Re: House Of Reps Approves Tinubu's Emergency Rule In Rivers State by jchioma:
That is, ALL the senators and HoR members who are out of the country flown in today from their various trips and pilgrimage to seat and vote on it with the possibility that opposition members also voted in support of the motion since APC alone cannot form the required Quorum to make the SoE declaration stand. We dey watch in 5D screen.


Xisnin:
Don't misunderstand the law.
A quorom is just one-third of members.
APC definitely have more than 30% members in the assembly.
And as for the two-thirds, it is the two-thirds of those present not the total members.
Section 305 (6) stipulates that a “proclamation issued by the President under this section shall cease to have effect (b) if it affects the Federation or any part thereof and within two days when the National Assembly is in session, or within ten days when the National Assembly is not in session, after its publication, there is no resolution supported by two-thirds majority of ALL the members of each House of the National Assembly approving the proclamation.”

Most of you commenting dont have sense,so the govt. should wait till there is chaos and killings before declaring it.
F&ck u, herdsmen have been killing people in Benue, more tha 500 killed so far and he didnt declare state of emmergence, it is in Rivers that no single person was killed, u dey talk of state of emmergency. Omo, u dey meant!
In the north, many states local govt are under the control of Boko Haram and herdsmen, he needs that state of emergency there.

A member asked for head count of those seated to confirm if they meet 2/3rd attendance as stipulated by the constitution, the speaker said they will use attendance register.

Amen.

God these are the sets of people that will tell you the western world policies are not good for us ! Can you look at how they can’t emulate the western world ways to do things right !
They constantly violate the constitution for us to know we can’t do anything wow !
What “western world”?

Talking stupid rubbish like a little kid that’s watched too much Netflix and CNN.

Face your lane and build your own society. Leave “western world” out of your head.

coolSeems it's just a formality to converge.. Anything from the Presidency is always an automatic rubberstamp.
The Nigerian and USA president are too powerful for a democratic system.

The constitution gives them so much power.

Voice vote? This is patently illegal!! The constitution spells out 2/3! How can you confirm 2/3 by voice vote? Voice vote can only work for simple majority!!

Nigerian democracy is a joke
Cry us a river. ENKR grin

The way it's going, Tinubu doesn't appear like someone who will relinquish power when defeated at the polls in 2027.

The opposition parties and candidates should have this in their 2027 plans.

After this whole Rivers state issue, Tinubu will come out even stronger and fearsome by the opposition.

The opposition is jittery already.
