My dear brothers and sisters, of the Labour Party in the National Assembly,

Since your inauguration as Distinguished, and Honorable of the National Assembly, I have refrained from interfering in your legislative affairs out of respect for your independence and to allow you to focus on alleviating the suffering of the Nigerian people.

However, at this critical juncture, following 26 years of a deteriorating democratic process marked by disregard for educational qualifications for electoral positions, massive rigging, and now the unconstitutional removal of elected officeholders, I find it necessary to address you. These unconstitutional actions have far-reaching negative implications for our democracy and the will of the people.

I urge you to stand as true defenders of justice. Do not participate in or any action, decision, or vote that compromises the integrity of our democracy, undermines the interests of the people of Rivers State, or contradicts our core values of fairness, equity, and transparency.

We must not allow ourselves to become instruments of injustice or contribute to the betrayal of the people's mandate. At this moment, we must prioritize what is right over what is wrong or convenient, remaining steadfast in defending the well-being of the people of Rivers State.

Together, let us stand firm in our resolve — because a new Nigeria is possible!

-PO

While still agonizing over the ongoing deterioration of democracy in our nation, especially with the situation in Rivers State, and trying to reach out to our National Assembly not to and sustain the unconstitutionality and arbitrariness, I just heard that they have added salt to injury by using a voice vote to the illegality .

The Constitution is clear that this cannot be done through a voice vote but by calling individuals to answer 'yes' or 'no.' You cannot determine a two-thirds majority by a voice vote.

While a two-thirds majority is crucial, it does not justify bying proper procedures and undermining the principles of transparency and ability.

The use of a voice vote in such a significant decision not only disregards constitutional requirements but also erodes public trust in the democratic process as well as the transparency and integrity of the National Assembly.

Decisions of such magnitude must be made with integrity, following the letter and spirit of the law. It is disheartening that a decision as crucial as approving an emergency proclamation, one that could alter the course of the nation has been handled with such casual disregard for constitutional standards.

The 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) clearly requires that such a proclamation must be approved by at least two-thirds of all of each House; the Senate and the House of Representatives. A simple call of "Aye" or "Nay" cannot accurately measure this crucial threshold.

When a supermajority is required, it demands a recorded vote, whether by division, roll call, or electronic means. This isn't just a technicality; it's a matter of law and legitimacy.

The Senate Standing Orders and House Rules were established to ensure that decisions of this magnitude are made transparently, with ability. Ignoring these procedures is not just an oversight; it is a betrayal of the democratic process.

A voice vote for such a critical matter is not just insufficient; it's a dangerous precedent. If we can bend the rules so easily, what stops us from undermining other pillars of democracy?
Today, it's a voice vote on a state of emergency, tomorrow it could be a voice vote on citizens' fundamental rights.

It is painful to think that of the National Assembly, who swore to uphold the Constitution, could participate in a process that sidesteps the very essence of due process.

We must ask ourselves: If the law no longer anchors our decisions, then what does? This is not just a flawed procedure; it is a warning signal. We cannot afford to keep gambling with the soul of our democracy. -PO

Obi is putting the cat before the horse

"...I urge you to stand as true defenders of justice. Do not participate in or any action, decision, or vote that compromises the integrity of our democracy, undermines the interests of the people of Rivers State, or contradicts our core values of fairness, equity, and transparency.

PO.

Peter Obi don dey use grammar to beg them to do the right thing.

They should just tell him they are not interested in his LP anymore.

How many LP candidates are left in HA and HoR
The only reason PO got so many votes outside his SE base is because some Christians think they will be persecuted under Muslim/Muslim tickets now that their fears are allayed Christians enjoying even more under the dreaded Muslim Muslim ticket (ask Southern Kaduna people)
The PO will be so irrelevant in 2027 and any politician that aligned with him no matter how liked he is Buhari, Tinubu, El-Rufai will failed

Screw all the LP NASS . Posterity will never be kind to all of you. The facts remains that actions come back to hunt and they hunt real bad.

It is on record Peter Obi appealed to the conscience and soul of these rogues that have been bought over by the "grab it, snatch it and run away with it" crook? What else do you expect?

Guess you saw how he bamboozled the LSHOA into accepting Mudashiru Obasa back with executive fiat and impunity? Guess this is the system you dearly loved? Continue!

You would like that , wouldn't you?

Clown.

Lol


No one listens to this fraud


Someone who benefited from Obasanjo's excesses in Anambra during the Ngige battle with his estranged god fathers in the form of the Ubah brothers


If not for Obasanjo and Uba brothers wanting Ngige out by all means for violating their Okirja shrine brokered agreement , will this fool had been installed as governor by a crooked supreme court ruling that was ordered by Obasanjo to have Ngige out of office by every means possible ?

Obi is a product of executive rascality committed by Obasanjo to remove a duly elected Ngige through corruption of the courts so as to satisfy the godfathers of Anambra PDP.

The few remaining LP legislators no send your fraud .

Peter obi got over 6 million votes, winning atleast 12 states in 2023.

All those LP in the NASS rode on his wings.
He doesn't need them. They need him.

Whether you like it or not, Your tinubu will test his popularity against him in 2027 again.

I get am before no be property

He will be lucky to get up to 5% votes outside his yeast come 2027

An F9 merchant in WAEC-GCE is talking about "educational qualifications".
If Lienus had not lead a govt before, we would be thinking he has the capacity to transform the society because of his Ioud mouth, unfortunately, his faiIures as a governor is glaring and crying out against him.

Just confirmed this quote on his page....a lesson to all the young people out there, don't allow people to push you to fight a bully, if you want to fight one make sure you are fighting him from your own freewill, because the ones that push you will be the same people to desert you and say you are doing too much.

I personally have fallen in this trap enough times and learnt the hard way.

Because tinubu has been an outstanding president.?

Nigerians are now living in luxury, food is cheap, and security is now top notch.
Everybody is happy with tinubu, and standard of living is now comparable to Botswana.
The Poverty rate is also now below 2%.

That must be the reason why you think obi would perform poorly than in 2023.
