Funbara how far
Dem never leave you....??
Na hold bar for pocket , na e concern polithiefcians......
Funbara go really see himself in this 6 months
That's if he gets sense sha.

Fact checked me
No single ijaw senators voted against Funbara's suspension.
Mummy Jonathan talk say

Chaiiiiii
Na only you Waka come....?
Eeeehn
Funbara
Na only you Waka come.....

Voted against?

Where did you see voting?

Or did you watch a different television??

Ayes and Nayes, is that voting

Many boycotted the sittings if you don't know.

Besides Fubara's is mainly with the grassroots not those thieving billionaire senators or reps.

Daddyk87:
thank God not all Nigerians are daft. And you are one of the reasonable one amongst us.
Tinubu actually save SIM furara skin from wike Assembly men.
Good afternoon bro.

Both of you are the daft ones.

You guys keeps deceiving yourselves about impeachment.

You think impeachment of a governor rests only with the legislature??

People who were running helter skelter trying to get the Chief Judge on their side,, are they the ones that want to impeach?

They tried bribing him it failed.
Then they tried blackmailing him and age falsification it failed.

Na dem wan impeach?

TimeManager:
I'm sure Fubara would have put a call through to Mr President thanking him for saving him from being impeached, he would have sent some of his men to Abuja to prostrate before Mr President as a show of sincere appreciation for his magnanimity. First was Fubara's Chief of Staff, declaring for the Sole on behalf of Fubara, and now, another staunch member of Fubara's camp coming out to express for the State of emergency.
This has cleared all doubts as to give credence to Mr President 's decision, both sides are in agreement of the decision. Which means any other contrary opinion is only political. The coalition of opposition, the vultures and hyenas raising their unsolicited voices are only interested in scoring a cheap political score. If both parties are in alignment, then how can you being a stranger be crying more than the bereaved.
And to the online novices and rabble ros, you can now put your political and tribal prejudice to rest. It shows that you are no consequential in this debate. Peace is returning to Rivers State and obviously some bitter people do not like it. God bless Nigeria.



-Kiss the truth!

Lol

Someone tells barefaced lies, and at the end of all the gibberish he types, he writes -kiss the truth..

The biggest irony in life.

You guys keeps deceiving yourselves about impeachment.

Two months time, I see Wike fighting Ibas and planning to change him.

Tinubu was never and has never been a democrat.

He is just one of the elders of our country who were around and were politically conscious when man countries in the Africa and the world were transiting from military rule to civilian rule.

He became Lagos state Governor and had the entire state bowing before him and worshipping him.
He finished his tenure and became a kingmaker and godfather who still had tribesmen going to his home to worship him.

So over time he has developed the mindset of being worshipped and doballed for.

Now he's a President who must have his way by hook or by crook.

Everything he stood for in those years he was pushing for power, he has gone back on..

And it's clear that he's on his way to being Nigeria's most autocratic President ever in a democratic regime.

AntiWailer:



Shame on you and the chronic ignorance. In an attempt to act smart u want to think outside the box of Law. I wish that is how it works, constitution would be changing per second all in the name of 'silly' out of the box thinking. You actually acted but could not conclude the smart part.

Again before you droll with spits, Go and read,

Emergency Act is enshrined in every constitution in the world. It does not matter wether you like or hate who the power resides with.

The people who wrote the consitution, recognizes how powerful that power is and the check and balance are the same thing needed to IMPEACH A SITTING PRESIDENT.

2/3rd REP, 2/3rd SENATE

That is why there has to be agreement with the other arms of Government. Instead of u crying , just blame the Senate and House of Rep that endorsed it.

Mumu

I don't have any issue with emergency rule, it is sometimes necessary...

And in time of emergency rule, the exercises arbitrary powers, especially in security deployments..

BUT NEVER IN FINANCIAL AND BUDGETARY APPROPRIATIONS.


You don't tell me that because there is an emergency rule then the would receive the state allocation and spend it without ability to any group.

You think Tinubu is a fool for saying that the istration will be regulated by the FEC (of which is another illegality).

The FEC can never take over the role of the Rivers State House of Assembly..




And let me reiterate my point which many of you are too stupid to understand...

