People are mixing up things here. The suit to determine whether they are stil members of the House of Assembly hasn't been determined, even at the Federal Courts, before it gets to the Appeal and Supreme Courts.
The case that was withdrawn was about the 2024 budget, whose time has elapsed. The Appeal Court said it should be represented, but it wasn't possible, since we're in 2025.
They should start with 2025 again, let's see where they will get to.
Fubara's lawyers, saw it as a waste of time arguing about. The Appeal Court was specific. 2024 appropriation bill.
Kindly wait for what the lawyers from Fubara's camp will say.
Don't be deceived. The Supreme Court didn't even look at the merits of the case. Thanks.

Mr. Man, the law is explicit and cannot be twisted for any reason. Any legislator that defected before the expiration of his tenure, shall lose his right. This is just a decision that has been taken by the supreme court and doesn't need further interpretation from anyone. For them recanting, that doesn't take away their initial error of publicly defecting to APC.
Mr Law (lol) where was it stated that those members defected? Can you provide the documents they signed for defection? Can you provide where chairman of the other party received them? Show us proof pls.

I hope you're not talking about defection by mere "declaration" or photo-ups.

I don't follow politics. But by training, I work on/follow facts, not mere rhetorics!

This thread shows how em pty most Nigerians are.

The case has already been withdrawn, so what is the fuss?

Again, the poster is mischi evous with the headline.

I don't think this case has anything to do with the authenticity of the decamping of the lawmakers from PDP, rather it has more to do with the presentation of the 2024 budget to the other assembly members etc.
Thank God you said that you think, not that you know 🤣🤣

But the Truth be told,to those who are too embittered about Wike,for not allowing them to have Rivers State- why should 4-Legislatures be Approving Humongous NBILLIONS - out of 27- Legislatures,yet Governor Fubara and his acolytes love it so?
Haba! Don't you people have fear of God,for what % is four to 27 Assembly men, and your resources are being plundered?

Common is very far from you.
Fubara withdrew his appeal

Read

The Supreme Court struck it out

The Supreme Court hasn't decided on the Rivers House defection matter

Fubara withdrew the appeal because that case was about 2024 budget

We are in 2025. That budget is gone.

The expired lawmakers should go and start another case about the 2025 budget

The 2024 budget case that was before the Supreme Court panel has been overtaken by events by virtue of effluxion of time

Those beating drums a d having premature ifedi

Should wait for the main case to reach the supreme court

For now Amaehwule and Co are expired lawmakers
You sure say u dey alright? angry

In the eyes of the law, the budget of last year was illegal whether overtaken or not and also this this year's budget is also illegal whether it is academic exercise or not. All these points to indications that he would lose the defection case
Whether the 2024 budget is illegal or not it has overtaken by an event and the event is that the 2025 budget is in operation. Go and listen to Femi Falana on the same issue today. You can search for the video on the net. I have it but can post video here. He explicitly said, this suit was filed before their defection and their defection suit is already at the federal high court in Portharcout. Meaning if they go to court again to fight for the representation of the 2025 budget to them, the respondent will have a enough ground to address their defection properly as they were unable in this 2024 budget suit. Just try and search for video of Femi Falana reaction to supreme court judgement on Rivers state 2024 budget representation and you will get clearer picture.

Nothing go still happen to Fubara. You're a learner in Nigeria politics. Tinibu is begging Ogini people to allow FG explore and drill oil from the land, a feat that was abandoned for more than 35 years ago. You think the Tinibu will allow Ijaw people to begin their own. Ijaw is not only in Rivers, Bayelsa, part of Ondo and Delta are still Ijaw. Fubara knows what he is doing...

Rivers state politics is now one man show and to a collective interests put together. This country can never grow with this mentality because you're invariably saying, Rivers state people votes weren't what put SIM there but Wike.
You guys should continue playing God but you should remember, God will never share his glory with no man. Those that tried it before, they were grounded into powder.

See the way this one turned Wike to God. It was Wike that gave him that position, not even the people of Rivers state. O ma se o.

Premature to dance naked in the market square. The case has been overtaken by event because the 2025 budget has been passed to overrides that of 2024. If those lawmakers want any governor to represent the 2024 budget, they should tell God to rewind 2024.
Thank you!
Oga stop bringing God into it. God is merciful but man can decide not to be. His actions are now illegal by the judgement of the court

Mr. Man, APC is just been smart by half. These are people that declared their defection on a live tv and they were welcomed by the state chairman of APC in Rivers state and they went to court to go and sworn an affidavit to handicap INEC, State assembly and PDP not to declare their seats vacant because they claimed their was an issue in their former party. Except you wished to tell the world that anyone can just go to court to swear an affidavit without no cogent reason. Have you sat down to ask yourself why they went to the same court to withdrew same affidavit they sworn to. The mean thing is, they cannot undo what has been done because a case has been filed on that ground. You cannot aprobate and reprobate at the same time. Not allowed in law, even though I am not a lawyer but I know all this basic.
If not they have committed perjury for lying on oath, hence they are liable to jail term.

Common sense rulling.

How can 4 votes be more important than the rest of the house? The idiotic Governor should be impeached for this act alone.
This is pure subversion of the will of the people that voted for those Reps.
If you defect to another part you loose your sit. Na wike talk am oo.

That is how they loose the sit that voted them in

Falana is fubara lawyer so what do you expect him to say? I rule you out of order...
The appeal court ordered the budget to be presented to Amaewhule group which is legitimacy and that ruling subsists. Fubara lost today and would still have lost whether he withdrew or not. The apex court ordering fubara to pay separate fines to Amaewhule and the assembly should tell you the direction of the case. Fubara will lose heavily

Yes, they can go to jail for perjury but there's not sufficient ground to claim they defected so fubara loses

Let the court pronounced that there is no sufficient ground for their defection but now their actions and inactions shows they have defected and as such they should wait till court says otherwise. I am sure if the court says otherwise, I know many will file a case of perjury on them immediately. They will go from fry pan into the fire.

WIKE LOSES OUT AS PDP ACCEPT COURT RULING, RESTORES HIS EXCELLENCY Sir Siminalayi Fubara EXCO IN RIVERS STATE. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU SIR .

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has acknowledged and accepted the judgment of the Rivers State High Court, which nullified the party's Ward, Local Government, and State Congresses conducted on July 27, August 10, and August 31, 2024, respectively.

In compliance with the court's decision delivered on Monday, January 13, 2025,
the NWC has reinstated the Hon Nname Robinson Ewor -led Rivers State Executive to oversee the affairs of the PDP in the state, under the party's constitution.

The NWC commended the court's decision, emphasizing the PDP's commitment to transparency, internal democracy, and adherence to the rule of law in its operations.

A statement signed by the PDP national publicity secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba read in parts:

The NWC charges the Ewor-led Rivers State Executive to work hard to further unite the Party in the State so that the people of Rivers State can continue to enjoy the massive dividends of democracy as being delivered by our performing governor, Sir. Siminalayi Fubara, in line with the manifesto and policy thrust of the PDP.

The NWC commends all members of the PDP in Rivers State for their steadfastness and unshaken belief in the ideals of the Party as a truly democratic and all-inclusive Party guided only by the collective Will, yearning and aspiration of the people."

My brother, court rulings do not contemplate and no court will contemplate for the petitioner or the respondent. The case in contention borders on 2024 budget representation and an event has overtaken the 2024 budget representation to Martins and his group of 26 friends because the 2025 budget is now in force. They should go to any high court of their choice to ask for the 2025 budget representation to them and let us hear what the court will say. Shikena!
