Abeg rest. Jonathan is from the SS nobody in SS is talking of betrayal... It's just an excuse for you against SW but you always meet God ahead as you always will.

Because one of the loudest reasons the Southwest voted against GEJ, as influenced by Tinubu, was because GEJ was favouring Igbos.

It’s the reason you lots amplified GEJ’s weaknesses and went into a dangerous alliance just to take him out.

But guess what, for everything you accused GEJ of doing, Buhari has tripled but you people have lost your voice.

That’s hypocritical…

And it’s double standard.

alanto:
You are not talking to a kid. Your rejection of Buhari was because of him being a muslim. You people said he invented boko haram and he was going to islamize Nigeria. You also claimed that APC was a fulani devilish party that wants to islamize Nigeria.
Your people gave no reason other than the islamization agenda.

So Yaradua was a Catholic priest when we voted for him?

obinoral1179:
firstly Ameachi hasn't even declare secondly he still has to resign in order to contest at primary due to the electoral act. Ameachi cannot defeat Tinubu in primary elections... I think Tinubu will do well than ameachi in a presidential election..

If things are decided and alliances favour Amaechi, he resign by 7am, declare for the presidency by 9am and win the APC ticket by 4pm.

Take the national convention for example…

Tanko Almakura and Sani Musa were the supposed two frontline candidates with loud gongs traveling with them everywhere.

But the moment Buhari declared his preference for Abdullahi Adamu, everyone started aligning to deliver him.

Meanwhile, I say again, that APC stands a far better chance with Amaechi than with Tinubu.

An Amaechi candidacy would be southern candidacy and would unite the south behind him.

But a Tinubu candidacy would be Southwest candidacy.

Amaechi will win the entire south if he is APC candidate.

But Tinubu will only win about 70 percent of Southwest votes while hoping the north votes for him.

These are not conjectures. They are bare facts as they are.

BlazinGlory40:
The only thing is amaechi isn’t a core easterner. I personally would have preferred a core easterner

So would I prefer a core easterner…

But the north won’t vote for a core Igbo man.

The fear of Igbo ‘domination’ is real

Even the elements of nature are now against APC and its members.

BlazinGlory40:
An igbo candidate to a great extent would do well in south east than amaechi would in south south. I admire amaechi and was one of the few who supported him during that his saga with GEJ led fg. But truth is even Rivers state, he is not certain cos wike will frustrate him not to talk of a PDP controlled south south

Forget Wike.

If Amaechi gets APC ticket, he’s clearing Southeast and Southsouth; even Rivers.

Then with the votes of north central and the core north who are likely to support him, Amaechi would coast to victory.

APC stands a better chance with Amaechi as it’s candidate versus PDP and Atiku…

Than they would with Tinubu as its candidate.

This is like the one thousandth time APC is releasing zoning formula and it’s the same all the time.

It’s ok abeg.

As long as the whole twist and turns doesn’t favour Tinubu, sane Nigerians are fine.

Look at foolish NDLEA releasing pictures of their men to the public.

This is the height of stupidity and lack of tact.

Ndi ala!

SuperMarioEgbe:
Nigeria is a unique nation.
There are not many nations in the world where multiple ethnic groups make up one nation.
This multi-ethnicity is our strength.

Lagos, Edo, Ondo and Ogun brings their Bitumen,
Enugu bring its coal,
Akwa Ibom, Abia, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Imo cause us to shine with its Oil and Gas,
We become better as Kano provides Lead and Zinc,
Our great nation soars as we are Salted by Cross River and Ebonyi.

I could go on and on and on but that which I desire that we see is that this nation indeed can be united in brotherhood for greatness.

The mood of our nation pangs with dire calls for a leader that can truly unite this country.
Nigeria will indeed be great again.
#Rochasweknow #Rochasweknow #Rochasweknow

Rochas is a mad man.

His stewardship in Imo state abysmal and therefore nothing serious would ever be handed to him.

Him and OUK are foolish efulefus that should go and take several sits.

He shouldn’t have apologized na.

Let him be designated an “enemy of the bar” and he will continue to lose his cases in court till he will think he’s cursed.

He was making unguarded statements like an unschooled idiot.

How I wish Appeal Court would agree with the lower court so that our politicians can learn small lesson.

That Southsouth got the least allocation of offices in the party leadership invariably means “something huge” is coming its way in the zoning of political offices.

Amaechi presidency is almost a done deal.

Amaechi/Zulum2023

Amaechi/Elrufai2023 can still go.

