Omimah:
Could you explain how he lost his seat, using that section?

Omimah:
Give me the section.

abdulwastecx:
From which spare part selling market do your come from

The level of intellectual stupidity exhibited in this forum shows why Nigeria will never developed...simply because majority of her citizens are retards.

Do you enforce a law that has not been passed by the judiciary?

Have your ever heard it anywhere in the world that Inspector general of police directly or indirectly removed the speaker of the house of aseembly from his position.

The stupidity of GEJ is seriously been stretched to the limit all in the name of politics

Omimah:
Who says he is no longer a member?

Omimah:
Be reasonable! If PDP feels what the Speaker did was wrong, are they not supposed to take him to court? By withdrawing his security details and making Ihedioha the new Speaker would only result to crisis when the House resumes plenary in December. This may snowball to a national crisis.

BOAR:
That is purely your interpretation.

The Speaker has interpreted it in a different manner, the court should be final arbiter.

The problem is that the Military messed up the country laws, these are issues that should have been tested long time ago in Nigeria and proper interpretation gotten from the Courts.

EbolaParasite:
Are you ok? Can't you read.
This is about position as speaker. If you defect, you do not lose your position. What he is losing in this case is his position as SPEAKER and not as a member of the house. Is it so hard for you to comprehend. How did you pass WAEC?

blym4real:
If you will interpret the constitution correctly sir all the members that have decamped must also vacate their sit.

BOAR:
You are not a competent person to interpret the law.

There are instances a member can switch party and still retains his membership, such as the presence of factions in the party, in which instance the Speaker is hinging his decision to leave PDP.

PDP should prove that PDP in Sokoto is not factionalized.

Toktee:
Is because of people like you that we are where we ar as a nation,do u mean to said mimiko do nt come to power under a political party?

PDP asks court to remove defecting
governors
DECEMBER 12, 2013 BY IHUOMA CHIEDOZIE,
ABUJA
The Peoples Democratic Party has asked an
Abuja Federal High Court to sack the five
governors who defected to the All Progressives
Congress.
The governors are Alhaji Murtala Nyako
(Adamawa), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Aliyu
Wamakko (Sokoto), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano)
and Abdulfatai Ahmed (Kwara).
The Independent National Electoral
Commission was listed as a defendant
alongside the governors in the suit filed on
behalf of the PDP by Alex Izinyon, SAN.
PDP argued that the governors should be
sacked from office on the ground that, because
of their defection, they have forfeited their
offices, which, as a result, have reverted to the
party.
In the event that the five governors are sacked
from office, PDP wants the court to order the
deputy governor or speaker of the state Houses
of Assembly of the affected states, or any
officer next in rank, who is still its member, to
assume the office of governor.
PDP is asking the court for several reliefs,
among which is a declaration that by the
combined provisions of sections 177 (c), 221
and 222 (c) of the 1999 Constitution, the five
governors, who were elected under its platform,
cannot continue to enjoy the mandate given to
it (PDP) by the people/electorate of the
concerned states as they (governors) have
defected to another political party.
The court was equally asked to make a
declaration that in the absence of any division
in the PDP, the five governors have vacated or
forfeited their seats upon their defection to the
APC.
Also, the Abuja FHC was asked to make a
declaration that, by the combined provisions of
sections 87 of the Electoral Act 2011 (as
amended), and sections 177 (c), 221 and 222 (c)
of the 1999 Constitution, the offices of the
defected governors have reverted to the PDP.
In the same vein, the court was asked to make
a declaration that, by the combined provisions
of sections 177 (c), 221 and 222 (c) of the 1999
Constitution, upon the defection of the five
governors, the mandate reverts to the deputy
governor or speaker of the state houses of
assembly of the respective states or any officer
next in rank who is still a member of the PDP.

Nonsense!!! Arrant Nonsense,
This IGP is just taking laws into his hand,,has the house impeached himhas the court declared his seat vacant,,,why can't the same thing be done to Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo who recently decamped to PDP.
One of the reason I don't like this PDP's government.
GEJ was my candidate in 2011,,time to correct my mistake.
Btw,wat does the constitution quoted says,,,the second paragraph gives room to decamp bt only on the ground that there is conflict or faction in d party.
Presently in sokoto there is faction in PDP,,,so why is the IGP taking laws into his own hands?

fujirice:
No be so my G. A friend called me from EBSU with that news.

fujirice:
Go and pay 4k o! They say make all of una go pay 4k.....lol!

Titiluvly:
finally, an Ebsuite shows up.....yea I am....issuance of callup letter is on friday-- students affairs..

I paid d 4k, so I've seen mine...

ayindejimmy:
You are certainly the laziest critic on this issue. There's currently a friction in Sokoto PDP. Tony Anineh recently had a meeting wit PDP stake holders in Sokoto in order to resolve their differences howeva Tambuwal wasnt invited. That was why he attended the meeting the Governor called.
The speaker is certainly a calculative thinker and i can bet u this is premeditated . He has PDP exacly where he wants them.

patrickmuf:
Problem is you didn't quote this section of the constitution when members of the opposition decamped to the PDP... How can you be this insincere?

dead on arrival, one phone call from coca cola headquarters, a few ghana must go bags changing hands and the federal government will withdraw the case,
dem wan use coca cola money complete oga Jona campaign fund

akinsadeez:
This is very interesting but maybe Coca Cola has refused to settle the AG's office. It is rare to see the AG concerning himself about serious issues like this. Mtn and other foreign companies keep ripping us off everyday and despite the tons of complaints the AG's office never even bats an eyelid. This case will never lead anywhere...they will settle it behind the scenes as usual while the consumers are literally hung out to dry. smh

Muscomide:
Obasanjo may be a sage but he does not have sole repository of wisdom. If true, I am very disappointed in his intervention. Regrettably, we seem to have allowed religion to creep into our politics and public life. Ethnicity and religion should not be a yardstick for determining the most qualified appointee but performance and content of character. I am Christian but I really do not give a damn whether public officer is Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Efik, Edo, etc, gay, straight, bisexual, Christian, Muslim, animist, traditional worshipper, etc, etc. OBJ does not always know it all. APC sacrificing their best candidate at the altar of religion is akin to Argentina not playing with Messi because of his faith or Brazil not selecting Neymar because he is Catholic/Christian, or may be even Portugal not fielding a fit Ronaldo.
Only an unpatriotic Nigerian will deny that a Buhari/Fashola candidature will be formidable. Obasanjo is just a hypocrite. Did being Christian prevent him from being corrupt whilst in power? Is it Christian to have sex with one's daughter-in-law as Obasanjo has been alleged to have done? When Abacha/IBB stashed millions of dollars in foreign banks, is that what the Koran teaches?
OBJ should not pull the wool over our eyes, abeg!

morbid:
Imagine what my country is exporting...leather and indomie. So these are what we are using to conquer the African markets,when South Africa is busy exporting MTN, DSTV,Shoprite?? SMDH for these pathetic liars. When Nigeria starts exporting heavy duty goods like cars,wake me up. I had a hectic night;I'm going back to sleep.
