I agree with you they are not members of APC and neither are they members of PDP or any other party at all. They openly deposed to the affidavit of defecting to another party or you think they just wanted to withdraw the affidavit for no reason? They know the implications. As it is Nigeria Constitution has no provision for independent candidacy so they don't belong to any political party again because since their names were removed from the PDP register having deposed to the affidavit. We voted parties on the ballot and not individuals as such if you are not a member of any you lose your seat.

Mynd44:
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

Like I already said in a previous thread, the issue of whether or not the 27 members defected will be very difficult (if not impossible) to prove because the basis of proving whether those members actually defected lies in the hands of the new party in which they were said to have defected into.

The Supreme Court in all finality has laid the matter to rest!

The Supreme court said no!
and even if they did decamp it didn't stop them being Lawmakers because there was party crisis at the time

Chai, I never knew the supreme court could play dirty like this. There's absolutely no sound reason on this judgement. This is a clear miscarriage of justice!

"Physical building doesn't define or give authority" to legislative business.

If the Supreme Court rely only one basis that the legislators are not APC members for the fact that they are not registered members of APC, why are they silent on "actual party status of the members"?

I think PDP messed up big time on this issue of defection. Party organs within PDP should have taken an immediate decisive steps to "dismember" the defectors. That would have rendered them party less.

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.

We all knew he was never going to win at the supreme court as far Tinubu is president and wants another written result in River state ... enough of all these gibberish ... even the Governor is aware, nobody is surprised with the out come, thread is only 8 page since the news came out many hours ago grin grin

Okpebholo1:
He never said courts do not have powers to declare seats vacant. That power primarily belongs to the legislature, courts only act as var
This is contrary to Abegunde v Ondo Assembly & Ors
The Supreme Court dived into the issue on who has the power, they are doing the same thing they did on LG issue.

That panel was a full bench of the Supreme Court and was strict on the fact that yes, they cannot execute, theirs is to interprete. The word shall is mandatory.

That is where Pdp miss it.remember ,Pdp owns both pdp and A.p.c in rivers state.Stop blaming supreme court they only work on evidence giving to them
Re: The 27 Members Of Rivers Assembly Are Not APC Members - Supreme Court by Peacecore: 8:48pm On Mar 05, 2025
Eriokanmi:
Court dwells on evidence to adjudicate as you know. They all submitted a written letter with their signatures well appended to Fubara, ceasing to be members of the PDP. Even if they're not card carrying or registered members of the apc or any political party, the road is clear enough. That will be used against them.

It's just like you resigning from working with a company. Whichever company you joined or whatever you do with your life subsequently is none of your ex-empkoyer's business. You cannot resign and now want to come back to work. That letter you submitted is enough to nail you, should you wish to play smart.

When the supreme court said the law makers aren't members of the apc, the court was right. They're also not members of the pdp. The letters they submitted is a proof.
If you chose to learn; resignation is never done when you write to your state gov, the president, state chief judge or ur village chief. It's conditionally done when you write to ur ward executive and they receive it. Did they do that? No! In fact pdp denied receiving such letter from them and severally mentioned that they're still their members. No defection is not done by snap-chatting, it's by registering with a new party and their card issued to you. Did that happen? No! APC denied them being their members. So what are you then saying?
Re: The 27 Members Of Rivers Assembly Are Not APC Members - Supreme Court by chronique(m): 8:49pm On Mar 05, 2025
Rivers state people should do everything to frustrate the 27 members of HoA from being even able to seat, let alone legislate anything, going forward. Since the judiciary has decided to be extremely brazenly corrupt, the people should take it upon themselves to defend the state. I will not say the exact thing that I mean but I hope those from there, know exactly what this means.

ddippset:
Therefore you have admitted yourself that the names on party register doesn't and should never be used as a criterion for defection.

People never go back to their wards when they defect, it is the duty of their ward chairmen to strike out their names during the next party membership registration.

So the fact that a name is still on the party register doesn't imply that they are still members.

I insist that the method of quitting a party in Nigeria has always been by word of mouth.
And a declaration on the floor of the house of parliament.

Amaechi, Atiku, Saraki, Kwonkwoso did not return to their wards or write resignation letters when the stormed out of the PDP convention in 2014.
Have you ever seen a resignation letter online?

The judgment has always been clear. The Supreme Court has resolved all the legal issues related to this matter. Any other so-called matter pending anywhere ought to be struck out by any competent judge who knows anything. Everything has been resolved.

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.
If Fubara continues to listen to advisers like hon ugochinyere from imo State, walahi those 27 lawmakers have what it takes to throw him under the bus and 10,000 of hon ugochinyere would just be watching from a far.
