Can the president by the judiciary and suspend an elected governor?

Is this action by Tinubu constitutional?

What is this!!!

Jonathan was really very soft!




And he didn't declare state of Emergency in the affected States, even with the bloodshed. But Rivers has at least not recorded killings, yet he just handed it over to a military man




Your comment is off topic undecided

I wonder how most people write well but can't read and understand well.

It's not the first time there's been a pipeline explosion.
There wasn't any investigation as to the possible cause of the explosion.
The president just assumed that it was an act of sabotage.

Really?
Do you really think it's the best way to handle it?
@the bolded!
Really! So you're now the NSA to know that there was no investigation! You think the president will just come out to read a prepared speech that was not vetted!
Oga! We're all learned here! Let's talk like one.

If all those you called their names didn't respond , why not try fighting Tinubu yourself instead of hiding behind your cheap phone to type rubbish. Try nonsense and know why a president is called a president
SeraphicWind:
This was the plan of this criminal yoruba man all along.

Militants should never allow this to happen.

Ijaw people, you people are too weak for my liking. It was this criminal Tinubu that aligned with the North to remove your brother from power.

Igbos were warning you people but you never listened.

Now look at what this Yoruba man is doing with your collective destinies.

Bola Tinubu is pure evil.

Asari Dokubo, Tompolo and Boyloaf, are you people that weak?

Shake off that weakness and show this man shege banza. The most useless president since time immemorial.

Ijaw people, rise up immediately and defend the ijaw nation.

If Tinubu succeds with this nonsense, the hopeless man will become emboldened to go after other state governors. He wants everyone to kiss his fingers like a drug capone. God forbid!

Tinubu, you will and must die in Jesus name I pray. Amen. Yes I said it and I prophecy it. That Pharoah in Bola Ahmed Tinubu must die and with Tinubu and the both of them will go for judgement.

This dirty, crooked power grabbing man who is alleged to be a drug capon can't have any moral rights to Lord it over a people that feed the nation.

Ijaw by right is a sovereign nation.

This dirty Tinubu intervened in Lagos and crookedly, subverted a democratic process that impeached the house of assembly speaker. He brought him back.

Why not command Wike to leave Rivers alone? Tinubu, you can't silence everyone. Not everyone is afraid of you oo.

To us saints of God, you are a hell bound soul who must go for divine judgement and condemnation in Jesus name. Amen.

Just because of 2027, they are willing to crush a people and inflict hunger on the poor masses.

Nigeria is a very wicked country that tramples on the rights of its citizens

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it shall never be well with you in Jesus name. Amen.

You must die in Jesus name. Amen. Our weapon is fire brand prayers.

Every saint of God in Nigeria should pray. Pray. Pray. This is demonic. Tinubu is possessed by power demons. Pray for that pharoah in him to die.

Let this rivers issue be the seed that will supplant this useless and most hopeless Nigerian presidence.

Buhari is far better than this iddiot.


Power belongs to God almighty. God of vengeance will use Fubara issue to show his power in Nigeria.

Everyone involved in this mess will die with all the families. Their entire generations will be wiped out too in Jesus name. Amen.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I pray you die by fire and may the heavens show you that power belongs to God in Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.

Quite sad seeing some comments from people who are so shortsighted! The beginning of economic woes for Nigeria and possibly, ethnic tension between the Ikwerres and the Ijaws.You better stock your house because things will be extremely expensive
The people of Rivers state will be the biggest losers in all these all because of one man greediness.

The main trouble is about to start.

He could have just called wike to order.

Cos it seems like Tinubu has forgotten what it took Yaradua to beg those Niger Delta boys to put down their weapons.

But it seems Tinubu prefers to oppress Fubara a sitting Governor rather than call Wike to order.

Y IS ALL THIS HAPPENING UNDER TINUBU?



A CRIMINAL HAS NO REGARD FOR LAW, ELSE HE WOULD NOT BE A CRIMINAL.




WE HAVE HAD 4 PRESIDENT SINCE 1999, NOTHING LIKE THIS.


Obasanjo declared it in Ekiti State and removed Fayose as governor! Dariye of Plateau State was also suspended by Obasanjo. Not new.
Tinubu should have mediated again for the last time.

Wonder why tinubu cant sack wike. Wike can't brinf down this economy because of his selfish interest

All this is happening because tinubu knows he needs Wike to be able to rig Rivers state during the presidential elections
francotunsco: 8:13pm On Mar 18
Tinubu is indeed a master in this game of politics. Political pundits have postulated that the impeachment move by the Rivers state house of assembly is dead on arrival!

I thought as much too considering the need to win the heart of the attorney general of the state to get the impeachment done.

With this shocking emergency rule in the state, Governor Fubara is hereby automatically suspended! Meanwhile, Jagaban, while declaring the emergency status of the state categorically states that the judiciary is not affected. That means the impeachment proceedings has to continue since the House has already given notice of impeachment 2 days ago.

There is enough time to hear the impeachment case and there will be no single interference or interference based on incumbency on the part of Fubara.

Indeed, Fubara is a goner!

Pity?

I don't pity him.

He is the major benefactor of whatever high-handedness and godfather ism of former governor Wike! He wouldn't have become the governor in the first place if he didn't enjoy from the same Wike millions are brandishing as devilish!

Bye Fubara!

When it comes to politics of calculated personal interest, no Nigerian politician still alive is smarter than Tinibu. He outsmarted Obasanjo and Fubara.

Bro, those militants are not afraid of the soldiers. It is the implication of their actions that you have to project on govt revenue and the economy at this point.

This is not supposed to be a case of power muscle, but intelligent decisions that will benefit Nigeria holistically.
