AcuraZDX:The headline is saying that they have withdrawn their purported affidavit but when you read the article it says they "withdrawn part of it".... Please does this imply that the affidavits and oaths they took have been amended because to me that's what to withdraw part would mean..... In as much as I know that even such affidavit can't actually stand in court for this particular case but does Gov. Fubara and his men not gotten their hands on this so called affidavit or what exactly has he been using as evidence in the Courts he has been going to or we are just relying on media dramas and gimmicks and fairy tales. |

Criminals . Fubara, just accept them back but thread with caution with them. Anything linked to the APC is dearly criminal. They're already infected. Be warned |

I am a Fubara supporter ....but this news gives me joy. So they finally know that the affidavit is a stronger weapon than the letter to Pdp ward chairman and all the stories about APC register . I SAID IT BEFORE AND STILL MAINTAIN THAT.... THAT AFFIDAVIT FINISHED THEM . IF WIKE LIKES LET HIM BUILD 10 ESTATES FOR THE JUDICIARY IT WONT HELP HIM Attempt to withdraw it will land many people in prison. |

If the news isn't fake and truly that ,they secretly withdrew it, .....it shows, Fubara is too weak, he supposed to have gotten it long time ago, ......because that's his exhibit to tender in the court, to nail Wike. |

MEGAWATCH:Pls tell MEGAWATCH. Nigerians are the problems of themselves,not the politicians who don't even care or know anything about the welfare of their gullible followers. They're mainly after their pocket and selfish gains. Wike isnt fighting for rivers but for his personal and selfish interests. If you don't support them, they'd not have a voice and the masses will always win |

Saao:The court of law is not social media. A video doesn't serve as the required document for joining a party or resigning from a party. And this news must be fake because you do no need to swear affidavit that you have left a party. What you need do is present a resignation letter. The PDP doesn't have a resignation letter presented to them by the law makers, a resignation letter is the official document recognized by the law not a video. without a resignation letter their names remain in the PDP register which is why the state PDP has said that the lawmakers are still their members. So Fubara needs to provide their resignation letter from the PDP and also provide evidence that their names are on the register of the APC Fubara and his lawyers have non of this. which is why the court is actually right about what they are doing. Nigerians are too emotional and stewpeedity that is why many people are saying Wike braided this and that. The judgment is open and plane. You can't have 27 members in a state house and only 4 members pass a budget into law, it is illegal, Fubara may be facing alot of issues after leaving office, because in the eyes of the law he has no right spending the money he is spending because in the eyes of the law the budget has not been passed. |

Saao:So despite all that I just explained to you so you can have a clear understanding this is your respond.... You lack ability for logical reasoning and I can't help you with that. This is why I say 90% of Nigerian graduates have zero education.... If the video was enough evidence what have Fubara lawyers not used it as their key evidence in court... You are ignorant someone is trying to tell you what you don't know instead of you to learn you are displaying stewpeedity. This is why many of you remain poor and stagnant in life and them fake prophets cash out on your ignorance..... You have locked your brain to knowledge. You have nothing in your head and you still reject knowledge.... How fullish and pathetic...... Don't mention me again. I hate stewpeedity with passion. You think the law revolves around the nothing you have in your empty head.... We are outlining the facts of an issue you bleeting |

EmeeNaka:They cant do that without the Prescence of other they joined in the suit, if the court did that, then Wike has single handily destroyed our judiciary and we all looking and clapping for him, they withdraw it or not is already in the court records stamped and seal, nobody forced them in making that affidavit and it took them almost a year to get back their senses. we are watching them. |

AcuraZDX:The Nigerian Constitution's provisions regarding the defection (decamping) of lawmakers are self-executing. This means that the rules and consequences outlined in Sections 68 and 109 regarding the vacation of seats for National Assembly and State House of Assembly members are automatically enforceable without the need for additional laws or actions to be taken by other bodies. |

In Nigerian law, the right to withdraw an affidavit in court is generally permissible, as affidavits are statements made under oath that can be amended or withdrawn if necessary. However, in this context, withdrawing the affidavit after using it to justify defection could raise questions about the integrity of their claims and actions. Here’s how the law might view this: 1. Affidavit as Evidence: The affidavit serves as evidence to justify the defection by claiming there was a division within the PDP that “forced” the lawmakers to defect. Withdrawing this affidavit could imply that the original claim of division was either inaccurate or no longer applicable. This action may potentially expose the lawmakers to legal challenges if they cannot substantiate the basis for defection. 2. on Office Retention: According to Section 68(1)(g) of the Nigerian Constitution, a legislator who defects without a valid reason (like a division in their former party) may be required to vacate their seat. If the lawmakers' affidavit withdrawal is perceived as a tacit admission that there was no genuine division in the PDP, it could weaken their argument for staying in office after defection. The PDP or other stakeholders might challenge their seats, arguing they no longer have constitutional grounds to remain in office. 3. Right to Withdraw: While they have the technical right to withdraw an affidavit, doing so after publicly defecting could be considered as creating procedural or substantive legal issues. Courts may view the initial affidavit as a material fact upon which certain court orders and party affiliations were based. This could complicate their position if it is argued that they used the affidavit to gain a court order and subsequently retracted it without proper justification. In essence, they have the right to withdraw the affidavit but doing so might undermine their legal standing and expose them to challenges regarding the legitimacy of their continued tenure in office.

EmeeNaka:Even if they withdrew the affidavit, PDP and Governor Fubara has their own copy of the affidavit. The court where the affidavit was issued have a duplicate copy of the affidavit |
| Re: Pro-wike Rivers Lawmakers Secretly Withdraw Court Affidavit Confirming Defection by ZIAZI(m): 11:20am On Oct 31, 2024 |
That affidavit is worthless because it contains information that is manifestly untrue. The law is that where an affidavit contains manifestly untrue statements, then the court MUST discard it. Why do I say so? They were not and are still not members of the APC. The defection would have been complete if they actually registered as members of the APC in accordance with Article 9 of the APC Constitution that deals with membership. An affidavit cannot make them APC members because the is a peculiar way to join APC as enshrined in Article 9 of the APC Constitution. An affidavit cannot make me Governor of Rivers State. This is elementary law and it has nothing to do with emotions. They however should be charged with perjury because they misled the court.

Swearing to an affidavit to a defection or the intention to do so does not amount to getting it done. You need to perfect the process for it to be effective. If I swear to an affidavit that I am the president of Nigeria, it means nothing until I contest and win an election. |