It is an aberration if the Supreme Court says that a Governor (who is even democratically elected), cannot spend money without an appropriation bill but a sole appointed by a President can spend money without appropriation because there is emergency rule..

It is a complete aberration, a charade, an absurdity, very preposterous.

Wike promised to that Sim will not have it easy in Rivers State if they touch his structure.

Wike said unpleasant comments about the Ijaw race and dared them to de anything about it.

Wike said not only Ijaw can destroy pipelines, Ikwere people can too, Etche can too, Ndonis can too.

Wike said if Sim is impeached heaven will not fall.

Wike said the newly elected LGA chairmen cannot be there


Wike has addressed close to ten press conferences making one inciting comment after another after another.


Yet that man at Aso Rock has never mentioned his name, always blaming Fubara for everything...

Tinubu's bias has been evident from day one!

You will hear them idiotic fools rush out now telling us how Sim violated the constitution, how he demolished assembly complex..

Then you have a President who paints himself as a democrat, who should set an example; violating the constitution indiscriminately..

Illegally suspending an elected Governor.
Swearing in a Sole even before approval from the Senate.

Then you have a Legislature, which decides to take us as idiots...

Using voice votes to determine 2/3.

AntiWailer:


Budget and spending is backed by what. ? "The Law and constitution. Which says the Governor must present to the house"

During State of Emergency, the President wields some crazy powers.

Try and read and educate youself.

If I were you , i will take time to google and check Presdential Possibilities during a State of Emergency instead of arguing like a blind man and an extremely ignorant person.

Separate Knowledge from the position u and read fact so u dnt d1e ignorant with empty head.

This is just the problem I keep having with you people.

You act like some robots who can't even reason proactively for yourselves..

All I keep hearing is "during emergency rule the President wields crazy powers"

Think out of that empty box in your head for a second and ask yourself why any leaders should have crazy or extraordinary powers under any guise in this 21st century.?

Little kids in China and America are reasoning and making progress in Inventions, Philosophy, Governance while old old men in Nigeria are still stuck in their old ways..

Shame on you!


No human leader anywhere in the world should possess "crazy" powers under any guise.

Not in this 21st century.

yinkus6750:
When a Senator is no longer Distinguished.
Mixing personal issues with political standing.
Obey House orders, don't drag constituted authorities for your misbehavior.

Which of the Senators is distinguished?

Ordinary to calculate 2/3 yesterday while the entire world watched they couldn't,,,

And started sharing dollars..


Distinguished? Are you kidding or what?

Wait oohh,,
Federal High Court set aside judgement from which Court?

A State High Court or another Federal High Court?

JASONjnr:
Probably to go and betray the governor there ....

Fubara, a serial betrayal.....

If you think of Nyesom Wike, and then you think of Sam Mbata, Good luck and Patience Jonathan, and Rotimi Amaechi..

You will not resist the urge to drop on your knees and give thanks for Sim Fubara..

Karma of betrayal came upon Wike, in the form of Sim Fubara..

Even Wike knows that the past 20 months have been hell for him.

casualobserver:


Are you really this daft? Did you listen to the declaration and the amendments It is because the system had broken that an emergency was declared!

You are changing the topic from no budget to oversight. A t committee of the house is responsible for legislative functions and oversight. This you would have known if your brain was switched on or. It overwhelmed by your emotions and bias.

Sometimes when you’ve made a foooool of yourself the best thing is to just run away instead of reappearing and digging a bigger hole!

They have released 400 billion to him today.

So which t committee sat on that?

Dey mumu your self.

AntiWailer:


Constitution can be suspended during State Of Emergency.

Go and read your Emergency Power Act.

What has constitution got to do with appropriation?

Even The military of IBB, Abacha worked with budgets..

Make una use una heads na.

Alexiiydon:
youre from the land of rising stupidity prove me wrong

See them.

Even Tinubu cannot spend 1 naira without appropriation yet one man will spend hundreds of billions in the name of sole and you see nothing wrong with that?

Even maximum rulers like Putin, Kim, Abacha had people who were pretending to do appropriations for them, lol.

Waste of fresh air!

MT:


You do not need anyone to make you understand.

Just get a copy of the constitution and understand the working of Government. Most of what you typed are assumptions.

I am not debating any constitution with you.

If anything, this shows that our constitution should be sent back to year 3000BC.

