only "tear gassed"? What kind of useless "troops" do we have in this country these days? Shoot the asewo!

Drahmah:
I'm not in support of the use of force to dethrone any government, but I wanna correct your impression on mimiko's case.

Mimiko was ELECTED by the PEOPLE of ondo state so he has every right to remain in power even after defecting from the LP. His mandate was given to him by the PEOPLE OF ONDO, not the PDP.

In Tambuwal's case, he was elected speaker by the majority party, the PDP . He got his mandate from the PDP so I think he automatically loses his speakership by reason of his defection to the APC.

If you know your constitution, then you also know that the office of the Governor is covered by great immunity. When the constitution says whatever member of the national assembly that defects from his original party on whose platform he was elected into office, it doesn't say the same for the office of the Governor.

I hope that was clear enough

Cubeet2:
What are you insinuating?
Does Lagos have any resources? Lagos is only booming cos its a business/commercial centre.
Answer me and dont lie, which tribe is holding the pillars of business in Lagos?

ASL33:
Why did you just mention only Mimiko b4?

ASL33:
Anyway I think different rule applies to house members. Remember the first set that decamped, their case is still in court.

FOOL ODE NI BOBO YI
I'M NOT LIVING IN POVERTY STRICKEN OSUN, OYO, ONDO, EKITI AND OGUN

LAGOS IS A NO MAN LAND.

But this issue is very simple. Ask yourself whether it was possible for the house members to elect the speaker from the minority? Is it possible? Would all the members accept that? Would you, assuming you a majority member in the house and considering the fact that majority wins the race in democracy. Na simple thing.

hugoart:
No wonder you're ignorant of even the simplest of things.
IGNORANT SIMPLETON.

And there should be a law that makes it a crime.

jamesandrew:




I keep seeing this comparison with Mimiko. Get this straight: Mimiko is a governor and Tambuwal is a member of the House of Reps, these are different positions! The Constitution provides specifically that a member of the House of Reps loses his seat if he becomes a member of another political party. (Section 68(g) of the 1999 Constitution).This section is crystal clear. Stop calling Mimiko who is a governor. The section does not apply to governors!

Go back to the hole you came out from.

Pennyways:
section 68 of the nigerian constitution, state that a member of the senate or of the house of representative shall vacate his seat in the house of which he is a member, "g" if being a person whose election to the house was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that house was elected.

there you can see clearly that your Tambuwal don't have right to attain a meeting or any sitting, except being invited as a guest. he lost his seat right from the day he decamped.

hazyfm:



I SAID IT!!

I KNEW U WERE MAD, BUT I JUST COULD'NT LAY MY HANDS ON ANY PROOF ..

[size=28pt]THANKS FOR PROVING IT TODAY THAT YOU ARE HIGHLY INSANE[/size]

hugoart:
The Honourable Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is presently presiding inside the house.

The clueless slowpoke Jonathan failed again as usual.

Tambuwal has proven to be a hero.
He was taken into the HoR by other members-PDP and APC, David Mark walked with him into the house in Solidarity.




Jonathan must lose in 2015 oooooo.NO OTHER WAY.Even if heaven falls when he loses,it will fall on him too.

Demdem:


Fool, are u denying the updates on this thread?
Tambuwal remains ur speaker.
Bow fool.

smileandlove:
what did the law say about the election of a speaker?QED. hope you won't take this ignorace outside this place? Smh for you.

1wolex85:

you dont know what you are talking about. When you vote in agovernorship election, do you see the candidate's name or the party name? In a governorship election, you are voting for party, same goes for all general elections. For 'speakership', every individual stands on his own, there is no party representation here, that is why tambuwal was able to win majorly with the support of apc hor members. I'll advise you stick to what you know.

Guy you are as daft as de madmen parading the streets of Yaba everyday. We are quite aware of the position of the constitution on a defected speaker of the HOR. The issue now is, hav the members of the HOR impeached the speaker? the answer is a big NO. Again, has the Speaker resigned his position as Speaker of the HOR? the answer is obviously NO. So as it stands now, Mr Tambuwa still remains the speaker of the HOR.until he is formally impeached perhaps based on the position of de constitution or rendering a resignation letter de house okay. Btw* Tambuwa knew the implication of his defection, thats de reason he suspended sections of rep members till December ok.

MissMeiya:
Where is this country heading? And my uncle said I should come to Abuja for Christmas. Ha! Who wan die.

DonKool1:


You are getting there. by 'there' i mean trying to be logical.
Now let's add a little honesty. there is an exemption to clause 'g' you quoted which states clearly the conditions/provisos under which section 'g' would not be applicable.
There are no half-truths my brother, only truths or lies.

chukwudi44:


That is the best way to go!! he has been treating these fools with kid gloves which had emboldened them

leviizu:
both are political offices and should have the same application, whether tambuwal was voted because he was from pdp or not is of no consequences...stop being sentimental

Demdem:


Even mark knows who the true speaker is and not some eediots talking nonsense here.
