You guys have started again.

I don't know if it's the members of the House that choose who should be the speaker or it is the Governor. Until we respect the rule of law and separation of power, we'll continue to fail as a Nation. Why should the executive continue to interfere with the matters of the Legislature and even the judiciary?

lexy2014:
Is it the governor that determines the speaker or the house of assembly?

Will every one from akoko Edo start buying fuel for N200 if okogbe becomes speaker?

Freetech:
This is wrong but with what Obaseki have turned Edo politics into there's no two way to it

No governor will allow a snitch or ambitious individual to occupy speaker position.

kedeojo:
He will likely be the speaker cos that foolish Abegbaku was used against Edo north interest by Obaseki. He has been trying to romance the Apc leadership in the state and probably join and retain his speakership position. Let him continue to follow Obaseki.

If I'm not mistaking this guy is formal aau ekpoma sug president

fiercehillz:
Na Governor dey choose speaker.


Separation of power nor dey exist again o

Do you know what? Most Nigerians - including those that went to school - don't understand this democracy we are practicing. See this appalling ignorance and public disgrace! Should the governor-elect and the party leadership be the ones to appeal to if you want to be the House of Assembly speaker.

It shows how we have been doing the wrong thing for a long time until we now think that the wrong path is right. If the choice of the speaker lies with the governor, it means that we have already accepted that there will be no checks and balances/separation of powers.

Ah! I'm losing hope of Nigeria ever getting it right. We have everything that makes democracy impossible - from poverty to ignorance to ethnic stupidity and more. Call me a wailer, it's now my official name. Ndị a bụrụ ọnụ.
