But the house assembly has been locked for renovation by the state government for over a month. The deputy speaker can act on behalf of the speaker which we should look at . The simple thing is that the PDP miscalculated and the case you sited has been withdrawn.

GoodGovernance:


''Main while there is a supreme court judgement which says swearing in can only take place within the confines of the house of assembly''


Go and read the judgement again.

What happens when the house of assembly is not accessible?

The part l highlighted in "red" in your post, is PATENTLY FALSE.
The Courts have affirmed that the Governor cannot dissolve or sack ordinary Local Govt Chairman, because they were elected by the People, not appointed by the Governor, how much more State lawmakers elected in a general election!

Is like you think the "Executive" (an arm of the tripartite of Democracy) [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]can dissolve another EQUAL BUT DIFFERENT ARM of Govt?
It does not happen, he will need an act of parliament to do that and ldont see the Legislators voting that the Executive should dissolve them.

okuta007:



little boy - although not a popular route in modern politics, the executive can dissolve the legislative arm and call for fresh elections as well the legislative arm can impeach the chief executive who is the governor while the judiciary can interpret executive or legislative activities as ultra vires (unconstitutional) - that is how the organs of government watch over each other to check abuse of power - did u do government in school?

ok if the legislative arm is all powerful and they can do and undo

we know how the judiciary checks on the government - interpreting the law by giving court judgement
we know how the judiciary checks on the government - making laws and impeachment

HOW DOES THE EXECUTIVE control the other arms of government ?

The Chief executive can fire (by retiring) and hire members of the judiciary - you already see what Buhari did to Onnoghen so no need to explain
The Chief Executive can dissolve the legislative arm and call for elections - discretionary powers - you do not use this EXCEPT you are sure of victory

IF PUSH COMES TO SHOVE - obaseki after re-election will dissolve the house of assembly by proclamation and call for elections in 90 days

the down side of this move is IF the same law makers win and return - then he is in for trouble - BUT if he campaigns ruggedly against them - he wins

and then have his newly elected loyalist in PDP will help him rule effectively - go read your constitution and stop acting on impulse on nairaland

IgbalodeRaymond:
same with how you people rendered Ambode politically useless and SI unit of cowardice

Even if Obaseki looses tomorrow at least he fought like a man and will respected in Edo forever unlike one useless fat pig Ambode that listened to yeroba Muslims and sheepishly smiled his way to political oblivion

Obaseki coasting to victory 100%.. this drama just sealed his victory at the polls.

The game plan has changed to "take down Oshomole" for the Edolites, like it was for anenih in 2012 when Oshomole was the underdog from NLC.

Obaseki had better use this underdog strategy efficiently, one error usually takes it away..

If you are in doubt, re-study Lagos Governorship election 2015 and why APC only won with less than 100k votes despite being Tinubu's strongest hold...

Excuzeme:


The bigger Question is: Where they LAWFULLY ELECTED?
The answer is YES.
So, if Obaseki refuse to inaugurate them in the last four years or so, does that invalidate their being lawmakers?
The answer is NO.

So, if they are lawful lawmakers, they can act in that capacity, irrespective of the evil game Obaseki is playing because they represent the people who voted them to make laws for them, not Obaseki.

NgeneUkwenu:
For those who don't understand Politics...

These are the implications of the development:

1. Victor Osadero 19-Men Assembly are recognized by the Federal Government, which through the police, army etc implement the law.

2. Every resolutions of the new speaker carries the weight of Law.

3. No Bank will give Obaseki Loan Without the resolutions emanating from the new Speaker led Assembly..

4. They can initiate the process of impeaching Obaseki if they so desire...

Baawaa:
Edo is becoming Lagos

Oga Obaseki picked an unnecessary battle. He had the time to have settled it but he was been stubborn unnecessarily.

Excuzeme:


You are right on that and l never claimed to be, no one can make that claim.
But Calm Down, as in really, really Calm Down like this (see my hand ehn ).
We are just talking Politics, dont take it too seriously.

You and I know very well he is the underdog here.. in 2012 when Oshomole was seeking 2nd term, between him and Anenih whom was tagged Godfather, who was the underdog?..

We study elections.. no be noise, put ear for ground.

*"even if Obaseki looses..."?* Was this what you told him when you promised him to burn his bridges? You told him he would win! Now that it has become clear to you that he won't win, you are softening his pains for the inevitable!
God go punish all of Una wet push this ugly man to do this nonsense
