SmartyPants:
Comments like these stem from ignorance on what it means to declare a State of emergency. By default, the declaration of a state of emergency is the suspension of the Constitutional order in the affected place. It brings the state directly under the control of the president. In effect, it is a civilian version of military rule.
If you suspend the constitution, is it not the same constitution that the new administrator will follow? Tinubu suspended Fubara, and appointed some other guy, but that other guy must still follow the constitution, meaning the constitution was not suspended

And there’s no law that stops the president from suspending a Governor. The president has the sole discretion to suspend or otherwise under state of emergency. As for Falz and the nonsense he wrote up there, two pipeline bombings is already an act of economic ‘war’.
There is no war or break down of law and order. under buhari we saw worse than this and nobody declared state of emergency.

Do u know how many pipelines were destroyed in buhari's 1st term? Do u know how many militant groups came up with various demands until Osinbajo u all call judas resolved it?

tinubu should stop this nonsense.

Some raggamuffins will come to Nairaland to back up this planned eyesore.

On a sincere note, it is all political. They understand well it will be difficult to impeach him because the chief justice has to sign and it was proving difficult..

Let's see what comes up after 6 month though that is if it is not extended with another 6 month lolz.
Nigeria now understand the game plan. Either way, if Fabura finally gets to win, Like should just forget relevancy forever.

Rotimi didn't even demand quarter of what is going on.

Falz must be stupid!

He should go and tell that to Obasanjo and GEJ that did the same, anyway he is pressing the mumu button of ibos.

Tinubu doesn't have the liver to suspend Fubara, he is a coward..... Bla bla. Tinubu has done just that, so militant you guys too should do your worst.

Lawyers and their regular tricks to deceive their clients and amass wealth for themselves. Always encouraging failures to proceed to court when they already know you will loose.

Falz cannot tell me that he has suddenly developed legal amnesia because his snapshots already justifies the presidents position on the declaration of a state of emergency in rivers state.

Check my post 2 days ago, I said "a state of emergency" was the way forward. There is an occurrence and imminent danger in the state of the federation as pipelines are already being bombarded and threats flying left, right and center.

There is a breakdown of public order that poses a threat to public safety in rivers state and requires extraordinary measures to curtail an implosion and restore peace and security. The president met with the warring parties, they had an agreement but after they left the Vila, they continued fighting.

The president also received a request to impose a state of emergency from the legally recognised judicial arm of government in Rivers State and the Federal Executive Council.

FALZ, THERE IS A LAW THAT JUSTIFIES THE IMPOSITION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY AS PRESIDENT TINUBU HAS DONE.

The FALANA'S should stop misinterpreting the law.
Could you, please, point me to the law that empowers a president in the FGN to suspend an elected governor?

That's why I said suspension of the Constitutional order and not suspension of the constitution.

What that means is simply, the Constitution as it applies to the existence of the Rivers state government does not apply. Thus, the idea that the president needs special powers to suspend the governor is misguided.

He can rule by decree when a state of emergency is declared. However, such decrees must still comply with other fundamental constitutional provisions.

gidgiddy:
In other words, the President suspended a democratically elected Governor, not because he has any constitutional powers to do so, but because there is no law preventing him from doing so?

Think of it this way. If there was no law on state emergency, would Tinubu have the right to declare state of emergency because there's no law preventing him from declaring one?
The answer to that question is actually, a resounding yes. You people seem to be confusing morality with legality. It may not be morally right, but as there's no law that stops it, then it is not legally wrong. And whatever is not legally wrong is legally right. Even the bible in 1 John 3: 4 defines sin as a transgression of the law. Therefore where there's no law, there's no sin.

If God keeps us all alive, we will remind you of this quote the day Tinubus traducers in the future, will use this same nebulous arguments to hyjack Lagos state from his grip. Remember this! Because we know you guys very well. You guys will go to Ojota to make noise and burn tires as usual afterwards, but no one will listen because you suppored the same acts elsewhere..

There is provisions for state of emergency enshrined in section 305 of our constitution.
But the president does not have the power to collapse the entire democratic structure of the state.
What happened in Rivers State is a coup.
You cannot stop the function of the house of assembly.
When Goodluck Jonathan declared state of emergency in some northern states, the governor's were not removed.

You are a supposedly lawyer and you are suppose to be in the know.

Falz should read section "d" of the section he quoted.
