So... Only PDP lÍves §hoÚld be sÉÇu®ed.

APC life's shouldn't be secured.

Or what is the message?


Mtcheew.. Abuse of Power

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely..

Let's say the truth to ourselves.. GEJ is corrupt.

karlmax2:
labour party is free to fight their case if your in labour party u can start the process.

the constitution is clear but are you saying that it's the party that fight and it's no longer the I.G? and that there is a process to that effect?

Can you pls tell about 'the process' ? thanks

sergiozlatan:
1) We now have two factions of the Governors forum.

2) Rivers State House of Assembly complex is on 'lockdown'.

3) Edo State House of Assembly is experiencing same as number (2).

4) Five(5) is greater than sixteen(16).

5) Sixteen(16) is greater than nineteen(19).

7) Police has started interpreting constitution.


Now my questions,
1. Why is it that anything that goes against PDP is the wrong thing but if it is their favour, then it is right?

2. Can someone show me where the constitution states that the speaker of the HOR must come from the majority.

3. Is it bad if the executive members are from PDP and then the opposition controls the HOR?


We might end up having two factions of the HOR. No insults please.

None.....only by convention and precedence.

I have a question for those touting Ikedioha as the automatic Speaker to show us where the constitution says the Deputy speaker steps into the Speaker's ofice if the Speaker vacates office.

....Long overdue, that should have been done immediately he pronounce about his cross carpet to APC.

Now I wish I am a lawyer during this election period, is time to make good money from these politicians.......


Congratulations to our new speaker Emeka Ihedioha.

GEJ till GMB apply for Nairaland super moderator salary job.

please don't quote me to avoid what happened to the guys on the other thread happening to you right away, if doubt quote me and see.

So people should stop talking about majority/minority rubbish

sergiozlatan:

They do that out of ignorance.

chukwudi44:


Bros ihedioha does not need 2/3 votes to become speaker. The constitution is very clear on that. He automatically becomes speaker when the office becomes vacant as is the case now.

This is the part where i love this country called Nigeria. During the Stealer Oduah BMW scandal i remember how u defended her with all ur strength. Watch and see if PDP Northern Reps will allow Emeka sit on that Chair, they will rather allow Tambuwal serve out his remaining tenure while PDP goes to court till May 2015.
Legislative business is a game of numbers and until PDP can muster the necessary votes (Which i dont see happening) they can resort to all sorts of intimidation but Tambuwal remains speaker until....

1. That nothing happens in d case of pdp means d opposition is not pressing charges. Maybe they dnt ve competent advocates or they dnt knw enuf of d law to prosecute d erring parties.
2. Dnt knw if the constitutions states dat but logically, wen u ve more members of the majority in d house, do u expect to ve a speaker frm d minority?
3. It is not bad but may not be safe.

tolustx:
Sue them to court now. Or tell ppl in position to do dat. Simple! The post of speaker is way too sensitive to toy wit it lyk dis.

am afraid nigerians does not have any future to look on to if we the youth can not uphold what is right.

Dear Mr Chukwudi44 I think you shud goan read d constituition well read indepth and see precisely section 50(2) then you would see that tambuwal can't be touched and is still the speaker of the house..

[Quote author=chukwudi44 post=27579192]The Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, hinged the withdrawal of Tambuwal’s security aides on Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.

Statement reads, “In view of the recent defection by the Right Hon. Aminu Waziri Tanbuwal, CFR, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, from the People Democratic Party to the All Progressive Congress and having regard to the clear provision of section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, the Nigeria Police Force, has redeployed its personnel attached to his office.”

http://www.punchng.com/news/tambuwals-security-details-withdrawn/

(The reason is because) Aminu Tambuwal is no longer the speaker of the federal house of reps as per section 68 of the 1999 constitution. All hail the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. Anyone dissatisfied with this can go to court. Congratulations to Emeka Ihedioha, the new speaker of the house of reps[/quote]

Nonsense!!! Arrant Nonsense,
This IGP is just taking laws into his hand,,has the house impeached himhas the court declared his seat vacant,,,why can't the same thing be done to Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo who recently decamped to PDP.
One of the reason I don't like this PDP's government.
GEJ was my candidate in 2011,,time to correct my mistake.
Btw,wat does the constitution quoted says,,,the second paragraph gives room to decamp bt only on the ground that there is conflict or faction in d party.
Presently in sokoto there is faction in PDP,,,so why is the IGP taking laws into his own hands?

oga, that provision doesnt apply to Governors in the executive but rather to the parliamentarians in the state and federal houses.So no mimiko comparism. And what is happening in sokoto PDP is not such type of division as envisaged in the constitution.The police should enforce the laws,thats their primary assignment.

Impunity

Is because of people like you that we are where we ar as a nation,do u mean to said mimiko do nt come to power under a political party?

Donphilopus,i hope the bad luck that has now become the companion of APC hasn't rubbed off on your business?
You people need to be pitied rather than be villified.APC has done you more harm than good,don't you think so? Take heart bro

donphilopus:
Why would they withdraw his Security?! Anyways, withdrawing his security doesn't mean anything, after all they once withdrew Amaechi's security. That doesn't still change the fact that PDP is a sinking ship and that Jonathan is going back to Otuoke come 2015.

BTW, who's the lazy fellow that moved this hocus pocus to the Homepage?! I read through the write-up, but never saw anything like “He's no longer the Speaker” in the source the OP provided. Instead of banning the OP for misleading Nigerians, the nitwit rewarded the OP by moving his stale thread to the homepage!

