By implication, the judgement of the High Court stands and it is final. The Martin Awaewhule led Rivers State house of Assembly is the only recognized house of assembly and it is wrong and unconstitutional to do any legislative business with any other faction other than the house recognized by law.

Again, when you withdraw your appeal at either the appeal or Supreme Court, it means you have accepted fully the judgement of the court of first instance. Those trying to explain this as nothing are simply trying to cover Fubara’s failure. The ropes are already tightening around his neck and it’s now a matter of time.

budget ed. Monies disbursed and spent. Why should sim be arguing about that ? You brown roofers too like night class 😂

aariwa:
budget null and void under which law?

4 people from a 29 man house of assembly cannot form a quorum to the budget of a state.

If their sits were vacant, the budget should have been held up until the seats are filled.

By the way who declared their sits vacant, INEC never mentioned anything of such?

richmond500:
I told people on the other thread that the dismissal has nothing to do with defection, they are calling me e-lawyer.
The defection case is in Federal high court in Rivers state, u may hear another news tomorrow that court has sacked Martins and his friends

leave illiterates, supreme Court could have striked it out because we are in 2025 not 2024. The supreme Court didn't say anything about defection so wike boys are not yet recognized

The people that ed that so called budget were they the legitimate persons by law, that is the question? whether the budget has been executed was not the issue before The Supreme Court of Nigeria.

blacknp:
Who approved the 2024 budget, were they the legal representatives that is the question of law that was before The Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Let's assumed it was illegally presented, what should be the fate of the budget when 2024 budget year has past and 2025 budget has been presented and ed as well? Do you know the meaning of a case being academic?

The legal/political battles in Rivers State are legion.



It's been a ding-dong affair since Fubara rose up against his political benefactor, HE Emperor Nyesom Wike aka The Wicked One.



Like a bird on a loose rope, Wike has continued to make Fubara dangle unsteadily.



Like they say in local parlance: pikin wey say him mama no go sleep himself no go sleep o.




Siddon look na dog name!

When an action is null & void ab initio, it never existed in the eyes of the law.

There are serious consequences for those criminals that ed that so called sham.

You are playing with Nyesom Wike in the court, you are fighting a shark in the ocean?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Face your Ekiti, Rivers is not your business

Truth is bitter that is why Nigeria remains the way it is. I am just an observer. Nearly all the self acclaimed Social critics today are pro government activists during Jonathan government.

In 1999 when our Democracy was very young Senators Wahab Dosunmu and Obanikoro from Lagos State decamped from Alliance for Democracy into PDP while Tinubu and all the instruments of governance in Lagos are in Alliance for Democracy (AD). Since that time up till Obaseki in Edo State and the present cross carpeting at the National Assembly. No problem but because it has to do with Rivers State even when officially they have not been itted into APC and there is no any official ceremony to that effect. Let us assume they have decamped, what happened to the previous people since 1999 till date and what would be the judicial interpretation given to those that are recently decamping at the National Assembly? Is it because it is from PDP or LP to APC and not the other way round as it used to be?

Gbenga Daniels, Chimaroke nnamani and many governors did that in the past. The constitutional lacuna on quorum have been there over the years and successive assemblies have been unable to fix it

U can only decamp by way of registration, they should go to their different wards, to see if their names are in the APC of .

If it isn’t there, then no case.

There is always a precedence, Fubara will be the case study for the future.

budget ed money disbursed. You well so ?

Youruba folks and night class 😂

I am not Yoruba, but it seems u have an inferiority complex, why assume so obnoxiously?

Kreesxxx:
These people keep deceiving Fubara and cashing out heavily before game over. Fubara needs to throw in the towel now. Withdrawing that case means accepting the judgement that he never agreed with. While never agreeing with the judgement he has ed another budget. Since he has ed another budget he would have followed the previous appeal in a conclusive end. You can't agree at one end of the judgement and fail to implement it. With this now he has by himself declared 2024 and 2025 budget illegal. The house now with Amaewhule being the speaker until the Supreme court rules otherwise can ask him to present the 2025 budget and if not complied could be a ground to initiate impeachment proceedings

You go explain tire the government has told you their position there is nothing anybody can do about it not even your God Tinubu

They have no case. Their names cannot be in the . Even if they have decamped, are they the first to decamp? They met all the judicial requirements for decamping. I cited the first case in 1999 of Senator Dosunmu and Obanikoro that decamped from AD to PDP while everyone in Lagos government up to Chieftaincy council, Local and grassroots were in AD, nothing happened. There have been several cases since then till date without any judicial upturn while must it now start from Rivers? They have forgotten Ned Nwoko enemies are waiting for Rivers judgement and Ned Nwoko is a Lawyer.

