Its a game plan of wike oo, he is in charge of both APC and PDP in Rivers. They are in control of inec in Abuja so they will win and impeached the governor if he is not up to his game

Macphenson:


Do you think its going to be against him? It wont, theres a game plan. Same way he supported Tinubu against his party. Its called politics.

Use the right word. The way he rigged Rivers state for Tinubu that should be the right sentence. That's politics of immorality in a way of undermining democracy.

Saraki as Senate president defected to PDP from APC, tambuwal did same as speaker....alot of lawmakers defect from 1 party to another so why should INEC conduct election for defected rivers lawmakers

The two people you mentioned defected at the tail of the expiration of their tenure. Going to court to declare their seats vacant will be counter productive because their tenure would have lapsed before the issue gets to supreme court and it will turn to academic exercise.

casualobserver:


This is why we say you people are poorly educated. How did they benefit from an affidavit that was withdrawn? It was withdrawn means it was never considered as evidence or formed the basis of judgement. If evidence or a submission is withdrawn by a party to the litigation or struck out by the judge, it means its existence is no longer recognized by the court. A court only considers what it recognizes. This is why you see litigants presenting boxes of evidence and listing the witnesses before a hearing begins. Once the hearing begins you can’t rely on what is not presented or what has been withdrawn. You don’t have to be a lawyer to know this. This are things you should know by virtue of being an educated person.

This is why we say resist the temptation to comment on subjects you don’t understand.

Better don't worry yourself about those people to them wike must go down

That letter was wrote to INEC last year 2023 meanwhile the same Damagun told the court of appeals last week that the 27 lawmakers are still PDP members

You see fubara may win the local election legal battles but you see that of lawmakers he should forget it unless if he can influence PDP at about national and state level to constitute a case against them at federal high Court

Who sacked them?

The president didn't declare their seats vacant because he hadn't the constitutional backing.

You seem not to understand politics, the move is just an indirect approach to be reinstalled as the members of the Assembly

The hand of Esau (Wike) The Voice of Jacob (Damagum)

This is the right thing to do instead of starving the entire Rivers people.

The governor must not obey illegality. As long as Nigerian constitution is concerned, only the three remaining members are legal. Two out of the three members are enough to form a quorum and the governor cannot be in error to present documents to them.

The governor should prepare 2025 budget and present to the three members, that's the right thing to do.

Wike is behind it he know when fresh election is conducted sim will have no chance to win is either PDP or APC I rest my comment

saseremichael:

It won't be easy for them to defeat Fubara candidates in an election

Why will Wike be behind a move that is going to work against him? Because he wike believe when fresh election conducted he will have upper hand against sim

casualobserver:


the problem with the masses is they think the law works the way you reason.

When you say someone is a member of a political party, you must show his name of the party register because if your name is not on the party register you are not officially recognised...you dont have a membership number or an ID card. You have not recognised as a member under the law.

If like you gain admision to a university and your name listed in the newspaper as succesful candidate. Until you complete the formal procedures of registration and your name on the University's official list of students with registration number and ID card, you are not an officially recognised student by law. if you cannot show documents that show official membership of a body and the said body says you are not a member...then you are not a member! Affidavit simply means you lied, it doesnt mean you are a member....under the law!

The problem with Nigerians is we are used to anyhowness. The law does not recognise anyhowness!!

YOU Must show the letter of resignation from PDP and official document issued By APC (e.g register or ID card) to show they are members of APC. When Obi defected from PDP we all saw his letter of resignation.

The courts and the law are not based on emotion or perception. Defection involves 2 steps, resignation and registration with another party. You must have official documents to show both steps.

Mr. Man, cunny and emotional support doesn't solve the issue on ground or trying blackmailing using uncoordinated narrative.

