It's only in Nigeria that a candidate wins election through a political party and the party's ideology but defects to another political party, yet aspires to retain the same seat which belongs to the former political party. Keep watching; APC appointed higher court judges in Abuja may find technicalities to quash this noble judgment by the lower court in Rivers state. |

senatordave1:Did you hear the letters read out by the then speaker as written by the individual ex lawmakers? Anyway, I see your argument. You suppose the ex speaker must have tampered/destroyed the letters he read out that day. Well he may have or may not have but I want to believe those letters will be produced should the need arise. |

This kangaroo order is of no consequence. The judgement from the Federal High in Abuja is still subsisting and have not been appealed against. Fubara's camp is yet to comply with it and you are using incompetent judges now to issue rubbish orders from Edison Ehie to Jumbo. The crisis continues. Shame to Rivers State judiciary. |

You don’t fight a sitting governor and win especially when that governor knows the powers he or she wields .. The defected lawmakers should forget about politics and face other business ventures if they are not aware of the recently amended electoral law.. Their anger is what I call “mumu Anger” now wike will abandon you all. Ndo |

Martinsvp1:The fact that you said Wike will abandon them shows you don't know what you are talking about. Fubara is just wasting his time. Right now he is still running the state without a budget. The judgement from Justice Omotosho is still subsisting. The lawmakers have nothing to fear from incompetent judges in Rivers State issuing kangaroo orders. |

mairogo:You will produce those letters physically before the court and match it with the video and the speaker must confirm that he endorsed them.ofcourse,this won't happen sir.it is settled law that where there is a contention in court over verbal and written evidences,written evidences will always supercede... In the case of obi and atiku vs tinubu,the court thrashed all video evidences showing that inec chair announced electronic transmission.this is a settled matter |

senatordave1:I understand what you're saying, let's see how it pans out. The days ahead promise to be interesting but I hope right reason prevails. Political prostitution is one of the reasons why our democracy hasn't developed. |

senatordave1:Are you really following this event or you just choose to be a zombie!! We all saw how thier defection was read in the house, and they all came out in front of the house celebrating thier defection waving APC flags!! That shows both express and implied defection!! |
| Re: Court Declares 25 Rivers Assembly Seats Vacant by senatordave1(m): 6:49pm On May 30, 2024 |
mairogo:The lawmakers claim to return to pdp and the party said they are still their members so the matter should be dead as they quickly realized their mistake...for me political prostitution is fuelled by the monetization or our politics.let is make our politics unlucrative and see good leadership |
| Re: Court Declares 25 Rivers Assembly Seats Vacant by senatordave1(m): 6:55pm On May 30, 2024 |
Sermwell:How you see things is not how the law sees it son.i believe you followed the obi vs tinubu case and must have learnt some lessons albeit painful.... The constitutional process of defection is that a signed letter by the defector must be read and endorsed by the speaker.can you provided that letter? Can you prove that they are no more pdp members |
| Re: Court Declares 25 Rivers Assembly Seats Vacant by Whalis: 6:55pm On May 30, 2024 |
mairogo:But the court that at the time of their defection that Edison Ehie was the speaker. Bros this thing juxtapose. If you make a case that Amaewhule was the speaker we would ask who passed the budget SIM is using. |

How can the judge declare their seats vacant pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit? So what will the substantive suit be about when he has already touched on the main issue. Such incompetence. It is a shame how corrupt and desperate the judiciary has become. |

senatordave1:Can you quote where the Constitution says a letter must be written and read in the house before a defection is valid |

senatordave1:Public Declaration: Elected officials or public figures may publicly announce their switch to another party. You only read the part of a signed letter by the deflector and must be read and endorsed by the speaker. How about public declaration don't you think that will be presented before the court too? |

Arabk25:There is no provision for that in the constitution |

They don’t deserve to be called lawmakers in the first instance. As a law maker, you are expected to know the intricacies of the law. They should have stayed back in PDP and truncate Fubara’s government rather than decamping. As it’s now, they should just ask Wike to get them clerk jobs at the Ministry of Federal capital to survive till another election comes. |
| Re: Court Declares 25 Rivers Assembly Seats Vacant by Nobody: 8:15pm On May 30, 2024 |
Wike just flashed them with Assembly seats and withdrew the seats again. In short, this one pass flashing 😀 This one na "please call me"😂😂😂 |
