This can be set aside by an appeal court if pdp or Gov. Fubara gets its facts right.

Fubara is alone in this. PDP is in the court saying the lawmakers are their members.

Fiscus105:
I thought Sim said, we he had defeated them! Part 2 & 3 of the movie would be bloody!!

Someone that's a clown.

South east people have pushed fubara enter canal. We warned him to stay away from those people.

aviara:
What about the letter of defection written by each of the 27 members which was read on the floor of the assembly. Is that not enough proof of their defection?

This judgement can not stand

Please produce them.
You can make over a billion dollar if you can help with this evidence.

chrisxxx:

Use your sense small naaa. PDP followed them to court to say that the lawmakers are their members..what do you want the judge to judge again? PDP Chairman River State na Wike appoint am. National Chairman na Wike appoint am..APC Rivers State Chairman na Wike appoint am. President na Wike person. There some fights you don't pick because it would make you look like a fool.

so u r saying fubara is in fresh trouble?

But in reality, there seems to be no official document recognized by law indicating that they have left the party.

Exactly. The lawmakers were smart.

It was SE people, especially Obidients, that carried the case on top of their head as if Rivers was a SE state. I hope Fubara imports voters from Abia come 2027 that's even if he survives his first 4 years.

Ps: Peter Obi too was godfather for a little while before he was later given the middle finger by the same man Obi put in power. That makes Anambra Ibos too born slaves.

Deltatoto:
sim will struggle to finish his first term,he can never return.even the ppl smiling at him now are not his friends.they just want to obtain what they can obtain.u don’t know your true friends while in office.Wike will field abe in 2027 the fight go hot.its not all govs that are powerful.sim no get level.we have seen govs who couldn’t win their local govts.udughan and co.politics get as e be

Wike won't field Abe. To calm Ijaws likely Wike will field George Kelly. Mark this.

Judolisco:
Then d next thing to do is for pdp to expel them for publicly associating with d APC in public.... Why dem no think b4 dem move?

Or, the next thing is Fubara impeachment loading

GreyWolf01:
The judge is a clown.

He actually made sense. Something physical makes one a member of a political party, not a mere oral pronunciation

Chinjo2:
Wike is well known for procurement of justice but this time around, he will fail woefully.
Fubara should immediately appeal the judgement up to the supreme court. By the time the case will be over, his tenor would have come to an end. It's not a must to be governor for two tenures.

He has joined the list of ex govs like Ambode who fade away after their tenure in office. Well, he wasn't even a politician before.

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.

FUBARA will soon realize he is a baby in Nigeria politics

which PDP? Seems you're still sleeping.... PDP chairman Damagun file for the case and the court granted the prayers..... Wile controls PDP and APC in Rivers... I just pity those obedient noisemakers who will learn the hard way from this incidence

Jorussia:
There was no judgement before this one.Fubara was parading a court order last week or so.This is the first time there is a court judgement regarding this matter.

Okay. That's wonderful.
The disfavored will have to proceed to the Appeal Court if such feels he will get a better outcome.
Interesting plays.

ozo13:
Wike men are in charge of PDP NEC and wike is also in charge of River state APC.

This is very misleading to be honest.
At first we were made to believe that the Abuja High Court lacks jurisdiction on this matter. Now that the State High Court has given judgement, the AG of Rivers State is reminding us of the case in Abuja.
What makes him think that the judgement in Abuja will say otherwise!!!!
Governor SIM said he did not buy his SAN, I hope this will not his first case to lose as AG of the State?

So in judiciary people will not be held accountable for their words. So if one said that he is going to bomb a place and the next minutes that place is bombed, so since the person was not found with the bomb or saw detonating the bomb he won't be help responsible. Our words are our oath. It's just a crap country we are. No justice.

So if I come out and say I am the Chairman of APC on TV , does that automatically make me the chairman? Or if I say I am not a Nigerian on TV, does that invalidate my citizenship? Please some of us become too emotional when discussing issues of law. This judge is right, Fubara was just holding onto straws after burning the state HoA. At the end he will still be impeached. The law is an Ass.

You’re spitting fire because it didn’t favor your ideology. If your words are to be taken seriously Eluup online E - warriors calling for coup would’ve been in jail.
The law court is not run by emotions. Did the house of Assembly members wrote resignation letter signed by the party chairman to affirm their resignation? If NO , they still have some leverage over the matter . Let’s wait for the Supreme Courts.

377:
All these judges are big problem to our democracy, which one are we going to take now. Na wao for naija judiciary oh

Judges work with evidence and not emotions or sentiments. They didn't prove their case in court to be worthy of judgement in their favour. Now, you are attacking the judge. I really don't understand you.

Until you realize that the Politicians are our major problems and not the judges.

Oghene86:


PhD holder of evil politics, 😁 since you they see well nothing will happen those guys are long gone. This is a procured judgement, these are people that went to court over their defection, there is a judgement from Justice Omotosho concerning their defection, don't worry it will be clear for you to see

You'll continue suffering the more you mixed emotions with politics.

You'll see that Rivers pple aren't docile like the Yorubas and you can take this to the bank

Gbam!

A sound judgement. Not like all those kangaroo interlocutory orders that was being procured by Fubara's camp and shying away from the main issue. Every knowledgeable person knows they are still in PDP. They never properly defected. Fubara is just deceiving himself. He will learn a bitter lesson.