Anything that would make Tinubu urinate more in his Agbada is fine by me.

alanto:
How does Tinubu peeing on himself become your problem? Far as am concerned, he has not made any move that can call for check on his mental state.
That guy is younger both in age and look than the US president also he's healthier than the United State president. The US you love to worship did they not see younger people to vote for when they voted massively for Trump and Hilary then Trump and Biden? Those are well aged people. Is France or any country with the youngest president doing better in any ramification than the United States of America?
Morning to night every blessed day you sow seeds of hate, you bring hate on people affiliated to you. Now because of your own selfish interest your people may not benefit from the next president of Nigeria like you have been crying you didn't benefit from the present. This was how you started with Buhari. He's ending his eight years term you couldn't bring him down but he knows you hate him even before he became the president. After making lagos a good place for anybody to come and do business. You are starting to show Tinubu hate and tarnishing his person just like you did with Buhari, you claimed that Buhari was dead, talked about his ears, you said he doesn't have certificate, you have not stop till today to tarnish and show hate towards Buhari and in extension the north even though you want to vote Atiku, one will wonder the motive behind choosing an Atiku over a fellow southerner if not that you just want to spite the West?

I know in your heart you love the West even if you can't show it. This is the zone that makes it easy for you to do business and send some money home, now tell me what kind of guest spite his host? That's an ungrateful guest my dear.

You are free to draw whatever conjectures you want. You own your brain…

But don’t ever equate our aversion for Buhari to hatred for the north.

Nor would you equate our aversion for Tinubu to hatred for the West.

These two line of thought, if hold them, would be erroneous and fallacious.

When we rejected Buhari in 2015 and 2019, we gave logically verifiable reason to why we were doing that. Are we not justified today? Has Buhari shown competence in anything since he was elected?

Remember the same Buhari ran twice with Igbo running mates and we still refused to vote for him. Just so you understand that our not voting for him in 2015 was not because he was running with a Yoruba man, no, but because we abhor incompetence down here.

Same with Tinubu…

In 2015, Tinubu worked against a Southern President for a northerner because of his greed and selfish ambition.

In 2023, we shall surely return the favour. Whether we will succeed or not, let’s leave that to time.

So much for someone they claimed “slumped and died in his office”.

I knew the Deep State took him out.

The man probably knew too much or was against a certain abracadabra they planned to commit.

Being a security personnel is a risk everywhere in the world.

Even the CIA does not fail to eliminate an agent who either knows too much or whose existence would be a future danger to the service.

RIP DIG Egbunike, I hope your death benefits are paid to your family in time.

What will happen to you if you don't measure your dikk with southwest?

The same thing that will happen if Tinubu stops weeing on his cloth.

Something Lagos is lacking.

He will soon communicate the betrayal of Tinubu

Which faction is speaking?

Is it Sani Bello faction

Or Buni faction?

GreenAgain:
In the case between Labour Party and a member of House of Representatives representing Akure North/ South constituency, Hon. Ifedayo Sunday Abegunde. He was elected on the LP’s platform in the Seventh Assembly. He defected to the then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) before the end of his tenure, citing a division in his state chapter of the Labour Party.

In a preemptive move, Abegunde sued his former party at the Federal High Court, Akure, urging it to, among others, deem his defection as proper, to enable him retain his seat. He lost at the trial court, the Court of Appeal and up to the Supreme Court.A seven-man panel of the Supreme Court, headed by then Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Mahmud Mohammed, in its judgment on April 17, 2015, ruled against Abegunde, to the effect that his claim of a division in the chapter of his party in his state did not qualify as the division envisaged under Section 68(1)(g) of the Constitution.

In the lead judgment, Justice Musa Dattijo Mohammad noted that it was only a division that made it “impossible or impracticable” for the party to function by virtue of the provision of Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution that “justifies a person’s defection to another party.”

Justice Muhammad added: “The principles enunciated by this court in the two cases of FEDECO v Goni supra and Attorney-General of the Federation v Abubakar supra, are to the effect that only such factionalisation, fragmentation, splintering or ‘division’ that makes it impossible or impracticable for a particular party to function as such will, by virtue of the proviso to Section 68(1)(g), justify a person’s defection to another party and the retention of his seat for the unexpired term in the house in spite of the defection.”