You should also have known that no prospective student whose name appear in newspaper publication for been shortlisted will go to court to go and swear an affidavit that he is now a full fledge student of such school. He can only swear an affidavit that he is a student when he has completed all the procedure required of him to do, except you mean to say that court is a playing ground where tom and Jerry go to seek for affidavit that they don't need, meaning you can just wake up one day and go to court and claim what you are not and that will just fly like that. Mr. Man, Nigeria is not a banana republic but a constitutional country where rules are meant to be obeyed. I repeat, court is not a playing ground where iru wa, ogiri wa go to sought for paper they don't need and keep same under their bed or just to fulfil all righteousness. You know what that mean to have gone to court and claim what you are not? That's perjury. They even risk 14 years imprisonment with such act. They are even dipping themselves to more troubled water with such abracadabra they are out to play.
They went to court to swear in an affidavit to handicap INEC, PDP and the Rivers state assembly that their seats should not be declared vacant and INEC should not conduct by-election to replace them on the premise that they defected to APC because of factions that existed in the party PDP but turn around to play smart and making court their playing ground where they can go and do whatever they like. I am sure if it was a serious country where rule of law is rule of law, can they try that?.

Meanwhile, letter of resignation is not the only medium to authenticating resignation. Different ways can constitute resignation from a political party, namely
1. Non payment of due for a period of time.
2. Public publication of dissociating yourself from a political party (putting in mind, a political party is an association, hence, there is a freedom to move in and a freedom to move out at will as no one is under compulsion).
3. Letter of resignation.
4. Engaging in an antiparty activity.
5. Death.

In this case they have done three of the above (1, 2 and 4).

Truth be told, the 27 lawmakers have committed the most fatal error of their life. Why cross carpeting when no one is disturbing them in PDP, as they have PDP's balls in their hands.
If the judiciary have to interpret the law as should be, their case is easy to dispense with no fear or favour.

Prince29:

My only fear is the number of deaths that would be recorded if election is conducted today in Rivers state because Wike would want to show wit and power that he owns Rivers state while SIM would want to exert his authority has the number one citizen of the state. It is better imagined than been a reality. If on a normal ground, SIM will surely dust the ground but Wike I know would want to make a statement and that will result into bloody engagement.

Please what concern president with who defect at the National Assembly? It's only their political party that can do that. Flash back to OBJ vs Atiku, wherein OBJ declared Atiku seat as VP vacant and the court told he has no right to do so.

computer0810:


Hypocrisy 😂😂😂😂


Go to court then

I won't go to court, you're the one that is pained with what happened and making fuss of what is not because you're not current about how cases are initiated and won or lost.

Let me teach you small. Any lawmaker that defected less than a year to the expiration of his or her tenure, is in a save mode and no political party would want to waste their resources pursuing a case that would be time bound and turn to academic exercise later. If they had defected earlier or two years to their tenure expiration, they know that there is possibility of losing the seats because the case would be litigated before the expiration of their tenure.

If they win and come back who will then bee the speaker and deputy and house leader.

So what do we say with Fubara declaring the seats of 27 members vacant?

Damagun has finally dumped wicked wike.

Fugbara is the Man of the Year

Fubara never declared their seats vacant but only stop recognizing them as members of the house till the final determination of the case institutes against them.

Kukutente23:

Gist me the koko jare sure man

He signed a letter of discontinuance to the Federal High Court.

When the National Legal Adviser attempted to take up the Rivers matter, this same Damagum also wrote to the Court in support of the Rivers PDP Legal Adviser loyal to Wike.

He also suspended the National Legal Adviser for insubordination.

He also wrote to the Court that the 27 RSHA members are valid members of the Party.

He is trying to make it seem he is disassociating with Wike but that's a fat lie.

Himself and Nnaemeka Anyanwu are deep deep deep in Wike's pocket.

Oh OK
For me the man is playing all sides
He's milking the present situation to his best
Note this letter is coming out after the Governors meeting

He would want to ring the election to favour his candidates who would in turn move impeachment motion against the governor. We are in Nigeria where your offender would boldly encourage and advise you to go court.

RedScorpion:
Mr PDP Chairman...... Why Now

This is a letter you should have written almost a year ago when those miscreants defected to that useless party.

Jungle don obviously mature...

Anytime that election takes place,

Fubara and his candidates will Prevail and let Wike know that Incumbency is bigger than Godfatherism...

Rivers nor be Lagos.
