Fubara as an individual lacks d jurisdiction to take d lawmakers to court on issue of defection. Only pdp which sponsored them has.

Bros you get sense. Just see my comment regarding this above.

Oga,the court will always admit any evidence.admittsnce is different from using them or establishing an offence.they may admit for formality sake

k
Well the high court can say whatever they want and dance to any tune. .We will wait till it get to the Supreme Court...

jidamsel43:
There is an existing High Court injunction that declared their seats vacant, only an appeal court verdict of competente jurisdiction can overrule the existing judgement

The functionality of an injunction ends after proclamation of judgement. Only appeal injunction will subside this judgement.

How can the judge say video evidence is not enough?

Peacecore:
So you want the judge to act out of sentiment n hearsay instead of evidence?

TEXT OF PRESS BRIEFING BY DAGOGO IBOROMA, SAN, RIVERS STATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL AND COMMISSIONER FOR JUSTICE ON MONDAY, JUNE 10, 2024*

Gentlemen of the Press

• As Hon. Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and 3rd defendant in SUIT NO DHC/20/CS/2024, my attention has been drawn to a recent judgment. This suit did not seek to declare the seat of Martins Amaewhule and 26 others in Rivers State House of Assembly vacant.

• The suit of the claimants was struck out for want of locus standi and jurisdiction and also for being an abuse of court process which robbed the trial court of jurisdiction to adjudicate on the matter.

• There is misleading news circulating in social media, print and electronic media that Martins Amaewhule & 26 others are members of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Rivers State House of Assembly.

• As you all know, Martins Amaewhule and 26 others defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress on the 11th Day of December, 2023 and stated that much in affidavit evidence deposed to by Martins Amaewhule for himself and on behalf of 26 others in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/1681/CS/2023 before Hon. Justice Donatus Okorowo of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division. The Suit is still pending in court.

• By section 272(3) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, it is only the Federal High Court that can determine whether Martins Amaewhule and 26 others are still members of Peoples Democratic Party and also members of the Rivers State House of Assembly. This much was held by the trial court.

However, you will recall that these is a subsisting order of interlocutory injunction in Suit No.
PHC/512/CS/2024 restraining Martins Amaewhule and his co-travelers from further parading or presenting themselves as law makers in Rivers State pending the determination of the substantive suit, which has not been appealed against till date.

• We urge the public to disregard the news presently making rounds in social, print and electronic media to the effect that Martins Amaewhule and 26 others have been declared as members of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Was what we read on the news not the position of the judges? That's what I want you to answer before I comment.

I ve noted your moniker
Let's pray for life and good health
You'll see that Rivers pple aren't docile like the Yorubas and you can take this to the bank

So d people supporting Woke in Rivers are from Badagry?

From my experience in the courts,the appeal court will remain

DMerciful:
How can the judge say video evidence is not enough?

You can go the national TV tomorrow n say that INEC has withdrawn d certificate of return n gave it to whosoever you like but is that an evidence enough to start calling the person d new president? Do you know whether those guys had told d court that they were acting movies?

chrisxxx:

Bros you get sense. Just see my comment regarding this above.

My brother I don't know how they reason or where they get their own knowledge.

phantom:
But there is evidence of an affidavit to that effect by Amaewhule and co., is that not enough?

You have been mentioning this affidavit. Do you really know what an affidavit is?

Noneroone:
who told you all these. They will eventually continue their case with pending injunction against them in the Rivers state high court in Portharcourt. You can't run to a court of equal jurisdiction to duplicate suit when you are bound by a subsisting order.

Who is this one?

People comot announce say them don comot for pdp enter APC, court comes say Dem be pdp? Bros how? Nigeria has gone to the Dogs

Oga pdp talk am say Dem no comot. No dey try to dey paint d judge black.

Lawyers wey go enter heaven, dem no go reach 2 worldwide

Fubara and PDP should appeal this case

If PDP members do a press conference and say they've decamped to APC by themselves.
Thats enough evidence, afterall nobody forced them.

The judge is asking if their names are in the party register, does it mean they can't delete their names because they're now facing the declaration of their seats vacant?

The video evidence of them saying they've moved to APC is enough

Use common sense n see the credibility of this case bro. I don't know what else to say

Why u dey mention pdp for dis case? Dem complain give you? Ahh

You don't have anything to say because you wanna side with the compromised judiciary.

In abroad like the US, even the testimony of a 12yrs old will nail you if he is a witness to a crime. Video evidence will nail you but if you come to Nigeria, they'd say video is not enough.

We are saw when INEC said BVAS and
IREV are compulsory but at the election petition, the justices said the video is not enough that INEC can use any method they like.

Nigerians don't want Nigeria to work

What's defection? What are the procedures? What happens after defection as regards to the two political parties? These are the questions you need to ask yourself. It's different from a case of a witness saying he sawing the man releasing the gun shot. Know this n know peace. It mustn't favour you all the time.
