They defected to APC on the floor of the House. They swore an affidavit to that effect. The question is not whether they defected rightly or wrongly in relation to party procedures. The question whether by virtue of freedom of association, they announced their cessation of membership of a political party and joining of another. That they did and even swore an affidavit to that effect.

Ojuntana:
I don't have to drag them out. The law already said the Speaker shall declare their seats vacant. That is due process.

The member in 2015 was about to be recalled before he ran to court. The defectors have never lost their seats before they defect to the ruling party not because you have to wait for court. The constitution did not say you should wait for court. The word is "shall vacate his seat".
Again, in the case of the Cross River assembly members in 2022, APC denied membership of the lawmakers and even said their names are not on their register yet the Court still went ahead to declare their seats vacant.

Ojuntana:
Are you aware of the letters of defection they read on the House floor to defect?

Ojuntana:
Are you aware that in the case of Cross RIvers members in 2022, APC also denied the lawmakers were their members yet the judge still declared their seats vacant based on the fact that they defected?
You are bringing a different matter of what constituted membership when section 109 is talking about defection? Did 109 ask for membership card or register as precondition to establish defection?

Ojuntana:
I'm not asking for any dispute or anything. You are not their lawyer are you? I'm asking you as an individual, based on facts in the public domain, did the lawmakers defect or not? Ye or Nay?

BERNIMOORE:
stop Argument with this people.... The 14days to Appeal the Justice omotosho's judgment has elapsed.... As it is the Affidavit died with that case....because it was abandoned by fubara.....Fubara is in Dilemma either to Go back and file a new case at FHC based on defection or to Appeal the new Judgement to Appeal court....That is the Mess they put their self

Ojuntana:
Based on your reading of the facts of the defection, did the lawmakers defect or not?
In light of this funny claim that it's the party that determines if someone defected or not [/b]and recent judgement against defectors, its it true that it's the party that determines defection?
What does the constitution says about defection and declaring seats vacant?
You guys just love to butcher the law on the altar of politics.

Noneroone:
withdraw the case? You must be kidding me. How can you withdraw a case where judgement has been delivered?

Affidavit is a statement of facts under oath. It might not be enough proof they joined APC but is a strong enough proof they left PDP and denounced all association with the party. PDP claims about them not "defecting properly" is a lame excuse as far as this case is concerned. You can't force someone to become part of an organisation against his will. It's like a court upholding an election result simply because it came from INEC not minding proven evidence of irregularities before the court.

Didn't he ask himself what if his victims recognize him in movies he acted in or will be acting in? I doubt this story.

Because of Rivers State politics, everyone has now been called to the Nigerian Bar as a lawyer.
Just take a look at you mixing up issues with bitter sentiments and emotions.😂😂😂

Before enlightening you as I always do, I want to confirm if it wasn't the same you that jubilated when Justice Wali of the SHC gave a judgement when he had no jurisdiction to do so? You are simply a pained hypocrite.

First, you just wasted your time attacking Justice J.K Omotosho for naught. If them bring defamation suit for your head now, you go dey scream blue murder.

The affidavit you highlighted had absolutely nothing to do with J.K Omotosho.

The affidavit was presented before Justice Okorowo of the FHC, Abuja and not Justice Omotosho as you have claimed. The affidavit was presented in 2023 and Okorowo's order was made in 2023.

Omotosho's order came exactly on the 22nd day of January 2024. These are two different cases.

On the issue of affidavit, the law is that it is a statement of declaration of facts under oath. I agree with you on that. However, the court has held in the case of Agbaje v. Ibru Sea Food Ltd (1972) 7 NSCC 388 that affidavit is evidence which a court can act on unless matters of facts stated therein are manifestly untrue.


In the light of the preceding paragraph, PDP and APC have come out to support Hon. Amaewhule openly that there was no defection. These are the major parties involved. Can it not be said that the facts therein are manifestly untrue? Dey play!

Again, are you aware that it was Amaewhule who instituted that matter before Justice Okorowo? Are you also aware that he can decide to withdraw the matter and everything would die a natural death? He will only be liable for cost.

PLEASE STOP MASQUERADING YOUR IGNORANCE OF LEGAL ISSUES AS KNOWLEDGE.

For those asking of the affidavit sworn by Martins and co, below are the scanned copies of the affidavit they tendered at Justice Omotoshos Court to obtain an interlocutory injunction restraining INEC and the assembly from declaring their seats vacant.