Your opinion doesn't matter the government of Rivers state has taken a position and Martin and friends know that no Court in Nigeria can reinstate them that is the Nigeria they created until after Fubara tenure

There is no court that has invalidated the declaration of Martins Amaewhule ground seat vacant, till then

Xisnin:
All these are grammar to confuse little kids.
The authentic house as of today is the 27 member block.

I read Fubara is trying to start the same case again from the high court
to use a friendly local judge to sack the 27 again.

Of course, the judgment will be overturned again in higher courts but
his ers say, he will just withdraw from the case and start again
in lower courts.

Well, that sounds nice in theory, but judges are not idiots to be played like fools
and Fubara will find out later.

If it is true, Fubara would have been impeached by now
Quit playing
You're too old for that

But assuming but not conceding that they decamped, those that give the Governor the right to a state budget with only 4 people from a mandated two third 20?

Isn’t that a Zoo? Who will accept such nonsense in 2025, even Wike itted that even though he did it, it doesn’t make it right.

Righthussle:
This people dey always get a different interpretation of court judgements.

You don't understand him, it's not about interpretation, he is just delaying the process, he has instituted another one in Rivers, by the time that one gets to supreme Court he will be in his final year of first tenure.

What he doesn't know is, that move should be a second term move, now all they have to do is wait for his a.ss in 2027.

Whether you like it or not in eyes of Rivers state government they have defected and that stands nobody can redeem them except Fubara is no longer governor.read the story again Martin and friends went to court for 2024 budget that is dead because we now have a new budget 2025 hence still talking about 2024 budget like the commissioner said is wast of time and academic exercise Martins can as well go-to court so that the 2025 budget should be presented to him

The Supreme of Nigeria has ruled today, The people Fubara recognized as the state house of assembly are not the legitimate , they played him 419.

Fubara is finished, the process of his removal has begun.

One common trend in this our current democracy is to give legalize illegality let's learn to call a spade a spade that you did something wrong and people keep forgiving you doesn't mean everybody will keep forgiving you there will come a day you meet someone who will say no enough is enough hence Fubara is on the right part I stand with him

Ok because u have spent the budget money without due appropriation, u cannot be held able abi?

U have already spent the money u stole without any oversight, so nothing anyone even the court can do?

All these explanation is not necessary. As it's for Fubara now his chances of continue being a governor is fifty fifty,if he agrees with this judgment and make peace with the 27 lawmakers,I believe the lawmakers may consider and continue working with him but if he still want to try his luck in order pending cases and he lost that may be the end of his governance because what the 27 lawmakers may be waiting for is for him to exhaust all the legal process before showing him the power they posses

Fubara na confirmed Mumu, a foolish puppet single handedly picked by Nyesom Wike.

Indeed he is a foolish puppet that has exhibited his stupidity for the whole Nigeria to witness.

A very ungrateful Ingrate, never undermine those that made u king.

Bobodee09:
Fubara is a clown honestly.

You appeal a judgment against you and few days to supreme court pronouncements on the case you withdraw.

Automatically it means you agree with the judgment against you nah.


In all of this I just pity river state people......there money is just being wasted on useless political battles.

Pity yourself

Did they ask for your pity?

What is yuor state money being wasted on?

I just dey pity the Fubara. All the money he's spending will be considered as EMBEZZLEMENT because the budget was not ed by the AUTHENTIC RIVERS STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

Alaye just dey spend money dey go, some of his ers will start jumping ship after this judgement because the only options they'll have is EITHER TO JUMP SHIP OR START STOCKPILING ARMS.

nd if the law decides not to recognise them of what significance is that. Ask contractors to return the money ?