No sole or clown should ever spend money without appropriation and oversight..

Even Abacha, Idi Amin, Putin, Kim have people who pretend to oversight their spendings talkless of one nonsense sole .

This is not Uganda of 1837.

TimeManager:


Do you know the meaning of a Sole ?. And these are the set of youths wanting to take over tomorrow, it shows the decrepit level of our Educational system.


-Kiss the truth!

Rubbish,,,

You should rather agree that that sole stuff is an aberration,, an absurdity.

In any normal society there must be fiscal responsibility, ability and financial oversight..

In this 21st century you cannot release money to a sole to spend without anyone checkmating him.

Even Tinubu cannot spend money like that without appropriation and oversight by the house..

At worst the sole should be made to submit a budget to the national assembly during emergency rule.


I know some of you have lived here so long that your mentality is getting animalist but this is not an animal kingdom.

casualobserver:


This is what happens with poor education.

The operative phrase is “state of emergency”. To save you having to go back to school to learn this with 10-15 yr olds, it means the normal rules don’t apply. That’s why for instance your freedom of movement can be restricted during a state of emergency. Abi was it not the same civilian democracies all over the world you like to report to where curfews were imposed during the covid emergency?

Nigerian education is in a sorry state!

So normal rules don't apply for financial propriety, ability,, fiscal responsibility, and financial oversight?

😁😁😁

Another brainwashed dunce..

😁

Salewa97:
Who be this guy? Fubara no resemble governor at all.

E just dey look like person wey go sell garri for market.

E beta pas Okpebolo sha.

And I think Akwa Ibom central deserves better than an ugly randy lousy grandpa with numerous corruption allegations on his head, to represent them and also become the Senate President of the Federal Republic.

With each ing day you find yourself at a loss as to how to understand Nigeria..

You cannot release allocation to a democratically elected Governor who is working with a budget ed by 4 lawmakers under the logic that "those 4 lawmakers only represent 12 percent of the state"

But you can release allocation to a man who is not even from the state , appointed by the President, without even one single lawmaker to make appropriation.


I need someone to help me understand this..

Surely the Nigeria Constitution never could have contemplated this absurdity.

adioolayi:


It's not about being clever ..it is the law. Who announced defection and who has the power to tell that defection has happened.
The two answers are not ambiguous....The Speaker of the house and also Court of competent jurisdiction.

Next time... people will follow due process to the letter on the side of the law.

This is not emotions or sentiments

That's the point..

If this was a country and not a zoo,,
The speaker should have declared himself and his 26 ' seats vacant..

And in a case where he fails, the courts should have declared all the seats vacant.

But like I said, this is a zoo not a country..

*You announce your resignation from PDP during plenary on live television.
*You go to a Federal High Court to swear an affidavit on oath that you have dumped PDP.

And then you come back to tell the world that you didn't leave the party, you were joking..


And then we have normal human beings in this country defending them!!!

Wow, what a nation.!

adioolayi:


My conscience is clear...Wike is wicked...he stays on the right side of the law to fight his fights..

Let's start with Rivers State House of Assembly ..
The Governor erred in law, by rushing to demolish the house of assembly, after seeing the video of defection..he should have allowed them to sit and allow speaker announce their defection...then, he will approach the court to a call for the removal of their seats. This he should have done to be on the right side of law.

What did Wike did? Sending that the defected lawmakers erred by announcing on TV...He technically stopped them from defecting legally...they instead started denying their unofficial defection to remain on the right side of law.

Same with this PDP issue, NWC should have used internal party mechanism to remove Anyawu... instead, they rushed to obey a court judgement that lacks jurisdiction on internal affairs of the party. Somehow, the South South PDP congress organised by Wike will now be valid.

The Supreme Court has taught you people how to be clever by half.
Let me make this short so you could assimilate...

They didn't need to defect to APC. All they had to do was to announce their departure from PDP.
That is enough for them to forfeit their seats.
Announcing that they had left PDP, backed by a sworn affidavit,,,
THEY LOST THEIR SEATS.

And don't forget

The Supreme Court is fallible and has proved that very many times..

You don't even have to be a lawyer to agree sincerely that those guys actually left PDP and when they saw they trouble they denied it.

adioolayi:
Wike wins again !!!

