffering impacts everyone when the wrong person is elected. The country as it stands is a very good reference to all those who would think it makes sense to sit out the election. Na all of una go suffer am!

■ The court judgment is that the case is "statute barred" not whether the lawmakers are gone or not.
It was determined to have been filed outside the allowed period and that there are already subsisting litigations on same case. The judgement did not touch on the status of the 26 as valid RSHA members or not so your question too is misplaced. Fubara is illiterate but a serving governor. You are smart...but who are you?

The Constitution does not state that there is such an allowed period though. The court is in error.

Ebonyi N1m empowerment beneficiaries Being Forced To Pay N5000 By Officials (Screenshot Below) 👇👇👇👇
By Wisdom Nwedene, Abakaliki
Some beneficiaries of the state government N1M empowerment are being forced to part with Mom each as kickback to some Ministry officials.
It is not clear at the moment where the money is going to or those behind the N5000 kickback which sources say is illegal.
The operators of the illegal fee deviced a smart way of collecting it using people from each group of beneficiaries to collect and secretly remit to them making it difficult know those involved.
Some of the collectors opened a WhatsApp group where they told members that the money is a compulsory service charge or processing fee to the account unit of the Ministry of Empowerment and the office of the Secretary to the State Government that worked on the disbursement.
While many are willingly paying some have questioned the legality of the payment arguing that the state government must have mapped out money for such contingencies. Meanwhile, those championing the illegal fee stand to make about N8m if out calculations are correct.

I am in shock that there are those who paid without questioning the legality of such a fee.

hope uzodinjo of imo state has mastered the act of rigging and that's why he was contacted to deliver,

How did he master this art of rigging? What is it?

By the way, if the people of Imo really didn't like Hope Uzodinma as their governor, why didn't they simply demand his impeachment? There has not been a call for that in all of this time. Complaining and doing nothing else is an exercise in the meaningless.

Donake:
What is an affidavit in law? Bringing to fore that something is done legally before the courts.

I am afraid I don't follow!

Racoon:
However, they have since remain a gang of otilo unfortunate fellas. Nyesome Wike deceived and misled them badly.

Did the 27 Senators in fact illegally defect to APC? Is there evidence to back the suit? I am trying to understand why the court is suggesting that because the suit was filed 8 months later — the Constitution sets no such time constraint — that it should be disregarded.

Cromagnon:
■ Have you used every means at your disposal? not really. If it was. We would be protesting effectively

I don't follow!

BREAKING: Two APC governors accused of moving pre-signed INEC result sheets to Edo state ahead of guber poll

Aren't IREV machines to be used for the exercise? What use are the resigned sheets if it all instead depends on how many actual votes were recorded at each polling unit?

Edo people, make una shine una eyes o! Hold your Polling unit offers and Collation offers at each unit responsible. Post their names and faces on social media from each unit so that if things go wrong, they can be identified, investigated, and prosecuted.

Moderators, I was under the impression that all tribalism-laced threads such as this here should be moved to the Ethnic, Racial, Or Sectarian Politics section. Is this notion wrong?

■ CNN Report: Mass casualties reported today after goats exploded during s3xual session with the members of Hezbollah. IDF is believed to have planted bombs in the rectums of the goats to target Hezbollah members who usually have s3x with the animals to relieve themselves.

Is this some sort of joke or parody of what took place earlier in the week? e no funny at all.

Something does not seem right at all with what INEC has in place at this time. https://inecnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/REGULATIONS-AND-GUIDELINES-FOR-THE-RECALL-OF-A-MEMBER-OF-THE-NATIONAL-ASSEMBLY-HOUSE-OF-ASSEMBLY-OF-A-STATE-OR-AREA-COUNCIL-OF-THE-FEDERAL-CAPITAL-TERRITORY-5.pdf

SmartPolician:
Recall is an electoral act that needs to be fully explored! The Supreme Court should stop deciding who won elections! INEC should use technology to gain and build voter trust and confidence.

Regardless of the decision made by the Supreme Court, the people have always had the same Constitutionally granted power to recall any and every elected official. So, if the people, for example, do not like the candidate chosen by the Supreme Court, the people have the power to remove said elected official from office by way of a recall or call for impeachment. That power has been enshrined in the constitution since 1999 and the Supreme court which also gets its power from the same Constitution can or should change that.

CodeTemplarr:
Lol. 75% of them never won their elections.

The power to recall them kicks in from the moment election results are declared. So why did you not recall those whom you claim never won the election? Nigerians always had that power but refused to use it. Even the power the courts have cannot topple that power bestowed on the Nigerian people by the Constitution. So, it is not their fault for remaining in offer after rigging themselves in but the people's for allowing them to remain. The mandate belongs to the people and the people can take back their mandate from any candidate whenever they wish to.

toprealman:
As expected , he said nothing. Once you hear provision , court and constitution, just forget it.

