You know the truth but continue. Their affidavit to that effect is still there.
I don’t know what or how you people think with emotions.

It’s very Clear to any sane person that there was no defection or can be proof in the court of law, but only a politician or people with half knowledge will think otherwise.

People are missing the most important part, where the Justices state clearly that only a valid House has the power to declare a seat vacant, not the courts, not Governors.

As far as I am concerned, they just need to remove this rubbish of declaring a seat vacant because you moved to another party, it doesn't affect the Executive, it doesn't happen in UK, it doesn't happen in USA...it just pute rubbish IMO and a waste of everybody's time.

It isn't about affidavit. If you go check the APC state Register will you see their names there?

Have they gone to renounce PDP?
Agreed it isn't about affidavit, but do you know as they were running away from one trouble they roping themselves in another problem because lying under oath is also criminal offence, that is why lying is bad, because if you make one lie you need to make multiple lies to cover that single lie.

Brutality.

No high court will put body in this matter as e be



The fact that I held Spanish flag during euro league and declared myself a Spaniard doesn't make me one!!
But if you go to any embassy and present an affidavit sworn in a court of competent jurisdiction, claiming to the embassy that you are a Spaniard when you are actually a Nigerian, you will be arrested and imprisoned instantly for forgery or falsification.

If they are not registered with the APC, did they write to resign their membership of the PDP,?? I think that's another angle to it

The Supreme Court judges made brilliant submissions

1. Fubara already demolished the Assembly Complex. From that point onward, there were no valid sittings

2. Since you cannot build something on nothing, all the defection stories thus became DEAD on arrival

3. The killer punch was that their names were not in the register of the APC.

I said all these in my last article. FUBARA is back to ground Zero. From this point onward, he needs to find a cleverer way to navigate his political journey.

Femi Falana, Ugichinyere and their cohorts were merely deceiving Governor Sim for their own selfish benefits. The right strategy for Sim would have been to lobby those Assembly members over to his side. I said this several times here and as far back as November 2023 that the strategy of fighting the Assembly men would backfire. Where are those over sabi people that were misinterpreting our constitution then?
Falana own is understandable. Na wetin him go chop hin dey pursue. But that yeye ugochinyete with red cap na mumu wey dey inside mud come dey look for who go join am. Since his house was razed to the ground in his state, he does not comment on the matter there again but can talk on Rivers since Oga Fubara sef na MU raise to power two.

I do have issues with the supreme Court judgement, does it mean that they no longer recognize a sworn affidavit from a valid court as a legal document? The part about the lawmakers not being in apc member register is not really important here, the issue at hand was about whether there is evidence that they defected from pdp, not on whether they're registered in apc. Nevertheless, the supreme Court have given their judgement, however flawed it is, and has to be obeyed.

This has rendered whatever is coming from the high court useless.

Those assembly members by word of mouth alone cannot be said to be APC members, they have not registered to have joined APC neither is their names in the APC register or collected APC membership cards
They were the first to use affidavit to declare the party transfers and those who were anti Wike sought them good riddance to bad rubbish.
I still wonder how many fell for such !!!

I asked someone during that early season....
Does it mean one can put up an affidavit to resign from his place of work and submit same to the office?

Every reputable company has a process of staffs putting up resignation letters and an affidavit is not one of them...

Now that supreme court has gave its judgement it's time for peace to reign,there's no need for any grandstanding anymore it's time for genuine reconciliation. Both the governor and the legislators should forget about what has happened and come together for the sake of Rivers state people.

From the day Fubara demolished the State House of Assembly, every other actions of the lawmakers were not recognized by the Supreme court. It was a way of the Supreme Court punishing Fubara for demolishing the State House of Assembly. That offense was deemed terrible by the Supreme Court. It is a valid ground for Fubara's impeachment

Fubara was too slow ... Anyways,it's that business,not mine
On the contrary, he was too fast for himself.
He started the battle too early. No sane governor starts a fight with his predecessor barely 6 or 8 months into a tenure .

SC is right on this. Every institution have due processes especially being a valid member of a political party.

The people that advised him to take the action never told him it is a slap on the judiciary and a gross violation of the principle of separation of powers.

Falana has lost every respect I have for him honestly.

Fine Fubara is a rookie in politics but Falana is a old man in this game who shouldn't mislead him just for money sakes.


Even people that aren't lawyers already no you can't decamp to another party without being a card carrying member.


In all this I just hate the fact river state money is just wasted on useless political fights.

2yrs of useless political fights......wike and fubara should go to HELL.
Data is still very cheap!

The way politicians are openly frolicking with judicial officers in this country is highly disturbing. This explains all the funny controversial judgements coming from the courts.

That's the point, if PDP have proof of defection (written and signed letters of resignation), that should be basis of argument and presentation to the law court regardless of whether they are now members of a new party or "partyless". After all, the SC ruled that they are not members of the APC which I believe that's what the PDP built their case on.

Try and comment without sentiment.

Even if they sang " on your prick we shall stand".

The learned justices don't deliver judgement based on sentiment.

The only clever way is for the useless elders who misled him to be at the vanguard of straightening the already battered relationship with his Oga. Simply put, a political solution which people were suggesting ab initio .
