Good one

Please cite the sections of the constitution that states all you've written here.

Eteka1:
someone can only be deemed to have legally left his political party by letter of resignation signed by him/her, addressed to his or her Ward Chairman. Then someone can only be deemed to have legally joined a new political party when he proceeds to get enrolled in the ward register of the new party and is issued a membership card. Anything less than these is just tales by moonlight in the eyes of the law.

Everytime I hear you guys says that they swore affidavit that they have defected I laugh. If I swear affidavit that I am a US citizen, does that make me a US citizen when I don't have the US passport and all the necessary documentation?

You reason like a baby. Do you know what it means to swear an oat before the court? If you don't know go and ask. My only concern is that I don't have confidence in the Nigerian Judicial system. The judge, who gave a judgement that made No.4 in an election in Imo State to be No.1, is now the Chief Justice of the Federation,
In a saner clime, they know they have gone for good. Look at what the judiciary in Nigeria have turned to be. This is just my worry.

your brain is upside down. Most of you think that the law works with sentiments not facts.

Proof of membership of a political party in Nigeria is membership register and membership card.

Harsh please

What a load of bull’!

Don’t know why you’re getting your knickers in a twist! Was my post referring to the legality or the shamelessness of the issue!?

You lot think you’re talking to kids here that you can try and confuse with your legal mumbo-jumbo! Those ‘requirements for being deemed to have legally left a political party’ that you mentioned, are they exhaustive? Are you telling me that in all cases in the practice of partisan politics in Nigeria, that this is how one waves bye-bye to a political party they’re leaving….ie, pen a letter detailing their intention!? Where did you see this ‘golden rule’!? Care to provide a link!? So what if a member dies…..will their ghost write the letter and send via some spirit-world post-office medium to the earthly world!? If your resignation list doesn’t include leaving by reasons of death or incapacitation, then it’s by no means exhaustive and that means other means of being deemed to have left a political-party can be considered….and what other means can show clear intent than a video recording and swearing a affidavit in court!? A letter or paper with a signature can even be forged!

Your analogy of swearing affidavit to gain American citizenship is lame and not applicable in this situation, and i’ll tell you why! Swearing a affidavit that you’ve LEFT a political-party doesn’t require any documents or acceptance from the party you’re leaving for you to leave! You don’t need their blessing to leave! It’s akin to when you want to resign from an organisation, you don’t need their blessing to leave…unless of course you’re their slave! You just notify them either by lettter, whatsapp, phone or you just up and leave and they will deem it that you’ve resigned your employment by not showing up! On the other hand, swearing a affidavit with the aim of being considered a American citizen is madness in your part because you need the other party to accept your action! You get me! You can’t become a American citizen until the party granting said citizenship is satisfied you’ve fulfilled all requirements stipulated by them!

Now on the other leg of the issue, as to whether the rogue, partyless assembly members joined APC….Governor Fubara and his legal team need not lose any sleep over that one! That should be the headache of the rogue assembly members….THEY used their own mouths to ruin their political career by declaring they’ve left PDP! They jumped and were not pushed! If their lawyers now want to argue that they didn’t join APC because they didn’t go through the proper route, then based on all i’ve said thus far, it means the fools are PARTYLESS! That’s their cross, let them carry it! The law states that you defect from the party con which you got elected, and you automatically lose your elected position! You can defect to another party and if the party you claim to have defected to denies you, then na your wahala be dat! Them now being partyless because of their hasty and daft decision is of no concern to Governor Fubara!