This here is a clear case of bad citizenry. You refuse to use the powers bestowed on you by the very Supreme Law; you would rather cower in fear and whine all day to no end.

EmmyDJourno:
If you are a serious organization would we need to recall them just months after an election
Ozuor squad wey Mahmoud Yakub assemble🤮

The answer to your question is yes. The electorates are allowed to change their minds at any time. That is why the ability is recall them is embedded in the Constitution —section 69.

RaptorX:
■ The European devils that your local devils so called leaders work for have told them to reduce your population by any means necessary, and hunger, hardship, terrorism and banditry are some of the tools they are using. So it's all deliberate and that talk of things getting better tomorrow is all bs talk for the foolish people that can't read the signs of the time.

Una no dey shame when una dey spew these brain-damage induced jargons?

■ Rice is their national food in China already.

He does not need the money is the main here.

Nigeria recognizes Nigerians in the Diaspora. Does that equally mean that any Nigerian anywhere in the world can simply get a NIN, sign up for a voter's card, and join in on the process of recalling these useless senators and representatives both at state and national levels by way of a petition on the INEC website?

malali:
Some lawmakers are so dormant....Tinubu is running up and down, like he can do it alone. If you dont start recalling the senators and the house of representatives, Tinubu will always be the victim. But if the constituents start seeing their representatives and senators as partially responsible, they will seat up and placate the constituents.

Victim bought himself a yacht and a plane and somehow he is a victim? Are you folks for real? Why do you love to remain this cowered by these morons?

All these tribalism-laced threads should be moved to the appropriate section abeg! We need to be done with that bullsheet at this point.

are the kind of wake-up calls Nigeria needs .

I hope he cashes out big time so that he can afford to buy rice .

The guy likely lives in China.

GanagiBitrus:
Report them to law enforcement agents.

That should be the right cause of action but when the offenders are themselves police officers, more is needed. Bringing them on social media — where people can anonymously drag them for their wickedness. Social media can help move things in the right direction when they are reported. This I have noticed works better.

chatinent:
■ I politely told one today that it was illegal for him to be on the road and not in their office inspecting vehicles and his defending question was "are you a lawyer?"
Am I only supposed to be a lawyer to know the law? Or didn't the law say ignorantia juris non excusat to law breakers?
■ Law enforcement agents keep committing misconducts by breaking the law in Nigeria all in the verge to steal bribes.

You should have responded by saying you are even better as you are a citizen and covered by your Constitutional right which is the Supreme Law of the land.

2. Please, if you happen to capture his face or even his name — any personal information about him including his home address, his parent's home, etc. would not be a bad idea — and post it online so Nigerians can get him and others like him humiliated for disregarding the law you quoted. Social media can be a platform where these people can be humiliated and made to feel a portion of what they dole out to the Nigerian people regularly.

These cruel monsters who contribute to making Nigerians miserable are not ghosts and they live among the people. I think it is time they are exposed and even humiliated by the people they stalk. Hopefully caused to lose that job that makes them think of themselves as gods over the people they are meant to serve.

Zonefree:
Is it possible for INEC to help us recall Ezenwa Onyewuchi? He's the senator representing Owerri zone, Imo state. Man is useless to Owerri people as the P in Psychology.

No man is greater than the people who supposedly elected him!

Shawarmagirl:
■ Any law maker just seating down in the red and green chambers contributing nothing to national development, sponsoring any meaningful bills and canvassing for his people should be recalled back ASAP. Nigerians did not elect you to go and seat down there as numbers listening to bills sponsored by others. At the end of the month you collect salary and constituency project without doing nothing.

All Nigerians should have done this a long time ago. Even the call for the immediate impeachment of all those who rigged their way into office should have been carried out right after the elections, but Nigerians did nothing and this we see today happened to them yet again. All of this could have been avoided!

Finally, some commonsense! This is an exercise that should begin even before the protest, one that even those who do not show up to protest can engage in to show they disapprove of the situation in the country even if in a cowardly way.

ikpumbe:
■ We need to make mockery of you people that voted tinubu out of religious sentiments. Of course all of us are into the mess. But it still makes sense that we warned you guys. Now see Una life

Your warnings did not stop them now all of you are equally paying for it all in the end. So of what tangible value was this warning of yours that you continue to glorify? It isn't una life but everyone's life that the limpness of your so-called warning has severely impacted. African man, save yourself from your kind of foolishness abeg!