Omotosho, a fantastically corrupt judge well known for granting black market injunctions readily granted the order. Omotosho is a known Wike ally and is at his beck and call for such frivolous judicially reckless orders and is one of the judges currently on the NJCs radar.

In their affidavit filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja and published on page 29 of This Day Newspaper on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, Martin Amaewhule and his committee of friends made a critical admission. Seeking an interlocutory injunction, they wrote:👇

"9. That the plaintiffs (Amaewhule & his friends) contested their respective elections on the platform of the 2nd defendant (PDP) and had remained members of the latter until 11/12/2023 when the plaintiffs (Martin Amaewhule and his committee of friends) left the 2nd defendant (PDP) and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a result of a serious division in the 2nd defendant (PDP)."

This affidavit has been their greatest downfall, a fact they conveniently hide from their supporters.



Now, my question is this?? Why is this affidavit POWERFUL ENOUGH for a judge to consider as evidence of defection with which to issue an interlocutory injunction against declaring their seats vacant BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE SAME AFFIDAVIT IS NO LONGER STRONG ENOUGH as evidence of defection as touted by them and their cheerleaders Think about it! 😂


Now by saying they NEVER DEFECTED, are they not also AUTOMATICALLY ADMITTING that they LIED UNDER OATH Because they are citing the Omotosho judgement as the subsisting order that keeps their seats BUT that order is based on a document that highlights an event they are denying before the whole world.

That is pure , unadulterated PERJURY!!! And it's a criminal offence!

You can now see why they are relying on interlocutory injunctions to hide under and quickly impeach the governor. They know that THEY CANT WIN the substantive suit if it gets to the supreme court.


Yet, dunces and morons are busy defending these clowns, telling us about membership cards and wether their names are in the party register... did Omotosho need all of those to be able to stop the declaration of their seats vacant 😂

On this premise alone, I wonder why OkoJumbo hasn't appealed Omotoshos judgement.

I repeat! It would be a gross miscarriage of justice to allow these men back in the house but then again, this is Nigeria!

PS: Note the section underlined in red.

Maybe one moronic simpleton will say the below is AI generated like he said of their defection videos... 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

Righteousness2:
This matter could very well be bigger than what the Ordinary sees or knows.

There are certain degrees and levels of Evil certain persons have entered into and signed with the devil in the name Wealth, Fame, etc.

The devil has nothing free to give. Some of these Evil deals come with Certain crazy and satanic Conditions which must be adhered to else they lose their lives.

I know a Certain Guy who signed with the devil in his desperate search for fame and Wealth.
He was 3 conditions which one was Never to eat anything a woman cooks.
He did so until thr day of reckoning came. He visited his parents , his mum gave him Meat pies which she baked. He forgot his deal with the devil and ate the meat pie.

As soon as he took a bite, tears came frim his eyes! He remembered the deal with the devil. It was too late. Strange events/ Troubles began from all quarters.
All the millions in his 3 bank accounts Mysteriously vanished with a balance of 6000, 6000, 6000 in the three accounts.
Houses/ shops Mysteriously got burnt to ashes.
He was in danger and about to killed when he ran to GOD OF CHOSEN like a Mad man .

It took the Mercies of GOD to Deliver and Save His life.

The Blessings of GOD Makes rich and adds no sorrows.
That of the Devil comes with Enough Baggages of Sorrows and destruction of the soul in Hell fire

The man can admit he committed the crime if he's tortured. If he shows evidence he was tortured by the NPF to get information, the judge will dismiss the case and set the man free.

Paraman:
The PDP said they are still members of the PDP, so what is falana talking about?

Kobojunkie:
This is why Nigerians must educate themselves on their Constitution but they refuse to do even that.

1. The moment those men switched parties, they ceased to be elected lawmakers and became impersonators/fraudsters impersonating lawmakers. Read your constitution!

2. Making laws while impersonating a lawmaker is a crime.

3. It cannot be said to support that which it contravenes. Term elongation contravenes the decision and power of the electorates whom you don't seem to care much about.

4. Learned mind? Inconsequential? Please get yourself educated so your politicians don't continue to sell off your future and destiny with this nonsense you spew on their behalf!

Consequence? In which land is that a consequence of that? Why do you lot fail to reason your existence well for Pete's sake...how can an Obviously criminal act be considered a "consequence' of what is an unconstitutional act carried out by a governor? No be brain damage you dey talk so?

This is why I say the average Nigerian have been existing as zombies in their own democratic system.
