The PDP had earlier declared their seats vacant and the lawmakers didn't didn't challenge the so called rumours till 5 months later after announcing their defection.

I laugh at you. 😄

The same pdp is going to tell d court to forget d case that they`re still in d party. How do you see it?

Fiscus105:




I guess video footage is not one of evidences in ur own country

What if they claim that d videos are doctored, can provide written evidence? And mind you, the pdp that should pursue d case are d once denying d defection. What`s a common man like u going to do about it?

Justnation:
The national is being bankrolled and misled by wike.

The matter is in the hands of Rivers PDP not the national

Patty membership is at the local level not the national, once they tender their resignation to the ward chairman of the party They are gone.

In this matter if fugbara is in control of the state, local govt, and wards of the party, he is fully in charge and can even suspend wike from the ward.

That's the constitutional position. The national statement is out of order in this matter

But unfortunately for him, he`s not

ncoolsome:



So was PDP divided when the 27 legislators defected or after they defected ??

We`re not talking about defection. The question that deserves an answer now is` who`ll pursue d case, pdp or their members in Nairaland?

Justnation:




See your foolishness, you are exposing your ignorance and poor information.

Original mumu, Let me educate you it is the the ward, and Rivers State PDP exco that went to court to reclaim the seats, not even fugbara.
For your information the Rivers State PDP exco is strongly against wike, infact they are pro Atiku.

Wike has lost his base, he is only relying on his acolytes and Abuja.

Soon Abuja will abandon him, learn from ganduje in Kano

Stop saying what u don`t know.

Splendid235:
You are a learner. At the time of the said defection, there was no issues in PDP. If you don't know,ask questions.

In law,it is your word against another while time will be going. This case will drag on till 2027.Then the governor will defect to Labour party and still win.

Remember not to shout rigging

Kukutente23:

1. The division must exist as at the time of the defection. For a party that held its NEC just recently, it will be hard to prove division in the national organ
2. The defection was televised live and there was a letter from the Fubara faction to INEC as required by the constitution.
3. It doesn't matter who the chair and secretary are with. Even the state AG has locus in this matter. Heck even a citizen who is registered to vote in any of those constituencies has locus

Who do you think you want to deceive, an adult like you? just dey play!

Vadese1:
Oh cry me rivers. It will be easy for the camel to pass through the hole on the needle than Fubara to be impeached . Even the old drug lord occupying Asorock illegally knows the implications. Nigeria will probably say bye bye to to oil, the only source of revenue

Na dis boasting dey make me laff shaa

Strange things in Nigeria. Very strange. 😁

D same state pdp is denying it n u`re in ur room claiming what u won`t even be called as a witness in d court. D state executive council should be away of any defection bcoz they will be written to. Forget videos, it may be claimed to be doctored n d speaker who might have read d letter of defection can deny it in court since he`s also affected. This is politics not women August meeting

PDP are just fooling themselves
Their letter of defection was read on the hallowed chamber, defection announced

This denying is worse than the defection even

NothingDoMe:
Lol. Too late. They already announced their defection. PDP cannot unannounce it.

Mere verbal announcement is not an evidence the court can rely on. None of them is on APC register and they never officially communicated to the appropriate authority

Peacecore:

Whalis:

You have seen Photoshop ping have you seen tvshopping?
No fight who big pass you. For your face dem go dey change rules and nothing you for do. SIM chance Now is to defect to LP.

Hmmm

Kukutente23:

Where is the deceit

Shows in the law where anyone in the polling unit has d locus standi to take them to the court. As far as I know, PDP has d locus standi to take them to court but they r now saying that they didn`t defect that anything you think it was a defection display was a charade of comic display.

I can`t understand. Who`ll provide the copy of d letter to d court as evidence? the speaker that it was handed to or the clark that is with Wike(that`s if he even has a copy)? Just as I said before, verbal announcement or video can be claimed to doctored by the person involved. Defection has it`s own led down procedures _ write to the ward executive council, write ur name in the register of d new party n get ur membership cards.

Doctored video can be independently verified there is no case here

Wike's strength was based on State resources same as any sitting governor. Same resources he used to defeat Ameachi. Same resources Fubara will use to defeat him.

Not all strength lies on money. Wike has raised many people into relevance than Fubara who has none. Those are the people Wike are using as the backbones to fight. Imagine the commissioners, 27 lawmakers, state excos n even pdp at d centre etc backing Wike against an incumbent gov. Does it means there is no state resources on his disposal to fight back?

Well if that will satisfy your wish even though it`s d way of d law, then believe it.

Don't bring ethnicity into this. These are gang of robbers. They are robbing all ethnic groups in Rivers State just that Sim want to be a Robin Hood. You people should know where some of us belong. My position in this is that there is honour among thieves.

And does mean that Fubara who has d state treasury on his disposal can`t do that with money? Call a spade a spade, not sickle. Wike will strip him naked after d whole assembly matter.

Arabk25:

So what where they doing on national TV with APC flag declaring their support for tinubu and apc. Maybe they're making stik right.

What of Wike that is working with Tinubu day n night? Does that stops him from attending pdp national convention? You are just talking of declaring mere support n holding flag No letter of defection to pdp at any level, their names are not in apc register n no apc membership card. Go n tell court that u saw them with apc flag declaring support for Tinubu as ur evidence

PrinceofSarcasm:

If only that were all it took then the likes of Hitler , Stalin, Sadam and Gadafi would still be in Power today and thriving.
.My friend, if history has taught us anything, it's that there's always someone tougher, more ruthless, and more cunning than you, no matter which side of the law they stand on. Mark my words, Tinubu won't be making a comeback in 2027.

I know if he does, you`ll call it `rigging`
Politics is about good governance all the time...lemme leave u with that to meditate on.

Justnation:




It will clear in your eyes soon when the state will move on without them

And iff d court gives a verdict that is contrary to what u wish you start shouting `rape of democracy`

bixton:



And if he defects will that stop him from being impeached or removed from office if the PDP National then says he has decamped, will he not be made to vacate the office of the governor?

He won`t vacate based on defection except if he`s impeached.
reference- pdp vs Dave Umahi, 2022

Mercenary123:
wow

We sure deserve the kind of leadership we have had and are having in this country. So PDP didn't win that election after all

Labour party actually won river state Guber election as confirmed by one of the PDP stakeholders in the state including you which I am sure is also a PDP stakeholder but in wike/APC camp

God is watching all of us

Stop forming a different person here. Everybody is a hypo in dis section of NL

UKEMY:

You mean you didn't see them with APC membership card and small flags?
Let INEC conduct Election and they should test their popularity in APC and if they win,they can impeach the Governor but as for now they are not members of the RSHA

Emotion is d only thing that is stopping u from viewing this case tactically. Shelve it off n think bro.

racerve:


Where in PDP constitution does it say you need to submit resignation letter to leave the party?

Una don dey invent laws to backtrack.

Nigerian politicians have been defecting since 1999, so there's ample precedent for this. They announced their defection on the HoA floor and submitted a letter to that effect to the speaker.

Whether APC accepts them or not is irrelevant. Going by precedent, they have left PDP.

Which speaker accepted their letter n sign it? Can provide a copy of each? And mind u the person that should take them to court said that they`re not cuppable of such offence hence, no case against them. Are u going to b d one to pursue d case to d end? This is very naa
