Before we get ourselves all agitated and worked up in support of one side or the other, perhaps we should ask ourselves whether it is proper and constitutional for the governor (as head of the executive branch of government) to march into the assembly chambers (of the state legislature) and seize by fiat the symbol of that branch of government, regardless of what situation subsisted in the chambers at that time. In my humble opinion, such an act is in itself an impeachable offence, for it constitutes a usurpation of the duties that belong properly to the serjeant-at-arms, who statutorily custodies the mace and whose duties also include maintaining order and security in the legislative assembly. Even more seriously, the governor's action, if confirmed, amounts to a display of contempt for the legislature, which, according to the law, is by no means inferior to the executive arm. It is just as if a president were to walk into the supreme court while in session and physically drag out the chief justice to prevent him/her from delivering a judgement that the president fears might be unfavourable to him. In quasi-religious terms, I would describe it as an abomination! In legalistic terms, I would call it an impeachable aberration. In ordinary parlance, I would say it is simply not done. 16 Likes |

slimghost:What about the majority that have a good relationship with Amaechi? So if a man is firm and does not play to the gallery then he is arrogant. Does saying the truth the way it is mean arrogancy.At least with the so-called arrogancy he is performing, he is far better than those lying politicians. Abi arrogancy na impeachable offence All those people listed are not political heavy-weights. Like I said earlier they are all failures who feel that they have seen a good reason to fight the man that won them. |

To people that follow Nigeria politics well , these is another scenario of the impeachment saga of Gov Rashidi ladoja of Oyo State By Adedibu Camp and Obasanjo in 2005 , The house of assembly was moved to a hotel and a common NURTW Thug sat as the speaker of the house with full support of Police Commissioner then , Almost the same things is about to happen in River State how could 5 lawmaker impeach the speaker of the house or the Pro Amaechi lawmakers?? We need to face the reality , they are trying to use forces to either impeach the governor illegally which is not a new thing in Nigeria democracy or destabilize the peace of river state and paint the Governor black and declare state of emergency ,I have lost all my Love for G.E.J , i know he is being pushed by sycophant , cos he is showing too much desperation for power. |

As for 2015 there will be crisis because Jonathan will lose and attempt the 2011 method while opposition will not yield like they did in 2011. The same thing that happened in NGF, Oguta re-run of Imo State and now this attempted impeachment. I pray God intervenes in usual manner to save Nigeria before 2015. |

oddy4real: I just got this from an Eye witness on twitter. Eye witness as what?? As a lawmaker or journalist , If the police can protect the security of the house of assembly , The Governor as the chief security officer of the state as right to protect it all , And the 5 lawmaker are the culprit . |

Akanbi_edu:Thank you, you just hit the nail on the head. And that is what we are all afraid of. They beginning to recruit them again. We all know how PEJ is pallying with Ateke, a man that unleashed mayhem on Okrika and PH with the help of Sekibo. We have seen enough blood shed in River, we got used to gunshots every now and then. A whole community (Okuru) was sacked while policemen watched. Okrika was a no go area, Amadi-ama people were constantly on the run for their lives, kidnapping was almost an everyday occurrence. Now we have some level of peace, and these enemies of our state are calling back these boys, giving them money to create problems. |

Pro-GEJ went to House of Assembly with sole aim of fomenting trouble and none was even arrested for constituting public nuisance. If they had been promptly arrested, the fracas would have been avoided.
