You know the truth but continue. Their affidavit to that effect is still there.

So if I go to court to swear an affidavit that I am US citizen, I will automatically become their citizen. Even if my name is not registered in US as a citizen?

So it's a normal occurrence for names of defectors to still be in the ward registry...this makes the SC judgement all the more strange
Don't mind them.

It is very very normal.

Most times the names remain in the old registers for 2 years until the Party is doing party membership revalidation.

But it was publicized, a case can easily be made that once such was publicized by the defectors themselves, it became legally binding, whether they forwarded to their wards or not ....truth is that Wike/Tinubu just had more pull with the SC judges then fubara ever could, which is why he lost. Once the issue got to SC, I already knew he was most likely going to lose, I'm sure he also knew to some extent that he'd lose which is why I'm eagerly anticipating his next step, this one sweet pass anything wey dey Netflix now cheesy

Well the same SC was with Wike/Fubara when they declared him governor.

Anyways do you think Gov. Fubara has any next steps to play?
Already he is in a checked mate position and there are no much moves for him but he can stall and keep stalling?



In no distant time, the Speaker will write to him to pay all their entitlements owed them and much more......

Yes because Abegunde didn't argue about his defection. He actually agreed that he defected and said that it's because of a division at the state level

This has rendered whatever is coming from the high court useless.

Those assembly members by word of mouth alone cannot be said to be APC members, they have not registered to have joined APC neither is their names in the APC register or collected APC membership cards
The only problem I have with the madness from APC & the useless judiciary is that, the outside works now see Nigeria as a crime scene which is a very bad dent on every Nigerians. The rate of visa refusal for Nigerians is very high now

Well, when they messed up the country finished, the monster they created in Nigerians will consume them

For now, keep on celebrating the madness APC destroying the country

They just helped you define defection. Abegunde was about what constitute division in a party. There was no argument about his defection.

No Court will adjudicate on the defection of the 27 lawmakers again. Whatever is left of that matter has become merely academic. The Supreme Court already pronounced that from the point Fubara demolished the State House of Assembly, all subsequent actions of the lawmakers, including their purported defection never happened. You cannot build something on nothing.



Hope you got my point. Demolition of building or not. You cannot tell your employer say you no do again, com submit a resignation letter duly signed by you and your employer com sign an acknowledgement copy. And the same you, now say you wan go back there , go work. Whatever you do or did with your life after leaving the company is none of your former employer's business(whether you remained unemployed but lied to yourfriends you're working at Guinness, or you joined another company).

Did they resign due to building demolished? That's a different case. Fubara had stated the reason for the demolition ,even though it's politically motivated. Court dwells on evidence, not story or emotions.

There are things the Court won't do and that is one of them.
Till the party involved brings it as evidence. The Court does not investigate such things and only give a verdict based on what is laid before them and they don't go outside what is laid before them.

That's the mischief the Supreme Court did

They clearly stated "They are not members of APC"

But did not state

"They left PDP"


Cus the whole world knows they left PDP.
It's technical and sensible what the SP had done. They're not members of the apc truly but the letters they tendered which bear their signatures is a proof they left the pdp,
which the SP is quite aware of.

They're not members of the pdp anymore. This will be dealt with at the party levels and then, the court. They shouldn't have submitted those letters of which they all received acknowledgement copies.

Nigeria a nation of acadabra.

You people just argue anyhow and give opinions on what you don't understand or you understand and allow emotions affect your reasoning and utterances. For your information and knowledge, Abegunde's case happened in Ondo State. He was elected on the platform of Labour party when Mimiko of then Labour Party was governor. He had some disagreements with Mimiko and he later decamped to ACN. The Labour Party went to court and for about four years, they were on the case: from High Court, to Appeal Court and finally, the Supreme Court where his decamping was sanctioned as there were no enough division in Labour party to warrant his decamping. Throughout the four years, he was a legislator and no Governor forced him away from the chambers. He was only sacked by the Supreme Court about two months to the end of his four years. The grounds for defection are written in the constitution and grounds for sanctioning a defector is there. Only the courts can interprete it and the final say on it rests with the Supreme Court, just like in Abegunde's case; not a governor nor any other person or groups of persons.

I don't have the judgement ctc but I'll like to think fubara was at least smart enough to put their detection from pdp alone, not their destination
But the CTC was attached and there destination was mentioned also.
Fubara should have exercised a bit of patience till they register as APC members and then, he'll have the needed evidence to strike.

I do have issues with the supreme Court judgement, does it mean that they no longer recognize a sworn affidavit from a valid court as a legal document? The part about the lawmakers not being in apc member register is not really important here, the issue at hand was about whether there is evidence that they defected from pdp, not on whether they're registered in apc. Nevertheless, the supreme Court have given their judgement, however flawed it is, and has to be obeyed.

No affidavit was brought before them

Sure but money isn't really going to be an issue. Once he recognizes the martins led house, which he's already doing, FG should start remitting the state's funds to him again. He still has a lot of goodwill with the electorates, just has to play his card right to beat any impeachment move that might be brought against him and re-strategize for next election
Re: The 27 Members Of Rivers Assembly Are Not APC Members - Supreme Court by Kewtt: 7:15pm On Mar 05
you don't have to be moronic, has the PDP ward levels said anything otherwise? or PDP National?

Eriokanmi:
Court dwells on evidence to adjudicate as you know. They all submitted a written letter with their signatures well appended to Fubara, ceasing to be members of the PDP. Even if they're not card carrying or registered members of the apc or any political party, the road is clear enough. That will be used against them.

It's just like you resigning from working with a company. Whichever company you joined or whatever you do with your life subsequently is none of your ex-empkoyer's business. You cannot resign and now want to come back to work. That letter you submitted is enough to nail you, should you wish to play smart.

When the supreme court said the law makers aren't members of the apc, the court was right. They're also not members of the pdp. The letters they submitted is a proof.

The building of the House of Assembly was already demolished by Fubara before the purported decamping of the law makers. That action angered the Supreme Court judges and they decided to punish Fubara for it.

Very stupid analogy...

It's just as basic as an age affidavit or state of origin affidavit.

Try swearing an affidavit that you are from Ekiti whereas you are from Kaduna.

They tomorrow say you were joking, and see if you don't end up in prison.

Show us in the constitution where an affidavit is the requirements for joining a political party or resignation from a political party.
Their names are still in the PDP register.

Or should I go to court and swear affidavit that I own your father's house and then kick everyone out?

Resignation letter
And application letter is what the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria recognizes as the procedure for leaving a party and joining a party respectively.
Affidavit can not work.
Affidavit doesn't work for every aspect of law.
The law makers know that. The affidavit was a plan B. Every politician including Fubara knows how he joined his party, he knows he didn't join by swearing affidavit.
It has never been heard that someone joined a political party by swearing affidavit....

What the governor should have done was to get the state executive of the party to suspend them for anti party activities.
That will make then move to APC via the due process then you can now hit them.
Fubara was puting the cart before the horse...

Young man, get knowledge understand the law and stop jumping around making noise because others ignorant fools are.

I thought they reserved judgement on the matter of defection according to what was reported
What is more amusing is Agim declaring that the courts don't have the power to declare seats vacant
Abegunde must be shitting bricks wherever he is now
Agim is not bright I regret to say. The constitution clearly says a member lose his seat when he defects and the attention of the speaker is called to his defection via evidence
Their defection notices were read on the floor of the House
Agim is summarily saying you can defect as long as your name is not in another party. In other words, independent caucus is allowed in the House undecided
