RockMaxi: I am not here for the blame game, but I need to tell myself the truth. Rushing to a ceasefire agreement was a bait and some of us outrightly condemned it.
Now we can all see the tactical error committed and where we find ourselves, becoming a refugee in your own country.
cease fire does not mean go eat amala and sleep. It only means no more aggressive patrolling to engage the enemy. You maintain defensive positions and high alert to eliminate any threats to your positions. Do you need anybody to tell you to defend your life and property?
The NA is turning to be a laughing stock. It is no longer the Army in left in 2006. i pity them when they clash with agbero in lagos.
The IGP responsibility is to provide security to the occupier of the seat (speaker in this case), the occupier of the seat is determined by HOA, until the seat is declared vacant by the HOA, the IGP has no constitutional right to assume the seat is vacant.
simple, clear and precise.
where did you see this requirement for a declaration by the HOA is our constitution? The subsection 68(2) only requires action from the speaker, (which is fulfilled by the speaker announcing his defection, - if we help you marry husband, na we go open yar legs for am?), nothing calls for a declaration by the HOA as an entity. Again which subsection calls for that?
The acting IGP deserves to be made a SAN, a professor of constitutional law of the National Open University and a supreme court justice all at once.
abes: The law is clear, the IGP has no constitutional right to declare who occupies a seat in the HOA. For as long as there's no pronouncement from the HOA that the seat is vacant, the IGP cannot act on hearsay.
That's the law, simple, clear and precise.
the acting IGP did not declare any seat vacant. Like every other Nigerian, he heard Mr. Tambuwal announce his defection in the hallowed chambers of the house. Like a good citizen who witnesses an infraction of the law, he has taken the best steps to protect the constitution and the public. Mr. Tambuwal announced his defection and made his seat vacant.
kettykin: I like this analysis but you failed woefully to factor in the ogundipe factor in your analysis , if Buhari dies in office, they office will remain vacant until the senate president takes over because there will not be much southern or christian support for the Vice who could be tinubu or fashola which would leave him with very little options than to go to london on self imposed exile leaving a vacuum of power which can only be filled by the third most powerful politician which is the senate president General of Nigeria which could be David Mark or some fellows from the south east or south south depending on the zoning of power
jweed is not good for your health. If the president dies, the vice president becomes the president. period. Like it happened between yardua and jonathan if the president is incapacitated, the voice becomes an acting president like it is playing out between Suntai and his deputy,
baccaspace: When you wish someone dead, he will end up witnessing your burial. Don't play God!
Cheers
bigot. you are the reason nigeria does not progress. learn to start planning for the future.
i bet i am a stronger gej supporter than you but i have contingency plans for his death from natural causes. even teenagers die from natural causes. as pretty as i am, i can die today.
Ebukaokeke5: Hon.Tambuwal,u must know this, ur people in ur constituency in Sokoto voted u in as a representative in the federal Legislation,the house members voted you in as speaker,PDP has no rite to make u resign.If the constitution can't,then the party won't.U r still the speaker of the federal house of representatives till the constitution proves otherwise.If u have the support of house members to be their speaker under APC as a party,then PDP is blurfing.stand firm in ur decision,stand firm with APC and the power of Yahweh and Nigerian constitution would vindicate u n put ur enemies to defeat.Be strong man! And hold on to what is urs.I wish u success!
The speaker of the house announced his defection. He thereby satisfied the requirements of subsection 2 which gave effect to the provisions of subsection 1. If tambuwal had allowed a spox to announce his defection, you may have a leg to stand on.
abes: The President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, shall give effect to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section
This is the key point. Neither the president nor the IGP has the constitutional right to give effect to Section 68(1).
Jweed is not good for your health. The speaker announced his defection. He therefore gave effect to the provisions of subsection 1.
You used to be a nice guy till you started smoking jweed. cease and desist
ayobase: just yesterday I was watching as Pakistan generates 15,000 MW from wind energy.......15,000MW o.
I wanna believe those parading themselves around the President as Minister of Power and some silly advisers coupled with those neckless senators are the ones burying this country is the darkness.
do they even experience black-out.
Shiroro dam? only one plant has been working among four since like 15,000MW years ago.
we need total overhauling in those 3 arms.......especially the senate.
And those around Fashola are telling him to buy generator that can light 100 bulbs! Nigeria is in trouble gaan
i can bet this is a quota professor. How can a public servant opine about partisan politics? And then descend to ad hominen attacks? Does this olowole professor know anything about zoology? I bet he thinks like a lot of supporters of APC that zoologists work in zoos!
Which school did this "professor" go to? Did you guys say he read law? Na waooo!
LFJ: Wishful thinking, Aminu still remain the speaker. If u love Jonathan, just advice him not to go dirty with this man at this time, time is is not in his favor. Let him focus his energy on what he has done within the last 6 years and what he intend to do if will give him 4 more yrs to earn our votes.
Jonathan loses my vote is he does not deal, to the full extent of the law, with fools like tambuwal. I wonder which vote GEJ will value, yours or mine? And as he deals with his political enemies, he has to start dealing with national enemies like boko haram. He has to arrange their meeting with Allahu.
manck2: Tambuwal left his party, because APC control sokoto. And he will not be able to win Under PDP in sokoto. Because his people are oppose to the govt.
He will not loss his seat as speaker. He was not elect speaker base on party.
he has already lost the post of speaker. he may not be apc guber candidate. double wahalla for aminu body
raumdeuter: We have numerous people who have decamped since 1999, Tell us how many have lost their seat
former speaker tambuwal is the one who allowed the illegality of people defecting with division in their parties to stay. With Speaker Mulikatu, the law will be vigorously enforced. All those who defected from parties which have no division will have to take early okada to their villages
