Defection of Lawmakers: I'm not distracted by mellow drama. Am focused on delivering service to Rivers people. - Rivers State Gov, SIM Fubara

fergie001:


You are learning, ask your senior colleagues in trolling.

Since Edo 2020, very funny you.

Keep clowning with your lonesome Amigo.

SuccessfulRichi:



I swear to God it shall never be well with wike in this generation and next generation. For betraying patience Jonathan, amechi and others who made him governor. As for fubara God is winning this battle go back to ur huz and sleep

You must be one of the worst fools on earth to say that Amaechi made Wike a governor? Do you still take Mkpurumiri from your village?

Rivers mirror is an arm of Edison’s media. Let him go and sit in the assembly.

Rivers State of Golden Rule. Don't underestimate the power of a sitting Governor. Fubara isn’t a clueless coward as we see the coward Ambode instigating fear into his life instead of him to stand strong and win his war against Tinubu in Lagos State in 2018/2019 election year. Fubara winning his war with different tactics.

ExudeLoveToAll:



Everyone is behind our Governor now. We can't stand to see minister rubbish out homeland because of his selfish interest.

If Wike can take opinion polls now he will find out that 98 percent of Rivers indigenes loathe him with ion.

Wike is gone , he can only win elections when results are written in his house.

This is what I have been telling some folks here but they keep overestimating him and the power he wields currently.

Ameachi as minister was much more powerful and wielded more power than the power wike is holding at the moment

Seems whoever posted this is an illiterate or just wanted to create unnecessary tension.

It is an interim injunction which will expire after 7 days not a judgement.

engrsyer:
A judgment from a court is what you a stark illiterate is calling illegal?

Well, I won't blame you. What do I even expect from aboki shine my shoe?

You're chidish

Ask yourself whether there is division in the PDP at National level?

You sef, stop falling our hands replying who doesn't have sense nah!

Maize247:
Is this a speaker with 5 or the one with 27 because our judiciary can be fuuny

The moment the 27 defected to the APC they ceased being of Rivers state House of Assembly. In the days ahead, there seats will be declared vacant with INEC directed to conduct new elections to fill the seats.

They will learn the hard way.

Political ruggedity is the modus vivendi of the day in 9ja politics. Wike a student some day becomes a master.

BigBlackPreek:
This SIM no last as governor from his looks alone and the way he carries himself says it all.... Wike mobilized over 3k delegates with billions of naira For SIM governorship, all of a sudden he doesn't want to keep to agreement. person wey give you power nai go fit collect ham from you back anytime fvckup dey

See as u dey encourage bad thing brother.

Wike's men should never have decamped before the full case is concluded.

Wike dey do gra gra God dey Heaven dey laff am. Now God don turn Wike sword(Fubara) again him(Wike).
God no be anybody mate😂😂

Bobloco:


This is what I have been telling some folks here but they keep overestimating him and the power he welds currently.

Ameachi as minister was much more powerful and welded more power than the power wike is holding at the moment

Amechi wield zero power in Rivers as minister.
If moving in large convoys on occasional visit to Rivers is what you call power,
then you don't understand politics.

The power of executive governor is very large. As for wike, his political career might be over in few months.

SadiqBabaSani:
Rivers State wahala is gonna swallow Wike politcal career if not carefully handled. People hate ingrates as much as they hate godfatherism.

plat0:
Please read the documents you ed, nowhere is it stated that he was confirmed speaker, they just got an order from a favourable court and judge to enable the governor the budget in the government house, moreover, you need 2/3rd to be speaker, you also need 2/3rd to remove a speaker, and finally you need 2/3rd to form a quorum

Be speaking grammar there. 2/3 of 5 is 4. If others did not attend 2/3 is based on attendance. Quorum is simply amending house rule and kpichicum, budget would be ED.

Wike is also on his way to wielding zero power too

Kossyso:
This is politics to Nigerians but to a sane country, we are just behaving like animals. How can a Governor concentrate and deliver his mandate in this kind of heat coming from Wike? SMH...

Awon ti sane climes nor be for the same clime Donald Trump political thugs attack the Capitol (The USA house of senate complex) . Politics is a game of numbers, self-interest, intimidation and manipulation. If you can play dirty stay out of politics

Maize247:

Don’t mind them. 2 courts have already ordered Status quo should be maintained. I.e in favour of the 27.

Bobloco:

Then you should wait till the end of legal battle before giving Amechi imaginary powers that he never had.

Wow nairaland, how did you get this?

Madam it is the one with 5.

How many are in the house? Has the court made a pronouncements on tge validity of the sits of the lawmakers that defected? Please dont insult me if you can't engage politely, thanks.

kingsways:
The 27 are no longer of the House having left the party that brought them

The first thing the authentic speaker should do is to declare their seats vacant

doesn't work that way....have u not seen how lawmakers cross-carpet anyhow and still retain their seats. I have not seen any lawmaker or any politician lose their seat because they decamped

mrksquare:



The moment the 27 defected to the APC they ceased being of Rivers state House of Assembly. In the days ahead, there seats will be declared vacant with INEC directed to conduct new elections to fill the seats.

They will learn the hard way.

no court has declared their seats vacant, ifeanyi uba defected some weeks ago, has he stopped being a member of the national assembly?

Sim have been making drastic moves and that is why I fear for him
He made moves to change the Clerk of the Assembly.
He withheld the funds of the Assembly.
He has refused to commence the process of LGA elections with the intention of allowing their tenure to elapse in June next year.
He made moves to get the National Assembly to take over the functions of the state assembly.

Fubara keep winning the war hard.

IamAtikulate:

Edison is Fubara's boy

So in your view, 5 out of 32 can sack a Speaker and appoint another

No wahala ... so far, it's 1 : 1

fergie001:
In Summary,

1. Nobody should access the Rivers Assembly Complex until proper renovation is done by the Governor.

2. Nobody should use the Police to gain access to the building in whatever guise until the building is conducive enough for sittings.

3. Amaewhule & Dumle (Speaker & Dep-Speaker, let's say of Wike faction) should not interfere or disturb proceedings by Ehie Edison as he discharges his statutory legislative duties of summoning and holding meetings (functions of a Speaker), issuing notices, ing resolutions & bills.

4. If it is found that Ehie Edison has filed a frivolous suit, he will be made to pay N50m as damages.

5. The motion on notice alongside this judgement must be served by Ehie Edison-faction to the Amaewhule & Dumle at most tomorrow in persons or through substituted means.

6. Judgement adjourned until 21/12/2023.

PS: Ex-parte judgements ordinarily expire after 7 days unless re-applied for which will take another 7 days and no more extension whatsoever.

A temporary victory

There is as there's no substantive secretary
