I'm asking this question cos of the recent crisis in Edo state house of assembly.

The senate gave obaseki 3 weeks ultimatum to issue a fresh proclamation or they will take over EDHA.

Does the senate have the right to do that?

I Listen to what Sen rochas okorocha said about the ultimatum and also to what cruse Osagie said as well.



We want to learn

In the state, it is the governor I.e cases where a governor prevented senators to go for a second term or fought with senators, states like ondo, Kogi, ogun, Kaduna etc.
At federal level it is the senators e.g Kaduna state senators prevented el rufai access to an IMF loan

Governor is far more powerful than a senator. Except for the senate president which is the number 3 man in the country.

OK but does the Nigeria senate has the power to order a state governor on how to run his state?

In case of edo, the senate has the power to take over, all they need is to activate the constitutional clause

yes since the number of people that elected the speaker is less than 2/3 of thse house of assembly.

A Governor has far more power than a single Senator. However, a large group Senators have more powers than a Governor in the sense that the Senators can enact a law at the federal level that can destroy a Governor

SUPERPACK:

They activated the constitutional clause and Obaseki did it too by issuing out proclamation.
Obaseki has the upper hand here, he can't issue out another proclamation letter. Anyway the matter is in court and Obaseki will triumph.

Why not wait until the court pronouncement is made. Or you want to be a Judge in your own case?

Tell that to the Senate and house of reps. They should wait for the court processes to run its course before delving into a matter that is strictly for the court to interpret.

Dead country called Nigeria!

Governor.

Governors are even superior to President if they know how to manage. They govern, that is why they are Govern-ors.

A Governor is more powerful than a senator. But when they come together as d Senate, they are the most powerful institution in Nigeria. They can remove the president, repeal a judgement of even the supreme Court. So a governor dwarfs in comparison.

Senator ke,senator can't stand Governor,unless if there are large of senators,the whole coalition of senators are powerful than president and Governor..

its d Governor, I think.

It depends on the political dynamics in play.

Governor pass senator

Na gufnor na, this is a no-brainer

Governor

A single governor is far more powerful than a single senator, but a determined and combined force of more than 2/3rd of the senate is stronger than even the president - ask Obasanjo about his third term failed bid, you can easily punish a senator but it is a tug of war to punish a governor

but the almost near impossible thing is the unification of the senators

Dumb question.

Governor of course

Governor controls a whole state... senator controls senatorial district. But coalition of senators is more stronger than any governor.




Hello guys,

You ask me to ask who?

Na Governor na


A governor is the general overseer of a state, while a senator represent a constituency in a state.

Even though we do not practice a proper kind of federalism, the truth is that Nigeria is still a federation whether we agree or not, and governors are mini-emperors, just like the president. Unfortunately, most governors still do not recognize the kind of powers they wield, that's why everyone still sucks up to Abuja.

na chairman two of them be o

Ol

2/3 majority of the senate are more powerful than the president... Talkless of Governor.. they can override a proclamation.

A Governor of course!

With that immunity...u can do and undo
