Wike the fool and powerdrunk ragamuffin. He reminds of one sweet and cautioning song that says nothing lasts forever. He can still hold sway in Abuja but never again in Rivers State

A court does not need to declare their seats vacant. It becomes vacant immediately they defected.

Now, quote the section of the law that explicitly stated the highlighted part and the process required.

Good. Wike should tell them to STAND down.

The idea of judiciary or court in Nigeria is a joke. The "court" is essentially one big belle man or woman sitting in one corner, guzzling beer, with all his or her typical biases, prejudices, amenability to inducemment and intimidation, corruption, ignorance, stupidity, leanings, frailties, socio-fraternal primordial ties, etc arbitrarily making a pronouncement about a matter.

It is actually a joke. We are only deceiving ourselves whenever we say these things. "Court" orders indeed. We are not ripe for these things. Mumu society.

Truth be told, Fubara na mumu governor. Can any house of Assembly member in Nigeria try all this rubbish with a governor? I miss Wike for this,he would have demolished all they have ever worked for in life and set them up for arrest
perfectly said...he is weak and talked too much ......he has no reason to be scared of bat because u already know the game you are playing....u should have the hearts to make the big decisions

The constitution does not say a court has to declare them ex-lawmakers. The process is clearly spelt out and it has been followed to the letter in the eyes of the law

That's your own interpretation. In reality the court must decide, while the constitution is only made to guide the courts in their decision making.

And if that's so, them many of the members in the legislative chambers across the country should not be there, since they have at one time or another cross-carpet while serving. Remember Saraki and his legislative followers during nPDP saga.

Nothing has been followed. The process laid down has not been complied with. Amaewhule remains the speaker to give effect to the provision. The wanted felon, Edison Ehie and his cohorts were suspended. You don't know what you are talking about.

Are you the one who made them former lawmakers? Your foundation is faulty, nothing will stand on it. The speaker Amaewhule and his members are the only legitimate lawmakers in the house and are the majority. Giving an injunction against all of them, amounts to stopping legislative functions and no court has that power. The rest of the 3 or 4 members were suspended long ago.
lolz! This one strong

Nice one from the Judiciary.
A State Assembly that works against the elected governor is most abusive to the role of the legislative arm of governnent.

lolz! Do they have the jurisdiction to suspend the 4 lawmakers? They already lost their seats and have no legitimate power to suspend anybody. Their pronouncement is invalid

They have the authority and the suspension was done before their defection, not like the defection affects anything but I stated it for record purposes and facts. They haven't lost their seats and remain legislators.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:

An Order of interim injunction is granted restraining the 1st to 25th Defendants from parading and holding out themselves as members of Rivers State House of Assembly and/or meeting at the Auditorium of the House of Assembly Quarters located at off Aba Road, Port Harcourt or any other place whatsoever to purport to carry business of the Rivers State House of Assembly, their legislative seats having been deciared vacant pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.

If I was Fubara, after taking out these charlatans called house members, I'll take over Rivers PDP leadership and find a way to expel Wike and his goons. Then install my stooges everywhere down to ward level. This kind of fight is one that you don't look back, it's a fight to finish

They didn't just meet their equal; they just met their waterloo.

They never understood the fact that Nigeria's Constitution forbids two governors at the same time for one state.
Their constituencies need to call for their recall from the legislative seats. They are a disaster to democracy.

INEC has received the letter of defection as required by the constitution.
The purported suspension was null and void

That's a lie. The constitution must be obeyed by all citizens. Saraki and his followers defected after a split at national PDP led by Bugaje. Go and check the records

🤡 The wanted felon, Edison Ehie remained a suspended member of the house, until his resignation. The suspension was never vacated, just as he was never a speaker, but an imposter like the latest clown called Victor Jumbo.

We could hv bn proud of Rivers State, but those senseless APC politicians who are pro-Wike stripped Rivers People of every iota of respect!

Shame to Wike & those APC politicians.

Rivers no be Lagos!
