In a country where election results are written in the confines of an individual's house this people want one INEC to believe that the signatures of the voters will not be forged and they will just gather people around and tell us that they have signed.....

Rubbish is what they are try to actualize.
It isn’t done that way! A date will be fixed and it will be announced in the old and new media outlets. Just like the voter register will be used for the signatures paper. The card reader will be subjected to be used to read those voters card. If it isn’t done rightfully it will be a wasted exercise

not possible, the process is too long.

you have to first Submit of a petition to the Chairman of INEC, signed by more than 50% of the Registered Voters in the constituency, followed by a verification; and then a referendum.

it's not easy to assemble a group of more than 50% of voters registered to vote in that member’s constituency, some are dead, some relocate, some will support the man they want to recall
Are you not seeing A.adi in the name of the lawyer.

Imagine an ibo man who calls himself a lawyer yet he doesn't know the processes involved in recall of a lawmaker.

Indeed Ipob are dumb and daft.

This is another blunder by Fubara.
In this present situation, impeaching Fubara will be faster than recalling the speaker.
What is needed for impeachment is just the Chief Judge of the state to set up a panel to investigate the allegations against the Gov. And with the Supreme court Judgement confirming the speaker as the authentic speaker, criticizing the Gov for spending without appropriation and also demolishing the House of Assembly, there is barely nothing to investigate again. Also, note that the chief Judge is answerable to NJC and not directly to the Gov.
Recalling the Speaker is going to be a tall order if not impossible, you need 50% of total registered voters in that constituent to sign the petition (registered voters and not the people that voted in that Election).
After the petition, INEC needs to verify the authenticity of the signatures(INEC, not Rivers state Electoral commission).
After verification, INEC will now give a go ahead if the conditions precedent are met.
Now tell me how possible will it be for you to meet this condition?

Recall the case of Dino Melaye and the once powerful white lion, even with the Federal might, the recall process failed woefully, because the 50% requirement was not met, infact, they couldn't get up to 20% verfied signatures when INEC checked.
And this was a case of APC gov with APC Fed govt against a PDP senator.

Nobody will sponsor it honestly!
The recall process was done to Dono Malaya and it failed woefully! INEC hasn’t gotten the fund to conduct vacant seats in the house of parliament both in federal and state level. The lawyer wasted his ink and paper to write rubbish!

Because the governor wants it that way.

Conflict merchants are cashing out and everyone seems desperate to have a cut

Let the governor rein in his dogs and rhings will come back to normal.

This is a senseless move!
If Gov Fubara is toeing this part it means he is not wise at all!
Why?
Because the Amaewhule’s fraction still constitute the majority, he cannot recall 27 lawmakers!
If he tries it he will be impeached faster!
Why ?
The process of imprechment is faster!
@the bolded.
Not when the state Chief Judge is siding with the governor.

He has been fighting all along. He didn't manage the State Assembly well. Fubara could win war against Wike but, can't win war against State Assembly. They all won on a single ballot. And the worse of all, he need them as they need him too.

Fabara is as guilty as Wike if not worse. In the history of this country, not even a President could remove a whole 90% of lawmakers from either Chambers.

Fubara and Wike are both selfishly fighting for Supremacy over the interest of the State they claim they love.

Nigeria politicians are the same everywhere. No single one is worth my support.
You are very wise, kudos

impeaching a governor is even harder. No governor has been impeached in Nigeria without being returned by the court. My problem is that fubara is too weak and incompetent to mobilize necessary forces and resources to take full charge. With the resources and sympathy at his disposal, it's shameful he has failed to use them
Fayose was impeached and never returned by the court.

Alamayesigha of Bayelsa state though lares, was ompeached and never returned by court.

Admiral Nyako in Adamawa state was impeached and never returned by court

Get your facts right no be to dey write rubbish here.

Fubara will be impeached and no court will return him

This move will only the governor's impeacement be as fast as aircraft compare to truck on the road. Those who bent on advising governor to spend on this unachievable move are in his staunch enemies.
I fear Ikwerre people. Once you offend any of their sons or daughters, they will never forgive you, until you're thought a lesson you will never forget in your life. I pity Fubara

Oga Governor in waiting tell us the necessary "resources" you will mobilise to take full charge so as not to appear weak like Fubara?

U people think Fubara has not sat and weighed his options and you think he has not come to the point where he realises he's running thin of cards to play!

Oya over to you, tell us what you will do differently!

Tinubu's 2027 reelection desire is behind the fracas in Rivers state.
Anyway to get Amaewhule out of Rivers parliament is welcome.
Wike's group are bent on coercing Rivers people to APC. APC will halt development in Rivers state.

Including Fubara right?
He's the governor and untouchable. The state pdp is solidly behind him as you can see. They appreciated his loyalty for not throwing their efforts into the wind by bowing to wike's pressure to defect to the apc who didn't give him a single vote to become governor. I hope the law makers will eat their humble pie and call it quits with wike whose political career has ended in rivers, for the sake of their political future cos some of them are still very young and can become governor in future.

The moment amaechi joined apc, his career ended in rivers till tomorrow. Wike's will end that way too. Rivers is unapologetically pdp. The earlier you guys know this, the better. See the LG election conducted by fubara for instance, which he adopted another party for all the contestants. Do you think its not in agreement with the pdp in the state? It was a move to burst wike's plans to stop them. The adopted party even won in wike's LGA.

If care isn't taken, the law makers will soon regret being pushed by wike who is no more in power. Their political future matters. By the time the mega party is formed by the pdp, Labour and aggrieved party members of the apc, pdp will become useless and we shall see where the law makers and wike will stand. It's never too late for them to be humble.

Fubara will be impeached and no court will return him
On April 14, 2015 ,the Supreme Court upheld the judgement of the Court of Appeal which had earlier affirmed Governor Fayose’s victory. The apex court also said that Fayose was not validly impeached.


The Court of Appeal reversed the Impeachment of Governor Nyako citing that there was lack of fair hearing. The Impeachment was therefore declared null and void.

What I'm saying is that the court ruling never returned them to office but rather remain an Ex Governor.

Fayose didn't return but reconnected again for his 2nd Term


Nyako didn't return to office but remain an Ex Governor

Same faith awaits Fubara

you idi*ts will rather focus on senseless fights than quoting someone reasonably Both murtala Nyako and fayose's impeachment were nullified by the supreme court. It was already overtaken by event as at the time hence they were not returned. Alamiesigha didn't challenge his own in court. Impeachment process is so politically tensed that it hardly passes legal scrutiny.
