I like it this way. Too much cross-carpeting kills the system

You're not supposed to be yapping anyhow here. Try to hide your face a little. All you guys supporting evil will one day meet your Waterloo.... Keep supporting evil.... You go ban nairaland members tire.

Lawyer nwan-Njoku, nobody was forced to sign. Moreover, NL is not a law court.

He knows very well the Agbado Strategy of planting people in partys so they can later defect or split the party.

Abeg I no wan Chop corn.

This Dickson mean business.

You can't do what you did to Labor party here.

Iron caged and lock for their aspirants.

Though I don't like the way our politicians are cross carpeting but this exercise is effort in futility.

interest days ahead for the agulu political olosho I guess they had gringory in mind when the framed the policy, knowing his political trajectory of hooping from one party to the other, he never builds but destroys let see how this will be binding on the members of the party without it have any constitutional backing…..Emperor Dickson is doing well

Verrrrrrrry goooooood!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
If you defect, your seat is VACANT.

APC MOLES will not be happy.😃

It is justiciable at the instance of the obligor. The agreement will be rendered unenforceable by the court at the appointed time. Which lawyer is advising the party?

This is a welcome ideal, I Hope it will be able to stand on a legal grounds. Hope the constitution will not override it in a court of law. This political prostitution must stop.

Up NDC!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is an intra-party affair. Bound by legal terms. No court of law can interfere.

You will loose your seat.

THEY MUST ADD THAT THE DECISION CANNOT BE CONTESTED IN ANY COURT OF LAW.🎉🎉🎉🎉

The same way u signed and accept terms and conditions when u borrow from a loan app, its valid in any court of law when any candidate signs the document.

spiSeyi:
It's called Contracts and as long as you sign it has a legal binding already which can be presented at the law court . I am sure that it's drafted by SAN bcs Dickson himself nah confirmed don

A contract written even by 10 SANs can be invalidated if it violates the constitution or any existing law.

If you sign a contract for the sale of cocaine, no matter how many stamps and signature you have on it, you may not enforce it because it violates the laws of the land.

So the question is, can a contract preventing one's freedom of association especially in the event of leadership crisis be enforced in the court of law?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Once it violates the constitution or the law of the land it is no longer internal affairs of a party, and can argued in court.

Yes, it's a good idea...so you can't defect after winning an election.

Very good move by NDC.. Enough of all this jumping from one party to another..

“It’s an NDC-backed innovation to stop decamping and political prostitution,” the party said. “Anyone who wants to leave, they are free to leave, but you will have to vacate the seat. And that is even what the Constitution says. So our position aligns with the Constitution.”

[quote author=ndudiogeleka post=139745292][/quote]Gone through your posts and it's clear you cannot respond to anyone with an opposing view without first insulting them.

Also mentioning me in a way that will confuse anyone trying to follow the discussion.

In your case, it's clear that you aren't okay.

The same nonsensical constitution APC toys with?😃 Now, you have constitution?

Now Abuja is state #37! Was that in the constitution?🙄

Because you want to infiltrate NDC.

The same way Wike used with the defected law-BREAKERS in Rivers State.


We go teach una lesson. Obi and NDC matters go give una sleeplessness walahi!😂
Una think say una wise? 😃

Go and check section 2722 of the 1999 constitution and come back here to say the same. Even ordinary house rent agreement carries legal weight not to talk of legal bindings among political elites. And moreover the 2026 electoral act amendment forbids INEC or even the courts to decide party internal affairs, you think day nah play play

Imagine how APC infiltrates are crying over this matter o.😃 Anyway, CRY HARDER! Political hook-ups must stop.

Someone is telling you a fact instead of you to dispute it with another fact you are here abusing, whose mind come shallow between the 2 of you? What you just did is what shallow minded, ignorant people do.



Thank you for your attention to this matter

They will never defect now,since agulu clown is winning presidential election..yeyenatu

manmade:
it can't stand the litmus test off law unless the constitution permits it, The Nigerian Constitution makes a distinction between legislators (members of the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly) and governors/deputy governors.
1. Members of the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly
The Constitution provides that a legislator who defects from the political party that sponsored his or her election may lose the seat.
For the National Assembly, see Section 68(1)(g) of the Constitution.
For the State House of Assembly, see Section 109(1)(g) of the Constitution.
These sections state that a member shall vacate his seat if he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of his term unless:
There is a division in the political party that sponsored him; or
There is a merger involving that political party.
The courts have repeatedly held that the division must be a genuine and substantial division within the party, not merely personal disagreements.
.

What if he decamps 1 month to election

What then

This rule is unenforceable

One can remain in a party and work for another(see wike and makinde in 2023)

2. Governors and Deputy Governors
The Constitution does not contain a similar provision requiring a governor or deputy governor to vacate office upon defection from the party that sponsored their election.
The Supreme Court has considered this issue and has generally held that a governor's mandate belongs to the electorate, and there is no constitutional provision automatically removing a governor for defecting to another party.
A governor can only leave office through constitutional means such as:
Expiration of tenure,
Resignation,
Death,
Impeachment under Section 188,
Permanent incapacity,
Or other grounds specifically provided by the Constitution.
