The house of representatives has approved President Bola Tinubu’s request for emergency rule in Rivers state.

The seal of approval for the president’s proclamation came via voice vote during plenary on Thursday.

The Cable

Chai!!

These people have collected agbado again

What is now the use of all these opposition members in the House if a few grains of corn is all that is required to turn them over

Voice vote? This is patently illegal!! The constitution spells out 2/3! How can you confirm 2/3 by voice vote? Voice vote can only work for simple majority!!

Nigerian democracy is a joke

This is the ultimate wuruwuru.

How can you use a voice note to decide 2/3 of total members of NASS. The country has entered one chance 🤦🤦🤦🤦

I watched it a while ago,I knew it was abracadabra that was needed to get this thing through.My own concern is the economy of this country.If this state of emergency can bring increase in crude oil production,it would be good for everybody.

They used voice vote?

Are they joking?

It’s obvious the Senate might toe the same line.

yes. Very bad

Thank you Tinubu for your early intervention.

This is what happens when you allow a criminal to become president

Lol🤣🤣🤣

I didn't see this coming

Unconstitutional!

God these are the sets of people that will tell you the western world policies are not good for us ! Can you look at how they can’t emulate the western world ways to do things right !
They constantly violate the constitution for us to know we can’t do anything wow !

Voice vote for emergency rule, JOKERS!
It will be challenged in court.

Voice vote does not suffice in fulfilling the constitutional requirement for 2/3rds of HoR

The courts should strike it down, if they haven't been bought over

Speaker Abbass knows there's no way on earth he gets the required 2/3

To save face and remain in the good books of druggie, carries out an unconstitutional voice vote. How did they get 2/3 with the yehs and nays?

More like throwing the SHITBAG back to Balablue and the Judiciary >

Most of you commenting dont have sense,so the govt. should wait till there is chaos and killings before declaring it.

If you support Fubara's illegality and oppose Tinubu's own illegality, you need to have your head examined

Before the case is concluded six months if not a year would have passed.

This only happens in a country where a criminal drug cartel man becomes the president.

Naija don cast.

Never in doubt.....na only obedients nor sabi politics.......naija politics na turn by turn

Not suprised

Chai
Zoo happenings!

What are the numbers? How did they vote?

IPOB AND OBEDIENT HOW FAR ,.
MAKE I UPDATE LIVE SCORE
Wicked wike=20
IPOB = -20
ATIKU. = -20
UGOCHINYERE =-20
EL RUFAI. =-20
FALANA. = -20

TINUBU IS ALWAYS ONE STEP FORWARD. UNA GO WAIL TIRE

Another bad precedent has been set again. The NASS has been part of the history behind the abuse of democratic and constitutional processes in Nigeria. Hence the karma will not spare any of them now or in time to come.

Seems it's just a formality to converge.. Anything from the Presidency is always an automatic rubberstamp.

House of rep no go hear word.

They just approved like that.

What was you expecting, fake neighbors of river states don’t want peace for them. Na eye service dem dey do.

We progressive want peace hence why we were proactive