Pls PDP don't make life thougher for ur opposition

PDP asks court to remove defecting
governors
DECEMBER 12, 2013 BY IHUOMA CHIEDOZIE,
ABUJA
The Peoples Democratic Party has asked an
Abuja Federal High Court to sack the five
governors who defected to the All Progressives
Congress.
The governors are Alhaji Murtala Nyako
(Adamawa), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Aliyu
Wamakko (Sokoto), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano)
and Abdulfatai Ahmed (Kwara).
The Independent National Electoral
Commission was listed as a defendant
alongside the governors in the suit filed on
behalf of the PDP by Alex Izinyon, SAN.
PDP argued that the governors should be
sacked from office on the ground that, because
of their defection, they have forfeited their
offices, which, as a result, have reverted to the
party.
In the event that the five governors are sacked
from office, PDP wants the court to order the
deputy governor or speaker of the state Houses
of Assembly of the affected states, or any
officer next in rank, who is still its member, to
assume the office of governor.
PDP is asking the court for several reliefs,
among which is a declaration that by the
combined provisions of sections 177 (c), 221
and 222 (c) of the 1999 Constitution, the five
governors, who were elected under its platform,
cannot continue to enjoy the mandate given to
it (PDP) by the people/electorate of the
concerned states as they (governors) have
defected to another political party.
The court was equally asked to make a
declaration that in the absence of any division
in the PDP, the five governors have vacated or
forfeited their seats upon their defection to the
APC.
Also, the Abuja FHC was asked to make a
declaration that, by the combined provisions of
sections 87 of the Electoral Act 2011 (as
amended), and sections 177 (c), 221 and 222 (c)
of the 1999 Constitution, the offices of the
defected governors have reverted to the PDP.
In the same vein, the court was asked to make
a declaration that, by the combined provisions
of sections 177 (c), 221 and 222 (c) of the 1999
Constitution, upon the defection of the five
governors, the mandate reverts to the deputy
governor or speaker of the state houses of
assembly of the respective states or any officer
next in rank who is still a member of the PDP.

Nonsense. You clearly do not know what you are talking about.
The position of speaker of the house goes to a member of the political party that has majority rule in the house. Is APC the major party in the House? You can not be the speaker and be part of the minority party. Correct all the rubbish you wrote up there ASAP

chukwudi44:

ask the policeman,he will said iam only complying with the order frm above,untill they remove him thru a simple majority,tambuwal remain the speaker and nobdy cn do anythng about it,lets watch and see.

hardywaltz:
The function of the Police is not to interpret the provisions of the Constitution, that is the exclusive preserve of the Judiciary.
That said the section which the Forces Public Relations officer quoted has to do with Tambuwal's eligibility as a legislator which is a matter currently before the courts.

In the eyes of the law Tambuwal is the substantive speaker of the house until he has been removed in accordance with the provisions of the CFR as amended.

However if PDP is confident that they control the votes of the house, let the Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha reconvene the house; (3/4) members need to sign the notice of extra - ordinary meeting and 2/3 majority is needed to form a qurom. And formally commence impeachment proceedings against the Speaker.

PDP knows it can't muster the needed votes so they have resorted to self help which is equivalent to Jungle justice.

You need only 1/3 to form a quorum according to Section 54(1) of the constitution of Nigeria as amended

Nigeria - ''where there is no law, there is no sin''



The worst thing that can happen to a nation is when its people, especially the younger generation lose hope in that same country.

BOAR:

I have a question for those touting Ikedioha as the automatic Speaker to show us where the constitution says the Deputy speaker steps into the Speaker's ofice if the Speaker vacates office.

Section 53 subsection 2 of the 1999 constitution

Section 50(2)
The speaker or deputy speaker of the house shall vacate his office:
A). If he ceases to be a member of the house as the case may be or otherwise by any reason of a dissolution of the house.
B). When the house of which he was a member first sits after any dissolution of that house or;
C). If he is removed from office by a resolution by the votes of 2/3 majority of the members of that house....

Toktee:
ask the policeman,he will said iam only complying with the order frm above,untill they remove him thru a simple majority,tambuwal remain the speaker and nobdy cn do anythng about it,lets watch and see.

Bros Tambuwal has already been removed abi u still de mars

felony101:
I am not a politician but @least I know a deep depth of the constitution through law.... [b]The speaker [/b]deserves no right to be stripped of his securities. Mr IG d section quoted why didn't u make it known n understood to us.. Now lemme ask a question mimiko dat decamped to PDP was der noise? No his security is even tighter by d PDP let's stop supporting corruption

Exactly, the SPEAKER deserves no right to be stripped of his securities. THe SPEAKER, THE MORRAFACKN SPEAKER.
Answer this - Is he still the SPEAKER? Simply answer = NO.
The speaker CANNOT be a memeber of the MINORITY PARTY. This is how it is done all over the world. Nigeria is not an exception. The position of speaker of the house is assigned to a member of the majority ruling party in the house. CASE CLOSED.

EbolaParasite:

If they (pdp) is the majority,the right thng to do is to impeach the speaker,but let me tell you,in trying to impeach the speaker,then and only then that you will truely knw the pdp members in the house of reps,look,pdp is gone for gud,is bitter but take it pls

karlmax2:
this what the ig means

section 68. (1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member if -

Then

(g) being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected;

Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored; or

An edo serving senator decamped from APC to PDP in the senate, and nothing was heard of it. I'm sure he got extra security details. Law for some indeed

Bcole:
Section 50(2)
The speaker or deputy speaker of the house shall vacate his office:
A). If he ceases to be a member of the house as the case may be or otherwise by any reason of a dissolution of the house.
B). When the house of which he was a member first sits after any dissolution of that house or;
C). If he is removed from office by a resolution by the votes of 2/3 majority of the members of that house....

Ode go and read section 68 and come back here and tell me what you found
