Samething applied to governor suspended by the president. It's only state of Assembly that can remove the sitting governor not president

nigeria, theatre of the absurd.

An illiterate governor orders elected assembly men to go against the constitution, and they obey.

some unfortunate souls even clap hands and support .

na wa

bazoodo:
Did the agf advise the president when he suspended the rivers governor??

actually, the president has the power to declare a state of emergency in any part of the country.

Is declaring state of emergency the same as suspending democratically elected officials?

does the president have the power to suspend the governor of a state?,,,,,You couldnt alter a word when he did it in Rivers ... Abeg comot for road

RoyalUc:

declaring a state of emergency means taking over the structure of governance in a state, so yes the governor according to the constitution will have to be suspended.

The AGF cannot advise the President against the ruling of the Supreme Court. The governor acted unlawfully, so he was removed. I thought you all would bring the country down, so na only mouth for social media una get

Mtchwwww!

Ofunaofu:
This charge-and-bail lawyer, AGF, should rather take this advice to Tinubu, who unlawfully suspended the entire democratic institutions in Rivers State, removing the democratically elected governor and members of the House of Assembly under the guise of a state of emergency.

Shey una get lawyer for una village?

Is it because the governor is an APC member? Withhold the federal allocation to Edo State. So irritating.

Omozeez1:
[Oga this case is different. President has power to do so if there is insurgency in that state.quote author=bazoodo post=136620656]Did the agf advise the president when he suspended the rivers governor??

Is there insurgency in my state? Which powers are you talking about? Even when there is insurgency you can declare state of emergency but keep democratic institutions working. It happened in bornu state during good luck

But BAT can remove an elected governor of a state within 48 hrs

Following Tinubus footsteps.
Hope this democracy go remain small before this man leaves office

Your boss Tinubu did it in Rivers state, you didn't kick against it. Now a governor is doing the same thing You have no right to oppose the governor if you didn't oppose Tinubu. If Tinubu could do it, then a governor can also do it. What goes around comes around.

But the president has the right to suspend a sitting governor? You can't eat your cake and have it. If the president can suspend a sitting governor and declare a state of emergency, the a governor can suspend local government chairmen, since we all want to be mad.

All these charge and bail Lawyers and Governor D7 in this country.

He couldn't advised the President when he declare SOE in Rivers State.

Yeye people everywhere.

First take that advice to your Principal who suspended an elected Governor in Rivers.

Tilumbu enthroned lawlessness in every part of Nigeria.

Nigeria na Lagos now

Fabgemi should shut up... where was he when Tinubu suspended a whole executive governor? Are we really practicing democracy in Nigeria? The US that we claimed to copy their constitution from are not behaving like Nigeria.

babane2016:
This country ehn. The Governor has no power to suspend local government chairman but the president has power to suspend a governor and Senate president or bunch of senators has power to suspend a senator.
God help us.

Many Nigerians need to wake up. We can't have this your mentality and expect good governance . I don't know your age but I want you to recall the performance and activities of local government when they were not in captives of state Governors and now? Local government need to be freed from Governors for poeple to have reasonable access to the governments. I don't say Tinubu or AGF bad or good .they can't be there forever but it is bad to allow Governors to suppress local government forever.

If the president did his own in Rivers, Ekpebolo will want to do same.

This is Deep ooooooooo mucheche Hahaha 😂

But did you seize Edo State local government allocations like what you are doing in Osun State despite the fact that the appeal Court had already sacked APC yes/no chairmen and councillors?

ernieboy:

But deep down in your heart you know the truth.


But continue lying to yourself sha...

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
I don't understand how governors take decisions and lawyers eventually come out to tell them its unlawful.

What exactly is the function of all the advisers, special advisers, senior special advisers and what-have-you that surround them as aides?

What exactly is the job description of government house advisers bikonunu?

They occupy offices and given portfolios doesn't mean their services are needed.

So how will PBAT keep democratic institutions working in Rivers State when the Rivers State governor and State Assembly are fighting?


Please take sentiments, emotions and party followership aside and respond.
Thanks.

Are you referring to the State Assembly that the State governor refused to recognize or the one that their building was bombed by yet unidentified persons that will suspend the governor?


Or probably those three members who were holding meeting in the governor's quarters?

whatever it is, the best is to go back to court. The president shouldn't have done what he did and refused to correct himself. That singular thing he did will speak against his administration even if he performed excellently well

Which court are you referring to?
The one that has pronounced judgement that the State governor did not accept and recognize or the one the governor was waiting for CTC of the judgment through his lawyers or counsels?

Fighting? You don't have to use words that doesn't correlate the exact things on ground, they were having political impasse and that happens all the time. During Obj his National Assembly wasn't with him on different issues, Buhari also had issues with the national Assembly, they do all the time it doesn't warrant state of emergency rule..the law doesn't even give credence to this scenario
