Mogidi:
Are you expecting the president to go in search of Shekau, why not criticise those whose job it is to find Shekau?

emmykk:
Hon.Aminu waziri Tambuwal is destorying his image little by little.by Dec 3 when the house resumed he will be dirt with now that IG has been remined that he goof.
He will be impeached and that his Governorship seat he is seeing we will not achieved.

The days of gentleness is over.

Donmarrius:
Hear/reread your comment again!
Are we running a pre-modern economy or modern economy?.
You can equally tell us to go back and dwell in caves or walk naked.

MudRaker:
Section 68(g) 1 is clear on this.

On mimiko and other governors including Amaechi and co, the constitution is silent about governors defecting.

The law only applies to legislators.

MudRaker:
Tambuwal disobeyed a court order which declared his sit vacant.

The police are enforcing trespassing and impersonation laws.

You TAN Brigade are something else, you twist and turn logic on its head better than a break dancer.

Which is expressing a greater level of irresponsibility, a national assembly prevented from carrying out their constitutional duty by the executive ( to debate whether the State of Emergency should be extended) or the executive that is using illegal means to obstruct the legislature?

Who locked the Gates and why? And Go home to where? if Tambuwal and co had gone home, the next you will be hearing from PDP/TAN is that Tambuwal has been impeached by 50 PDP house of reps members and so Tambuwal should go to court if he is aggrieved. That is exactly what PDP is doing in Ekiti, where opposition lawmakers were prevented from entering the legislative chambers but access was granted to 7 PDP to carry out the purported impeachment of the substantive speaker.

I agree with you that most politicians are completely useless with no positive intents for the populace that elected them, but that is not the subject of debate right now. The question is why is your anger fixated on only the opposition party and their members while you idolize the other useless party or set of politicians.

People are supporting Tambuwal here on Nairaland because the actions of the executive is a threat to our democracy and corporate existence of Nigeria. There are far pressing issues confronting the country than who is defecting where, and the president is misplacing his priorities.

teadrake:
Am just being precise regarding your wanting of evidence,scene manipulations is what our politicians know how to do best.my man,don't be looking for glared evidence

Mogidi:
Because he's no longer a member of the house, he should be arrested for impersonating being HOR member.

MudRaker:
Do your own research. I am not your paralegal assistant

What is the role of the Generals in the army if they have to wait for the president to lead them in manhunt?

Donmarrius:
Have sense for once!.Oduah's case was that she spent 'unappropriate' money,in the purchase of those official vehicles,and not money laundering.try and know the difference between the two,and of cause,she was relieved of her appointment to thata effect.you can go ahea and prosecute her.For Dezani,tender evidence of any money laundering against her,and she will equally go.Don't tell me abov sanusi's allegation,because that has been rectified by independent auditors,and no money is missing.

I still maintain my stance,the law is supreme,nobody is above it,not even Tambuwal.

Even bricklayers will quote and interpret the constitution in this Tambuwal matter. But when asked about Ekiti house of Assembly they will simply say they are bricklayers so they don't understand the constitution.

Section 68 subsection 1(g) says A member of the Senate or of the House of representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member 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;

Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored..

The Presidency and the police have resorted to self help as it is obvious they are supposed to go to court to compel the Speaker to vacate the seat and the house if he refuses to obey the shall vacate in the provision. Who told them the Speaker do not have a valid reason for jettisoning their party for the other? If the police suspect anyone of violating a provision of the law be it an armed robber they don't pass judgement but must take that suspected criminal to the courts who have the sole right to pronounce guilt. This is just Executive lawlessness and history will not forgive them for it.

If not for the innocent Christians in Borno and Adamawa, I will have been very glad for the north to get what they want. A brutal barbaric mediviel Arabic dictatorship.

Lurcky:
What Tambuwal did is purely undemocratic, what even makes it worst is the fact that he is the head/leader of the law makers, yet he broke the law and caused commotion. That's too bad of him, I always thought of him as a gentleman.

Damn!!!

Ugonna1505:
The question you asked have shown how sentimental you are. The President of the Senate, David Mark knows the law & can interpret the law more than you as well. He knows the case is before the court which is yet to pass judgement either for or against the Speaker. He is still the Speaker my friend. Don't ever be biased again

idumuose:
It is too late for APC to present a younger candidate.They have never believed in a younger candidate.Take a look at their national chairman John oyegun who is nearing 80years. Buhari is 73years,atiku is going to be 70years soon.All their Presidential
candidates except Buhari and Nda isaiah were members of PDP.
Kwankwaso - PDP

Atiku - PDP to ACN back to PDP and now APC

Okorocha - ANPP to PDP to APGA to APC

They are all bunch of clowns with nothing to offer except propaganda,lies and violence.Tell me a spectacular project that APC states have embarked on that PDP haven't done? How many people are running to APC states because they are running a better system? Nobody.

The constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria is clear. It stated that Tambuwal MUST GO.
68. (1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in
the House of which he is a member if -
(a) he becomes a member of another legislative house.
(b) any other circumstances arise that, if he were not a member of the Senate or the House
of Representatives, would cause him to be disqualified for election as a member;
(c) he ceases to be a citizen of Nigeria;
(d) he becomes President, Vice-President, Governor, Deputy Governor or a Minister of the
Government of the Federation or a Commissioner of the Government of a State or a Special
Adviser.
(e) save as otherwise prescribed by this Constitution, he becomes a member of a
commission or other body established by this Constitution or by any other law.
(f) without just cause he is absent from meetings of the House of which he is a member for
a period amounting in the aggregate to more than one-third of the total number of days
during which the House meets in any one year;
(g) 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;
Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in
the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more
political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored.

Nigerians were embarrassed and no body is talking. I think it is time that those who call themselves NLC, TUC, Student unions, Nigerians in Diaspora and other CIVIL SOCIETY Groups should arise and mobilize for a great protest against the abuse of office by the executive hand of government to protect our democracy. The same stupid act has been repeated in Rivers, Edo, Ekiti, Adamawa, Nassarawa, Taraba and now the Federal House of Representatives. The move is now going beyond the abusive of the legislature to physically assaulting the judiciary as was carried out in Ekiti. If we as a people refuse to call our politicians to order, they will ruin this country. I begin to even wonder if the Military should be called an Arm of government in African Countries to check the recklessness of the politicians. These acts alone are capable of generating more crises adding to the Boko Haram issue that is not yet solved.

How come we have a government who cant settle labor issues in the Health sector, Educational Sector and issues relating to pensioners but are quick to settle political differences with use of security personnel or the use of thugs.
