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...
How do you obtain an affidavit? From akara sellers, yes? Telling a lie under oath (affidavit) is a crime, no?

Supreme Court justices have shown over the years that there's no case under the sun that cannot be twisted in your favour if they really want to work in your favour.

Resigning from the PDP is one issue; joining the APC is another issue. Any judge with a functional brain can knock you out depending on which side of the argument he chooses to embrace.

SC is right on this. Every institution have due processes especially being a valid member of a political party.
I'm not sure I understand your point bro...what processes are you talking about?

Bullshit, if I tender an affidavit that I am the President of Nigeria? Does that make me the president of Nigeria unless I went through the process of becoming the president and was pronounced elected?

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
Okay👌...it's entertaining to watch from the outside tho, I'm sure fubara isn't going to just lie down and allow them impeach and remove him from the office

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.
I agree that only the house can declare a seat vacant.

But in a case where the speaker refuses to do that, any aggrieved member of the house can approach the courts to compel the speaker to declare the seats vacant according to the provision of the constitution.

Can't nobody tell me nothing,

I don't need the Supreme Court to teach me this.

People that announced their defection and even held APC flag and sang "on ur mandate" this judgment is ridiculous
Really....
If someone happens to wear a polo shirt bearing the insignation of any political party does that make that individual a member of the party even if he sings their mantra song?




Now, let's take it further,
If one is seen putting on a polo shirt bearing IPOB or UGM and even if the fello chants their songs does it signify that such is a member?



Have you not also come across people who are not members of secret cult who exchange a specific cult handshake and speaks their lingua......will you consider such a member of the cult without doing your due diligence?

There was a country where the executive power supersede the rest of the other arms of government. Where the Legislature and Judiciary are mere rubber stamps....and only takes directives from the almighty president. There was a country killed and buried by corruption from the top to the bottom. There was a country where a member of a rival opposition party parties with the ruling party and was even made a minister because he masterminded the rigging of a presidential election to favour the opposition party in his state when he was the Governor. There was a country that was a big joke. There was NIGERIA

But we're not talking about them joining apc, but rather about them leaving pdp. The members wrote resignation letters and swore affidavits to that effect, how come this isn't enough to show that they're no longer pdp members?

Have they gone to renounce PDP?
Do you know lying under oath is an offence in Nigeria and can earn them at least 3 months jail id fubara pursues that

Bobodee09:
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.

There won't be need for any impeachment if he obey the court, reconcile and cooperate with the house.

The judgement should be on whether they're still recognized as pdp members not whether they're registered apc members

E don be. Fubara should find ways to make peace with these lawmakers (not Wike) for the sake of Rivers ppl so as to give them the development he promised. He should forget 2nd term if not he would be forced to do evil things and be worst than Wike.
window for peace Don pass bro... D fubara guy acted too fast.... U don't betray someone like wike dat fast.... Haba

If you tender an affidavit like that, you are not the president but you will surely end up in prison, in a sane country.

But you think this Supreme Court will send those Wike loyalists and by extension Tinubu loyalists to prison?

You don't even have to be a justice of the supreme court or even a lawyer to know that the allegation of defection was watery. We said it here many times that there are no concrete proofs to their defection.
My Lord Justices also said Fubara had already collapsed the house of Assembly which is a fundamental point of the case that many layman did not see. These judges are very intelligent and highly skilled in their profession. I could recall that Rivers State House of Assembly ceased to exist the very day Gov Fubara set the building on fire. Therefore you can be said to have defected in a house that does not exist. Amazing judgement.
Based on this judgment, is it the building that make the HOA, or the elected legislators?

If the HOA building is under repairs, and they decide to hold their sittings elsewhere with the mace and all, will those sittings be said to be unconstitutional?

It is very easy to flex zero intellect when a decision has gone your way.

How did this case even get to the Supreme Court?

This case hasn't even been filed at the High Courts and Appeal Court.

We all know that their names are still in the register of the PDP in their respective wards and no one from there have come out to debunk that?

Even Gov. Fubara knows that.

Those who even joined the APP from the PDP for the LG elections still have their names on the PDP register in their wards and units.....

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.
Did they 27 HOA members swear Affidavit in court? If they did, why was it necessary for them to?
