There is no logic here. the principal members of the house are chosen by all members. consider a situation where there are about 5 parties, will it be the duty of only one minority APC, to chose the minority leader?

Ekweremadu emerged the Deputy Speaker despite being in the opposition. that is the rule, APC should calm down after all the new minority leader did not reject the nomination.

minority and majority leader na party posts not house post, pdp cant nominate for other parties.
whatever rocks their boat, wetin concern me sef, their wahala

Dry. How can a party choose a leader for another party? It is turning logic on its head. When things degenerate, it is the state that suffers.

ISN'T D WINNER FROM APC?. I DON'T GET ALL DIS NOISE MAKING. IS NOT AS IF A PDP MEMBER WON D POSITION. IT'S STILL AN APC MEMBER. OR R DEY TELLING US D MAN IS NO MORE AN APC MEMBER?.

Stop being unintelligent

The minority leader is the leader of a collection of minorities

Use your brain?! How can a 'non-minority' choose the leader of the minorities?

Is that not what the igbos in Ondo were protesting an alleged plot by one ondo monarch to 'install' a new leader(i dont remember the title) of the igbo community there

Stop thinking like a 6 year old, every action sets either a precedence or a sequel, e favour you or pdp or anyother individual /group today...no mean say e go favour them tomorrow.

It still does not mean. Ok, what you are telling me for example is that say at the Federal Level, the leadership of the senate can just decide to nominate any PDP member of their choice and insist he must be the PDP minority leader. Does it sound reasonable??

Also going to the state level, for example Lagos, I think PDP members of the Lagos Assembly should also be less than 10. Do you think it is right, for the APC leadership to just select one person among the PDP members and then insist the person must be the minority leader irrespective of the opinion of the PDP members themselves. Irrespective that the PDP caucus has already signified their intention to nominate another person as their leader. Is it right for the majority APC to insist they must be the one to choose a Leader for the PDP?

agabusta:


And you are still turning logic on its head. Why not tell me where in the entire country that this has happened before now, that it is an opposing party that chooses a leader for the other party just because they are in majority?? It is only in Rivers such desperate and uncouth politics always raises its ugly head.

By your argument, you are already setting a dangerous precedence which will be used to distort democracy at the different parliaments. The position of Majority Leader and Minority Leader are the prerogatives for the caucus they are to lead.

If this is made to stand, it will usher in a different regime, where the majority party in any parliament (either at state or federal level) chooses whoever they want as the minority Leader of the opposition party.

the questions iam asking myself are these: 1. Is the minority leader chosen by nomination or by election? 2. If it is by election are the pdp members allowed to vote? If the second answer is yes then nothing illegal has been done. However the onus lies on the elected minority leader to step down for the preferred candidate of his party caucus. That's if he claims to be a loyal APC member.

SINCE D MAN IN QUESTION IS AN APC MEMBER, LET D PARTY DISCIPLE HIM. IF A PDP MEMBER DOES ANTI PARTY ACTIVITIES ITS LEFT 4 D PDP 2 TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION ON DAT MEMBER. I GET WAT UR SAYING, BUT INSTEAD OF BLAMING PDP, MAYBE DEY SHOULD FIND OUT Y A MEMBER OF DER PARTY DECIDED 2 GO AGAINST PARTY RULES. MIND U, AM NOT SUPPORTING EITHER PARTY.

By the end of this year the House of Representatives would take over the functions of Rivers State House of Assembly coz of WikeD and his foolishness.
How can the PDP caucus choose a leader of the APC caucus?
If APC adopts the kind of strategy used in Rivers State at the National level all these people supporting WikeD will be the first set of people to cry foul..

you are crying already, sorry sha, take heart.
you see we in the PDP believes in equity ur choice of minority leader did not go with equity that's why we chose in other to balance it

RZArecta:
APC can lament like cry babies sha, must every rule be broken and twisted just to make them happy ?

Use your brain, Why is it PDP that will choose minority leader for APC? Normally APC will choose who will be the minority leader and present that person to the House..

Guy forget that thing. The man they claimed they imposed on them, isn't the person an apc lawmaker?? They should know they are opposition, and anybody the PDP supports will always win cos PDP have the majority. it's not like they imposed a PDP member on them, so Why are they always crying like little babies?

I just tire on how your people that know nothing about politics or constitution reason, Minority leader in a House is choose by the Minorities..

If you read the news you will see that the person in question what nominated by a PDP member maybe you need to go back and read it..


I can't wait to see that mace been use on someone again and that House closed down..

who will close the house?

Ogeh said that the House relied on the Order Paper to take its decisions.

He said, “No trouble is brewing anywhere. Our rules are very clear on this.

“The rule does not say the House should abide by the position of any party. What the rule says is that the process of bringing in the Minority Leader must be through election by all members of the House.

“The rule did not say that members of the other party should not take part in the election. They know the rules but they are just trying to twist it

is this man sying the truth?

Who close it the last time? hahaha most of your just comment without know implication of things, Well you need to go back to your history book..

True talk hardywaltz, imagine APC played the same game against the nomination of Godswill Apabio as the minority leader in the senate or Leo Ogor in the House of Reps. That is negative politicking which is designed to cause disagreement among allies, we don't need it. PDP was given a free hand to run the affairs of this country for 16 years without the interferance of other group or groups. PDP failed us for 16 years APC is toeing the same line, lets give them the chance either to succeed or to fail so by 2019 Nigerians will have a clearer picture of either to vote or not to vote at all or who to believe.

When apc told ekweremadu to defect to their party or face removal I guess u were masturbating over it.

PDP picked their minority leaders at the National Assembly level without interference and same thing happened in Lagos.

That's what it's wooing and it happen in Politics, But for Majority to impose who will lead the Majority is unconstitutional..

Pdp's foolishness is increasing.in every clime,the legislative leader and the deputy are voted by all nembers.but when it comes to majority,minority leaders,chief or minority whip,it is the prerogative of the majority or minority leader.it is not the business of the other party.it is exclusively the biz of apc to choose their own minority leader,e no concern pdp.thats y pdp is worse than apc and can never sight federal power again.
