fabolouz1:Oga such thing can't happen again, then we were close to the military era and Obasanjo was also a military blood. Now such can not happen, fubara can go to court and file an injunction or stay or order. You guys think this is military era. The actions taken by the federal government in Plateau (2004) and Ekiti (2006) were controversial in terms of their legality under the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria. Here’s why: 1. What the Constitution Says About a State of Emergency Under Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution, the President can declare a state of emergency in a state, but only under specific conditions, such as: - War, insurrection, or civil unrest that endangers public safety. - The breakdown of law and order beyond the control of local authorities. - A natural disaster or other emergencies that require federal intervention. However, after declaring a state of emergency, the Constitution does not explicitly give the President the power to remove an elected governor. Instead, the governor remains in office, though his powers may be suspended. 2. Controversy Over the Removal of Governors - In both Plateau and Ekiti, the federal government not only declared a state of emergency but also suspended the governors (Joshua Dariye and Ayo Fayose). - Legality Issue: There is no clear constitutional provision that allows the President to remove a governor via a state of emergency. The only constitutional ways to remove a governor are: 1. Impeachment by the State House of Assembly (Section 188). 2. Resignation or death of the governor. 3. A court ruling nullifying an election. - The federal government’s decision to suspend these governors and appoint sole administrators was therefore seen as extra-constitutional (outside the clear provisions of the law). 3. Was It Officially Justified? - The federal government justified its actions by arguing that the crisis in those states made governance impossible and that decisive intervention was needed. - However, many legal experts and politicians criticized these moves as political overreach and an abuse of executive power. - The fact that this practice has not been repeated in later states of emergency (e.g., Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa during the Boko Haram crisis in 2013) suggests that it was not a legally sustainable precedent. Conclusion While the federal government carried out these actions and made them "official," they were not clearly legal under the 1999 Constitution. The removal of elected governors through a state of emergency remains a grey area and is widely viewed as unconstitutional. Mumu idiat, that can't do a common research no be your fault, naa Glo and AI fault Idiat. Who's the child now, bastard I don't blame you, but those guys that raped your prostitutional mother who gave birth to you. Mugu |

There are 3 ARMS OF GOVERNMENT in a state, Fubara is only the head of ONE OF THE THREE arms of government. WIKE has not even started dealing with him. Its the LAW and LAWMAKERS that are currently dealing with him. Fubara is not bigger than the two arms of government. He does anyhow, he's be impeachment and if he talks violence, THE ARMY will come in, arrest him and CHARGE HIM TO COURT FOR INCITING VIOLENCE. |