Despite the unambiguous constitutional provisions on when a defection is proper and clear interpretations of these provisions by the Supreme Court, its application has, in most cases, been subjected to the whims of the leadership of the National Assembly.Before the current wave of defections rocking the National Assembly ahead of 2019 general elections, Zaphaniah Jisalo (Abuja Municipal Area Council /Bwari Federal Constituency of the Federal Capital Territory) and Ahmed-Tijani Damisa (Okene/Ogori-Magongo Federal Constituency in Kogi State) who were elected on PDP platform defected to APC last year. Their defection made PDP’s members in the House to demand that they vacate their seats.

When the issue was raised on the floor of the House, PDP Minority Whip, Umar Barde demanded that the seats occupied by Jisalo and Damisa be declared vacant in view of the provision of Section 68 (1g) of the constitution, and since the party was no longer divided after the Supreme Court’s resolution of the leadership dispute between Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed Makarfi.


The Chairman of the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges, Osai Nicholas Ossai (PDP, Delta), spoke in a similar vein and urged Speaker Yakubu Dogara to invoke Section 68 of the Constitution and declare the defectors’ seats vacant. Dogara declined to accede to the PDP members’ call, but instead, argued that their reliance on Section 68 (1g) to demand that the defectors’ seats be declared vacant was insufficient, adding that the constitution did not define what constituted a division in a political party.

The Speaker was quoted as arguing: “Division in a political party is not defined by the constitution. The constitution does not state whether it should be at the national, state or local government level. So, we should allow the judiciary to do its job.”

Arising from this, the judiciary is now doing their job as the interpreter of the Constitution. Don't you think so?

OUK was so dumb he was transferring money from state cofers to his private companies, that guy deserves a jail term.

What do you expect from an illiterate

Afamed:
To put it in layman's words, where there is a gap in the law, it is not for the the Judge to fill that gap thereby usurping the function of the Legislature and becoming a Judicial activist.

If the 1999 Constitution is silent on the impact of defection of an elected executive, the role of a Judge is to loudly pronounce that silence of the law and reinforce it; not to give voice to wordings of the law that do not exist.

In fact, the silence of the law is presumed to be deliberate as the same lawmakers provided for the impact of defection of members of the legislature.

Matawalle is a case stuy. His defection was already thrown out of the court. The FHC that made Ebonyi case is just wasting his time when the case gets to Appeal court

You are wrong.

The constitution clearly states that an elected official cannot leave the party upon which he was elected except there is division in the party.

Now, was there division in PDP when Umahi defected? No. Therefore his action runs contrary to the provision of the constitution and is therefore illegal.

The judgment is sound. Na u no know the constitution

idahme:
That's the only reason OUK isn't serving yet, EFFC was advised to bring up the matter again for the right procedure to be followed.

Evidences already established to take OUK to prison but we are still waiting for the EFCC after how many months if not years. What a country.

I guess he has paid his dues.

And remember Magu was doing a hatchet job for a certain interest in APC

Can they stop calling it Muhammadu Buhari bridge?

Chineke akpo ha oku

It’s Second Niger Bridge

Or Chinua Achebe bridge

Or Odumegwu Ojukwu bridge.

I no wan hear that rubbish again

Tomek09:
Useless cash n carry judgment.

Justice Inyang Ekwo should be restrained from delivering judgment.

The judge has shown in all his dealing to be partial, partisan and corrupt.

He was the same man behind OUK's ordeal. Thank God a higher court of competent jurisdiction nullified his judgment.

You are wrong.

The judge that sentenced OUK was already an Appeal Court judge when he stepped lower to deliver the judgment that sentenced OUK.

He’s a northerner

The living God has answered our prayers in Osun State. Sensible Nigerians are glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ. In him we the state of Osun believe to make our plans succeed and he has made it possible by giving us Ademola Adeleke as our incoming governor

Don’t rejoice yet.

We just crossed the first hurdle.

Let’s wait and see how the courts decide the case of the PDP factions in Osun.

Be like this APC season film go get more subplots and twists and turns than Game of Thrones o.

I think I need a bag of popcorn to watch it.

My own is that any faction supporting should lose.

This will be an epic battle.
Ganduje was caught red-handed collect dollars while Peter Peter Obi was caught with over N250 million cash in Lagos aside the over $500 exposed he looted into his daughter's Pandora account. While Tinubu n Atiku were born to loot to themselves. This will be the presidential election of the criminals.

Ina ako ajambele

vicdom:
Lol..... If APC dares Muslim/Muslim ticket, which I'm sure they would not even think of it, they will lose even before the election is conducted. Nigeria at this time is highly polarized. Buhari won't even entertain such.

But Tinubu believes so much in it.

This is serious
