Chai!!

These people have collected agbado again

What is now the use of all these opposition in the House if a few grains of corn is all that is required to turn them over

Voice vote? This is patently illegal!! The constitution spells out 2/3! How can you confirm 2/3 by voice vote? Voice vote can only work for simple majority!!

Nigerian democracy is a joke

This is the ultimate wuruwuru.

I watched it a while ago,I knew it was abracadabra that was needed to get this thing through.My own concern is the economy of this country.If this state of emergency can bring increase in crude oil production,it would be good for everybody.

They used voice vote?

Are they joking?

It’s obvious the Senate might toe the same line.

Voice vote does not suffice in fulfilling the constitutional requirement for 2/3rds of HoR

The courts should strike it down, if they haven't been bought over

Speaker Abbass knows there's no way on earth he gets the required 2/3

To save face and remain in the good books of druggie, carries out an unconstitutional voice vote. How did they get 2/3 with the yehs and nays?

More like throwing the SHITBAG back to Balablue and the Judiciary grin > grin

If you Fubara's illegality and oppose Tinubu's own illegality, you need to have your head examined

Another bad precedent has been set again. The NASS has been part of the history behind the abuse of democratic and constitutional processes in Nigeria. Hence the karma will not spare any of them now or in time to come.

coolSeems it's just a formality to converge.. Anything from the Presidency is always an automatic rubberstamp.
