What did he do?

If na for Rivers State, the guy for become the new speaker.

PDP and APC are the most useless parties in Nigeria

State Houses of Assembly are in the pocket of the Governors.

Meanwhile Nyesom Ezenwo Wike thank you for gradually restoring the lost glory of Abuja, you deserve the title Mr Project ✅.

The immediate past minister of the FCT Mohammad Bello should just wasted 8 years wearing well ironed agbada to the office daily while the FCT rot away.

IF U CAN'T BEAT THEM YOU JOIN THEM

Oga APC be wise delta state is PDP state nobody will rescue you even federal might won't work behave yourself sir ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

What was his offence?
The term gross misconduct has been abused so much by power drunk politicians. What did he actually do to warrant suspension?
I think people should be able to contest decisions like this in court.
That is how the corrupt Senate President Akpabio suspended Senator Ningi for exposing the rot in the Senate.

Most probably he is not in support of sharing

Na wa o

The SHARING FORMULA inot FAIR.... if u know.. u know

So what was the ’gross misconduct’ ?

How many calendar days are in 14 legislative days?

How many calendar days are in 14 legislative days?

Each week house sit for 3 days, remaining 2 days are for committees meeting etc

Tooooooor

Normal thief thief ... Huh, need help with your academic papers? Contact us.

Akpowowo , JESUS CHRIST!

He's a first timer and a very rugged lawyer, his offence is that he accused the Legislative arm of plagiarism. His intellectual content (a bill he drafted) was repackaged and presented as an executive Bill.

All of you talking trash don't know shit.
