Some people will come and start complaining now, insulting Fubara

People supporting a private citizen that is not holding any official position in Rivers State over a sitting governor is beyond me.
na Yoruba people they thrive on injustice

I am sure that many people who are hailing Fubara will go to sad mode by the time Supreme court gives their judgement. It is only those that believed that Buhari was dead and cloned always rejoice when a case has not ended. I pity most of you and we will all be back here to know who is who

Your explanation go long

Whalis:
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.

They all lost the election to LP but Wike rigged them in & also retired them, their political career gone, next election none will make it, even after eight they will keep begging for appointment that is the bad side of Rivers politics, they don't forgive & forget
They didn't loose to LP the guys that lost to LP where the senators and house of representative members but were upturned by Wike. The guber elections Wike used violence to stop people from coming out to vote

Trust nonsense Nigeria judiciary at your own peril

Another mumu foreign based judge will soon say otherwise
There is a supreme Court precedent as regards this defection, unless supreme Court will over rule itself

How about the constitutional sections that says if their is division in the party? What can you say about that or you don't know their is something like that?
There is a supreme Court precedent as regards this and division is only recognized when their is division in the National working committee and not division in the state chapter. Example parallel NWC of the party in the national level is a good grounds for defection without loosing their seats but division in the state chapter doesn't affect the running of the party at the center.

.

Can you mention the names of 3 of the LP candidates? No make me laugh abeg.
Rivers people voted massively for PDP during the Guber/HOA elections.

For the Presidential election, we were divided between Obi and Asiwaju. Atiku was the third choice.
In the presidential election we were not divided we voted massively for LP , if you have access to the original sheets emanating from the pooling units you will understand this but in the HoA PDP took everything because of the voter apathy and the threats for people not to come out to vote, PDP won massively in that elections.

There is a Court of Appeal judgement coming up next week that is still based on this defection issue. Until then, make we dey observe.

As some of una dey happy with this ruling, I no 1 hear "Our judiciary is helplessly corrupt" when it goes the other way.
There is a supreme Court precedence in this matter, there is no where to hide.

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?
Can you site anywhere in the constitution, be it Nigeria Constitution or PDP constitution where it is stated that for any member to be deem defected, he MUST write a letter to the speaker and the speaker will read it in the floor of the house before such individual could be assumed to be defected? Those stuffs are mere formalities. In law court, both written, video and oral evidence are admissible.

It's not Igbo names. The names only sound like Igbo names to you. The spelling and meaning of those names are different from Igbo names.

You're talking like this is the first time Nigerian politicians have defected.

For whatever isn’t explicitly mentioned in the constitution, courts use precedents to pass judgment. And on this matter there is ample precedent.

This is from the Appeal court, the judges even asked pro wike lawmakers to serve pro sim lawmakers via watsapp because they are trying to employ delay tactics, why employ delay tactics if they are so sure of winning?
I told you and I will say it again, the Amaewhule led- 25 wike puppets will lose their Assembly seats.
We stand with the Oku Jumbo led Assembly.
Good riddance

What do you know? Instead of expressing your opinion you resorted to exuding gutter language because you have nothing to say. People like you will be ignorant but still die in his ignorance.

Below is the constitution cited and the landmark supreme Court ruling as regards to defection , read and educate yourself so that you won't resort to insult in an intellectual discuss.
