And with all your phd you will vote for an ab0ki biggot general

arewafederation:
No vex, I was simply stating a fact.

Ab0kis like you take el rufai's nonsense as fact.

mikolo80:
cos he has monopoly of violence(army,police,sss)might is right,sad but true

Name one civil advocate or political foe of Jonathan that has been jailed?

Can you cite any assassination linked to this administration? Compare this administration to that of a Tinubu controlled southwest. Can you count the number of politically motivated murders that has happened in the last 16 years of tinubu's vice grip in the sw on his political rivals?

You people are all foolish.

Obasanjo's rantings on snipers is all you have without any recourse to evidence that it was true.

This government has suffered so much lies against it without retorting to extra judicial or legal actions.

But yet you claim this is the most bloody administration.

Compare this administration to the dark years of obasonjo where hardly a month goes without a prominent assassination. Compare this government with the draconian regime of Buhari where even factual journalism can lead you to jail.

Buruji Kashumu is a saint He is not wanted for drugs in the US
My brother/sister can you cite five allegations of corrupt ions and lawlessness levelled against GEJ that was convincinly cleared with documented and open facts? They only resort to blame games when they are accused of faukts .......open your mind dear

Is kassimou the head of PDP?

I bet you are a Muslim. This is the logic you guys use. Rather than defend your rubbish you will cite others fault.

frankyychiji:
In your own assessment, pls kindly let us know how much political capital Rookie Tambuwal has in the scheme of things?

They're soo dumb.

Tambuwal that was elected from a constituency region in sokoto is now more powerful than GEJ who contested and won the presidency.

Nah tinubu deceive am

Tinubu convinced him to switch so as to hurt the current administration but what sets this guy asa confirm magga and tinubu as a master manipulator is how he was able to convince him to drop from number 4 to contest an uncertain governor position.

Kai ab0ki no get sense.

arewafederation:
Na wah ooooh for some people. Plenty plenty illiterates in this country.

Ab0ki it is too early to spew insults.

onatisi:
many don't understand the way gej is controlling pdp. Unlike obj who due to his military background and rank believes in open and direct confrontation ,gej always allows his political enemies to make costly mistakes before he pounces on them and instead of intimidating enemies withing pdp ,he pushes them out giving them the impression that they are important and that they can do without pdp,once they are out he shuts the doors on them.this was exactly the same way he pushed out those 5 state governors.

Machevielian at the core.

A slow acting poison best suited to be administered to men of quick temper.

GEJ keeps making them feel stup1d at the end even though they will claim he is dumb.

Nigeria politics has finally arrived with GEJ. Look how Amaechi is appearing madder by the day. GEJ simply ignored the fool and now his madness level is clear for all to see.


Tinubu remains a distant second in Nigeria politics.

He created a brand for all these desperadoes to cling on and on the last lap only him will smile to the bank.

engrfcuksmtin:
Mr Man am a spectator watching the drama and the views expressed by me is from what I observed. Take it or leave it GEJ is lawless, crude and corrupt. He does not give a damn about you, me or an average Nigerian on the street.

You are observing the match via radio commentary by liar Mohammed.

Be objective, do your own research and you will see that the messiahs in your satanic APC are the devils on the prowl who are not interested in bettering Nigeria but only interested in regime Chang for the sake of continuing their avarices and looting.


How can you expect any sane being to be on the same side with that drug lord and d0pe addict cum master forger, Tinubu?

Or is it that your mythical saint Buhari whose regime was the most brutal Nigerians hade ever witnessed?

As far as I am concerned, Jonathan is not for this generation. He belongs to another more enlightened generation some where in the future. Not this generation that is usd to fiat and military dictatorship that were trained by the cane to respect authority.

All the allegations Jonathan's detractors have levelled against his administration have fell flat on them.

Continue to buy into the lies and cheap rhetoric. It makes you look more stupid to accept cheap propaganda and Lies spewed by the APC.

engrfcuksmtin:
It is now very clear that GEJ want to play do or die politics in 2015. This guy is ready to burn this country to be returned as President. VERY SOON HE WIL UNLEASH HIS TRAINED ASSASSIN AND SNIPERS on people that will attempt to resist him. Most of the people supporting him blindly will regret doing so. Nigeria may burn in 2015.

This is politics and as APC has decided to play dirty on all angles then GEJ will do well to counter stones with fire.


You asked for it now you are crying.


Useless double standard APC dunce

ProfessorPeter:
Chei! See how Tambuwal smoke ganjaweed and lost his speakership.
Political scientists if you want to do research on how not to defect from one political party to another bikonu study Tambuwal.
I hope he will be barred from entry into national assembly premises forever

The guy nah confirm magga.


