Re: Abaribe’s ADC Defection Sparks Constitutional Debate by Kalulu44:
All the APC data boys giving excuses for others defectting to APC that their former party was not in order. I want to ask, was NNPP in Kano state in disarray before their governor and lawmakers defected?

So what was the division in Kano NNPP before Gov Abba moved
Governors are not barred by the constitution to defect. Again, there is crisis in nnpp

Wait oh!
Then what about other elected senators, governors and Reps members who have been defecting from their actual political parties to the APC without the issues of losing their seats?

"Whatever" the APC is afraid of, will surely "bite" them in 2027.

Amen!
Majority of people that defected to APC are pdp members. As we can see , pdp have two faction. Wike and Makinde.

There is a need for a judicial pronouncement on Abaribe’s unique situation. The matter should be taken to court and APGA leadership should be invited to testify if they’ve truly expelled Abaribe from the party. And if the expulsion is confirmed, the court should decide if that’s enough ground to support defection.

Governors can defect without consequences. The losing of seats after defection only applies to lawmakers. Go and read the constitution and stop embarrassing yourself with all these ignorant comments.

If he had decamped to APC, would Akpabio and his other colleagues called for such?

Since they're the ones creating division in the opposition parties they in the best position to know which party or parties are in crises or otherwise.
The Devil is wise too.

If not that most Nigerians are hypocrites and doubled faced people in Nigeria, this wouldn't be an issue. Many law makers defected from one political party to the other without any crisis in their former party and these same rogues accepted them without citing any stupid provision in the Constitution. But because the APC as a party is bent on destroying this country, they are doing everything to destroy the genuine opposition political parties.
But they forget that what goes around, comes around. Nothing is permanent in this world.
Please can you sight at least 2 reference, just to backup your stand

Please suspension of a member or members does not equate to having a faction. Suspension of a member is a disciplinary action. SDP had no crisis as at when the senator left the party.
You mean to say,the suspended chairman just folded his arms and went home without contesting it..... isn't it suspension that's causing the issues pdp is currently having.

Read to understand,you had better go back to school to learn comprehension.......is there factionalisation in apga to warrant abaribe decamping,he even further implicated himself for saying he had been suspended by the party since last year,that alone is enough reason to make him loose his seat immediately. That means he had been partyless since last year which automatically disqualifies him as a senator......I expect apga to do the needful by calling for his recall.
There is. APGA has said they want to make Tinubu and APC presidential candidate there candidate. Not everyone is pleased with that

Did constitution say, it's senate President that will sanction in case of anomalies? Is Akpabio from Abaribe's constituency or member of APGA? Does he has locus standi on the matter?
Oga the national assembly are working under constitutions . Read well they even said if there is a need to approach court of law . Pls read and comprehend .

adekolaelect:
Read well before comment. The constitution said " there must be divisions or conflict unresolved in your party before you can move to other political party"
Was there a crisis in the NNPP that made some senators, House of Representatives members, and the Kano State governor to defect to the APC?
Re: Abaribe’s ADC Defection Sparks Constitutional Debate by adekolaelect(m): 9:05am On Mar 13
Cj4charles:
So many house members defected from LP to APC immediately after the election before LP started having issues, what then will you say to them
Can you give an example of your claims ? Bcs the labour party issues started imiatly after 2023 election

Re: Abaribe’s ADC Defection Sparks Constitutional Debate by manduwem(m): 9:09am On Mar 13
Hmmmm the lacuna of the unforeseen is what is playing out, but i think the courts should be the one to settle it since the explusion aspect wasn't captured in the constitution (yes many may interpret that since the constitution says you are not eligible if you dont have a party...that it also means if you got elected and become party-less you're disqualified. i think this is where the courts come in as the valid interpreters of the law -my opinion entirely).

On a lighter note,
​Senator Karimi Sunday (Kogi West) – (Formerly APC) also defected and his letter was read alongside all others. Is there division in the APC?

I just wonder why you people like building castles in The Air. If you like shout amen 20 times, the reality remains that the ruling party is winning and that cannot change even in 2027.

Stop using your mind to make comments. The Senate stoped him from defecting to APC BCS they claimed he doesn't have justification for that. If they take him without verification you same person will still crying of one party . Why are they all rushing to the APC ? These senator challenged his movement to the APC you are still here saying APC one party palaver.

When late Infeanyi UBA of YPP defected to APC, why didn't they raise all these constitution queries?
the question is theirs . Then one like you need to forward this to the national assembly for justifications.
Re: Abaribe’s ADC Defection Sparks Constitutional Debate by ufotunang: 10:05am On Mar 13
If it was APC he wanted to defect now.. akpabio will not bring out all this constitutional law..he would had kept quiet and welcome him to APC
