Whitehorse:


What does the Constitution say? Constitutionally, Tambuwal is NO longer a member of the House of reps talk less of being its speaker. It is very clearly stated.

Does that mean the house of reps should be tear gassed? No.

All these problems are all avoidable, if politicians are not greedy, selfish and followed the rule of law.

The import of the current situation is that House of reps will be in limbo till after February 14th, 2015, which seems to be lost on a lot of people here...

Oga,which constitution are u referring to? So a man who was elected by his people to represent them is know longer a rep member because he defected to another party? I'll glad glad if u can tell us the section of our constitution u got ur point from.

Fools acting smart.

Whoever ordered this military display of force against Tambuwal has only given the lawless Speaker unwarranted public sympathy.

There are times to ignore someone until the cup is full and ready for harvest.

THE PRESIDENT IS DOING WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE AGES AGO!!! NOBODY WILL TORELATE THIS SORT OF IMPUNITY!!! IF ANYONE SHOULD BE BLAMED FOR THIS ,IT SHOULD BE THE JUDICIARY FOR DELAYING THE INTERPRETATON OF A VERY OBVIOUS PART OF THE CONSTITUTION.AS LONG AS THAT PROVISION IS STILL IN THE CONSTITION,IT MUST BE ENFORCED

A day will come when online applications will be able to assess the sanity of individuals before allowing them access!!!

In your case, the day has not come soon enough!!!

The TROUBLE that GEJ is PRICING, your OIL MONEY wouldn't be ENOUGH when the REAL PRICE SURFACES . My two penny

why are u inviting GEJ on this? is he a member of the house? is he the Police men that block the Tambuwal from ing the sitting?

I tout the president was clueless Hahahahha now he has too much clues and you people are shouting...... Politicians will learn from this Tambulwa knew he had no case that's y he withdrew the suit from court.... Let him go back to court and fight for his right!!! Stupid coward!

Jonathan is now behaving like Abacha.
He will either lose in 2015 or God takes him.
Just like Abacha.

I dont knkw howmuch I know about politics.but are you not forgetting something.the majority party in the hoise produces the speaker?so by vertue of him decamping.ho no longer belong to the majority in boise party.so he is no longer the speaker.no action needed to remove him

What does the law say? It said the from within themselves shall elect a speaker. The law never said such must come from the majority party.

Truth is Tambuwal cant have his cake and eat it. Since he decamped to the minority party in the house, he can on longer lead for the majority that carries the house. A leader without followers is simply going for a walk. No sentiments here

See as people full this thread,it shows the level of unemployment in this country. May sango bury anyone that quotes me negatively

vikyno:


Why don't you calm down?
They are two different scenario . House politics is different from state politics.

Mimiko brought labour party to Ondo state and the people accepted it. He later dumped the party and they still followed him to PDP. Majority of LP are now PDP in Ondo state. He is the progenitor and the leader of the party which made him switch with ease because his followers accepted it.

In Tambuwal's case, the Speaker can only come from the party with majority of the seat in the house. Since he seized to be a member of the party that forms the majority, then he has no right to continue as the speaker.

but mst he and the rest of the lawmakers be subject to intimidation,arrasment n teargasing movie.

watch our Ameachi gonna say something in a minute

vedaxcool:


Empty words, desist from quoting me any further, It is clear you want to argue over what you have little knowledge of!

The facts of the matter, Court stated unequivocally, Maintain the Status quo, if you cannot understand what that fact means and that they are well established ways of removing people from the national assembly, removing the speaker, declaring seats vacant then you are here spitting arrant nonsense!

No need to get insulting, i asked a simple question:

The question i asked initially is what does the constitution say? Answer that question first sir

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning, the worst is yet to come.. Politics of egos and might, sadly the Nigerian people are the ones bearing the spilt overs

The funny thing is I wonder what these paid APC trolls would do when Goodluck emerges as president again for second term.

Acidosis:
Whoever tries to make this country ungovernable for Mr President should be shot on site. Period!

listen to yourself. Does a boss have people stop him from making decisions.

Tambuwal is inside the house.
He stood against the devil Jonathan and won.
Thank God for such heroes in the APC.

SuperMartins:
u dey mad! U be slowpoke


Why is AIT n jxt APC..Nawa for did nation

What are you saying, your writing seems not to be conveying any meaning?

Tambuwal is simply reaping what he sowed. This is just the beggining. He aint seen nothing yet. Since he has decided not to apply common sense, he will have to contend with the problems he created for himself.

And this is the person Nigerians stood up for after the death of Yar Adua, this is a disgrace to the "rule of law" which he benefitted from. Gradually we are beginning to see the Wolf in the Sheep's clothing.

GEJ is the worst president ever in this country.
The world is watching.

smileandlove:
. Sir your assertion is wrong, the house elects for its self a speaker ie (1st among equals) and the speaker is from the house and NOT any political party. In other words, the elects who they want irrespective of the party. But what happens is that the party that has the majority will always win, because all will vote one person.

this is politics remove morality,since you can decamp enjoy the repercussion.

chukwudi44:


That is the best way to go!! he has been treating these fools with kid gloves which had emboldened them

Please who is this goat?

dtruth3:
And what was mr Former Speaker coming to do at the assembly? i think he should be arrested immediatly

...arrested for what?

I dey watch d film live on my nokia 3310, epsode ix

Mimiko decamped to PDP we didn't hear any noise about that, now Tambuwal decamped to APC hell is being let loosed.
Even if you say he is no longer the speaker, at least he is still a legislator.....or is it that he has been suspended all together by the police?

we should be reasonable in our arguments.

NL and abusive people... Na wa o.

Anyway, read up the constitution of Nigeria yourself. Its clearly stated there. Constitutionally, Tambuwal is NO longer a member of the House of reps! How can you lead an organization of which you are not a part of?

Its very clear and simple. The only leg he can stand on is by asking the court to interprete that part of the Constitution.

he is a useless fellow, u cant eat your cake and have[b]. he should have been arrested and thoroughly flogged by the soldiers before sending to prison to rot. look at his fellow dishonourable flying the fence.

Jonathan is the kind of man that will dance happily into his own grave.
