What most of you don't know is that, the NA will definitely support the move, not because of money as most of you will term it, but because of the arrant nonsense that Fubara did to their colleagues in the lower house House of Assembly. It's total abuse of the executive power for a governor to demolish another arms of government property without informing them earlier.

alsudan:
Speaker Abbass knows there's no way on earth he gets the required 2/3

To save face and remain in the good books of druggie, carries out an unconstitutional voice vote. How did they get 2/3 with the yehs and nays?

More like throwing the SHITBAG back to Balablue and the Judiciary >

Britishpea:
What you know is different from what they know...All you know is to wail, cry, shout, whine, make noise, type endlessly on social media and rant like a baby whose food was stolen and complain like one hungry poor soul...
At lease you people should always leave a space for when you will one day become a leader by not just complaining about everything...

Hey nitwit.. dont bother reply because i wont read from a dumb noise maker

Agbegbaorogboye:
Chai!!

These people have collected agbado again

What is now the use of all these opposition members in the House if a few grains of corn is all that is required to turn them over

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

Enskynelson:
What some of us don't know is that, you cannot continue to be lawless and expect growth. People are watching the lawlessness and injustice happening and they learning from it. The lawlessness will be one of the reason the economic growth you are expecting, you won't see.

wax101:

This only happens in a country where a criminal drug cartel man becomes the president.

Naija don cast.

DeOTR:
The only sensible comment so far. I wonder how someone who demolished a state's house of parliament hopes to get fair hearing in the National assembly. That singular act is his greatest undoing. That man is as good as "finished politically".

MILITARY ARE BETTER THAN WAT U HAVE NOW.,


THESE SET OF INDIVIDUAL CRIMINALS NEED TO BE CAUGHT AND DEALT WITH.

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.

seunmsg:
Instead of crying and gnashing your teeth in pain, go to court and seek judicial review of the decision of the House of Representatives.

Armaggedon:
Unconstitutional!

anonimi:
How is our democracy a joke when your own senator and representative didn’t tell you that

TruthDefender:
Voice vote does not suffice in fulfilling the constitutional requirement for 2/3rds of HoR

The courts should strike it down, if they haven't been bought over

Counterigbolies:
Daniel kanu is Igbo now, Igbos have led fubara to the dungeon again

Smartcitizen:
Yes just like Eze ( King) Wike is Igbo.

It's only an Igbo man that will change his identity to get what he wants, so don't be deceived by Wike.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

koning:
Voice vote like primary school pupils which they are.

All those in favour, say yes and raise your hand. Utterly ridiculous for such a serious issue.

Constitutional lawyers over to you. Is that legal?.

kayevans:
Did they also approve the suspension of the elected officials and installation of a SA?

These are 2 different things as far as the law is concerned. Yes, he has the power to declare SOE (wether the current situation warrants it or not is a different debate). The HOR has approved it, fine.

DID THEY ALSO APPROVE THE IMPOSITION OF A SOLE ADMINISTRATOR AND SUSPENSION OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS?

You cannot muddle both together and make a vote.

Meanwhile the okpolo eye president has already "sworn in" the SA even without the approval of NASS with regards to the SOE.

The constitution has been shattered.

Truths9ja:
yes. Very bad

johnaruson:
I didn't see where the assembly approved the lawless Tinubu's emergency rull in Rivers State

Jorussia:
I watched it a while ago,I knew it was abracadabra that was needed to get this thing through.My own concern is the economy of this country.If this state of emergency can bring increase in crude oil production,it would be good for everybody.