The man Wike, somehow, picks his fight at the good side of the law....those opposing him usually rush things to be on the wrong side of the law..

Na wa for PDP oooo

I know you're on the Internet..

But can you seriously make this comment when you're alone with your conscience?

Quelme:
Dickson the cockroach thinks he has an opinion.

You just expressed your opinion but to you, Dickson is the cockroach who thinks he has an opinion!!

Funny world!!

Sonnobax15:

Make Dem go rest abeg . When the crisis between Fubara and the house was escalating,where were they all those while? ..

The truth is that,tho Tinubu's decision was kinda harsh, but it's equally the best ever........At least,by the 6 months time,the heads of both parties of wereys and that of drunkard Wike go don calm down...

They have their own work at the Senate.

Their work is not to be going to Rivers to settle quarrel.

Why do you people talk as if you're brainless.?

Orinechi:
If he didn't do anything, why didn't the supreme court rule in his favour? you are old enough not to speak up against the rascality of state governors and how they have reduced the sanctity of their respective state high court Then who has committed an offence? Is it the HOA who pursued their case to supreme court? Do you know what it portends for a court that doesn't have jurisdiction to entertain a matter? All these could have been avoided if the state high court had not entertain the matter.

Abeg you people should stop talking about Supreme Court as if it was led by Jesus Christ and Prophet Muhammad.

Do you think Supreme Court don't collect Ghana must Go?

Is it not the same Supreme Court led by a woman from Lagos state.?


Abeg rest, we are not children.


Stop quoting Supreme Court as if Supreme Court headquarters is in heaven.

Akpakomiza2:


Which court order told him to demolish the assembly

He is the governor.

He demolished part of the assembly complex which was rocked by a bomb blast.
It is the role of the governor to do this..


Not to forget that Rivers state was the demolition capital of the world between 2015 and 2023.

Do I need to remind you how many structures Wike demolished in 8 years?

It is the governor's duty.

Orinechi:
A court that never had jurisdiction over the case is what u are referring to

Says who?

Even if a court has no jurisdiction, you obey and challenge at a higher court.

You should be old enough to know this.

Fubara committed no offence.

Everything he did was backed by a valid court order..

Stop the useless propaganda..

I thought you were going to tell us the main agreements like

Choosing Chief of Staff for him
Choosing Chief Security Officer for him
Choosing SGF for him
Choosing commissioners for him
Paying 20 percent of allocations
Controlling LGAs for him

And so on

These are the main agreements which caused the problems.

Chukwudi4naija:
So your own definition of loyalty is committing the control and resources of a State to one man who can never accept such arrangement.

lol

I swear ehn,

Black man na curse, Black man na disease.


I don't know whether it's the skin colour or it's the hunger of that makes us this way.

Honestey:


.

Even if he doesn't have the right, once the Rep and Senate have ratified it, it automatically becomes law. As you can see, it's what just happened so Tinubu hasn't committed any offense. Let's move on, Fubara has been saved from certain impeachment thanks to Baba Tinubu.

These ones still defending clear constitutional violations.

So a voice votes is how we are supposed to get 2/3?

Orinechi:
So as a patriot that you claim, do u the ruling of the the River state high court that ask a governor to be working with 3 persons out of 31 persons in that house? If it were the other way, won't you shout that democracy is in danger? Which court of competent jurisdiction ruled that they have lost their seat? If the the supreme court had ruled as you said, are you saying it contradicted itself with the recent judgement on their defection? Renovation is not an offence but demolishing the entire building because you are not in good with majority of the assembly is a no- no. I think you read how supreme court berated his actions regarding that. The governor is not there by himself. And his power stops where that of the assembly start. He is representing the people like wise the legislative . Did he seek the input of the legislative who are representing their respective constituents before embarking on suck demolition? If President Tinubu demolishes the national assembly under any guise and ask the national assembly to be seating in Aso villa , will u deem it as okay? When an action favours the person you like his / her face, it is legal and when it doesn't favour him/ her, it is illegal.

If you know anything about law you would understand that the Supreme Court had no right to meddle into the issue of demolition because there was no court hearing on that issue.

The Supreme Court only worked based on a report one faction gave them.

Why do you think people are saying the Supreme Court was bought?