He lost his position as number 4 citizen where he would have been more politically relevant in his over ambitious bid to become president only for tinubu to offer his governorship ticket that is not certain.

The guy nah real ab0ki dunce.

But I don't blame him. He took his position for granted because he arrived there on fluke and ab0ki waiver card.

Dunce.

Yomieluv:
They can rant all they want,but it must be within the constitution,and not some conjured imagination of some perceived PDP chieftains.

His defection has dealt a big blow on PDP,no wonder PDP keeps hyper-ventilating like a possessed witch.

Don't be a silly cun.t

If Tambuwal does not do the honorable thing and vacate the house, then the PDP will enforce section 68(g).

This is a man who has been a mole and clog in the same political party that ensured his ticket to the house.

And if you think PDP are bound to lose more on the legal precedence this case will set then look at Rivers, Kano, Imo, Edo and Sokoto that all went to APC as a result of defection.

This is why liar mohammed is screaming like a tart out in the yard.

The APC will do well to avoid a legal tsunami by asking this traitor to vacate his seat and concentrate on his gubernatorial ambitions.

Raiders:
I agree with you but what Im trying to say that he will survive a vote of confidence from the house of rep when they sit next month. PDP don't have influence on its house members like you think because from day 1 they have continue to vote against some of the party policy.

The Rep Members are Touts. Remember Mr. Integrity and the dollar stuffing?

They feel they have not been compensated enough by Aso Rock.

PDP will let them know to do the needful or that they will be willing to sacrifice them alongside Tambuwal by enacting section 68 (g) and conducting bye-elections for their sits.

They will do what they are told to do this time around.

Raiders:
what you fail to realise is that most of the pdp house members are northerner and are also in support of the speaker. I think the speaker would survive a vote of confidence in the house because all APC members would vote for him and he will still have support from some northern pdp house members. You should remember when he got voted into office that he was not pdp choice for speaker. He won because APC and some northern PDP members like Farouk supported him.

They supported his candidature because they wanted a male muslim.

As for the SW ACN members, they were instructed to vote Tambuwal in order to create a rift within the PDP and also for Asiwaju to maintain his political dominance in the SW

and Sanusi defects to PDP

It will be the greatest stup1dity for Nigerians to offer this man the leadership of our democratic institution after sacking an elected civilian administration with no timetable to return to democracy.

idumuose:
Tambuwal does even know you are complaining.He may probably be eating tuwo masara and fried meat

while you are here complaining on his behalf.

very true

I see the APC Touts are avoiding this thread like a plague.

akinsadeez:
Is that also not a defection?

100% defection.

[color=#000099][/color]

Dear Sir
1. only a court of competent jurisdiction can prove whether or not the PDP is factionalised.
2. the law on the matter is quite clear, unless a 2/3rd Majority vote him out of the speakership (which PDP doesnt have because the APC is almost equal to them in Number) he can retain his seat.

Dazzal

Tambuwal defected to the APC.

The APC is not a faction of the PDP.

The law states that only when one belongs to a separate faction. This is what the nPDP guys used to stall the application of section 68(g).

akinsadeez:
It will affect PDP too. some APC house members also defected to PDP. That was why PDP was able to retain a majority in the house of reps after temporarily losing their majority when 37 PDP members defected to APC

It's a real cluster phuck for both the APC and PDP.

Tambuwal did not act on the defections and the PDP did not take it up. Why?

On the part of Tambuwal, he wanted to rubbish the law in order to benefit from it's in-application.

PDP played it safe and negotiated for the defected members to return.

At the end of the day, the PDP will sacrifice those seats rather than to have an APC led house.

And since Tambuwal has other ambitions outside the National Assembly, you can bet that he will be the first to be sacrificed and his political career is already in the dustbin as the PDP will ensure he doesn't win the gubernatorial sit.

dunkem21:
We are saying the same thing. Section 68 is the elder brother of section 50.

OK. I confused the "greater than" sign to that of the "less than" sign.

dunkem21:
Forgetting that section 68 > 50.

Section 68(G) does not require a vote. It is automatic in it's application.

Read it again

akinsadeez:
You don't seem to understand me. The issue is not whether he has defected or not....the whole world knows he has defected. What I am saying is that he might be able to use the excuse that PDP in sokoto state is divided into two factions and that he was thus legally able to defect as stated in the constitution. So I don't understand how PDP presenting evidence that he has defected will defeat that.

The constitution is clear.

It states the pre-condition for change of party affiliation.

A factional party i.e. a party with parallel leadership contest but claiming the same party as in the case of the nPDP. The nPDP is not a seperate party but a faction of the PDP as the nPDP did not apply to INEC for registration.

The other condition is where a party merges with others to form a new party just as the way the ACN merged with CPC to form the APC.

Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored...

hardywaltz:
All evidence are presented in court not on the internet.
PDP should head to court to show that the second paragraph of the Section 68 (g) is not applicable.

On the contrary, PDP will want to enforce section 68(g). They have given Tambuwal a period of grace like that which was extended to Sanusi, Salami and Nyako to resign honorably.

akinsadeez:
Furthermore the section allows an exception where the defctor's party is in crisis. Tambuwal can also claim that his party in Sokoto has been split into two. I.e the Shagari and Bafarawa camps there by necessitating his defection. Whether that will fly is another matter entirely

Tambuwal decleared for APC just yesterday. Claiming a factional member won't fly since the PDP will present evidence that Tambuwal has defected.

His defection may set the first legal precedence.

menabadoo:
i see, then he must be stvpid for not knowing the constitution as a speaker.

he should have gone through the constitution before deciding to defect.

The man is depending on his trickery and stalling. If he thinks he can take the House for a ride then he is really daft.

The most silly aspect of this story is that Tambuwal has now shelved his Presidential aspiration for that of Governor of Sokoto.

This shows how naive he is to step down from Number 4 to be a mere Governor.

I guess it is because he was actually handed the office of speaker on a platter of gold.

menabadoo:
i see no reason why he should be impeached.
party defection shouldn't be a prerequisite for his impeachment.

The speaker is not subject to impeachment.

The process leading to assuming officers can not be easier than that leading to removal.

Tambuwal has shot himself in the foot.

The Nigerian Police is the first legal authority to enforce section 68(g).

Other institutions such as the presidency, Judiciary will automatically adopt section 68(g). What remains is the election of a suitable replacement.

dunkem21:
Na wa o for the bolded.

hmmm.

Meanwhile, the APC urchins created a useless thread and conveniently omitted section 68(g)

Clerverly:
I read an article somewhere, where Oliseh Metuh of PDP, called for the resignation of Hon. Tambuwal for ditching a party on whose majority he rose to the office of the speaker house of Representative.

In his exact words: “After a thorough consideration of the matter, the NWC came to a conclusion that the Hon. Speaker, as a responsible elected officer, knows full well what is needful and honourable of him since his new party is in the minority [in the House]” he said.

I have also read some comments offline and online, when some ignorant/paid commentators have started insinuating that Hon Tambuwal May lose his office for simply not fulfilling the requirements of the law as regards the position of speaker.

It is very unfortunate that some Nigerians including public office holders are too lazy, to read the elementary sections of our Constitution, some of which are self explanatory.

Now, let us examine what Chapter V, Part 1 (Composition Of National Assembly) sections 47 -50 of the Constitution Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria holds:


There shall be a National Assembly for the Federation which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.

48. The Senate shall consist of three Senators from each State and one from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

49. Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the House of Representatives shall consist of three hundred and sixty members representing constituencies of nearly equal population as far as possible, provided that no constituency shall fall within more than one State.

50. (1) There shall be:-

(a) a President and a Deputy President of the Senate, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves; and

(b) a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves.

(2) The President or Deputy President of the Senate or the Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives shall vacate his office -

(a) if he ceases to be a member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, otherwise than by reason of a dissolution of the Senate or the House of Representatives; or

(b) when the House of which he was a member first sits after any dissolution of that House; or

(c) if he is removed from office by a resolution of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of the members of that House.

So where did PDP find the supposedly "loophole" or authority in law, in asking Hon. Tambuwal to resign? The only option left for them, is to rally their members and see if they can muster the required number when plenary resumes in decemeber, in order to satisfy Section 50, subsection 2 C as highlighted above.

Anything else is calling for anarchy!

taiwoflb:
It's obvious in the constitution naw

Impeachment is too strenuous a process for the office of the Speaker who emerged merely on majority votes within the House alone.

The majority leader can raise a motion for the conduction of fresh elections and ask for the speaker to step down.

A simple majority and not the impeachable number of 2/3rd is required.

This is what is being banded by the APC touts here that in order for the Speaker to be removed a 2/3 majority needs to be sought by the PDP to effect his removal.

Firstly, we first have to understand what the term impeachment means and which officers the process is applicable to.

The 1999 Constitution has 6 entries with the word impeachment and all these are only applicable to executive officers whose office enjoys immunity from legal prosecution.

These offices are the President, the Vice President, Governors and their deputies.

Other officers that maybe subject to impeachment are Supreme Court Justices, the AGF, President of the Appeal Court and other legal officers.

Tambuwal as Speaker can only be removed with regards to section 68 of the 1999 constitution.

All these nonsense about two-third majority does not apply.

The only thing left for Tambuwal is trickery and stalling to which he is good at. He can mandate the House to go on recess for the time being but that can not be forever.

You can bet your last dime that the PDP will go to court to enforce section 68(G) as highlighted below.
