Rivers: 27 Lawmakers Have Automatically Lost Seat, Any other Agreement is an Aberration - Adegoke 

Arise news finally brought someone who gave an honest and unbiased analysis- with rooms to provisions .

This man is very sound and truthful

Arise tv should hold unto this man for future unbiased discussions

Amechi and Tonye Cole will not even accept them into APC. So they are in big trouble. They have destroyed their political careers with their own hands.

The hand of God is what makes this law makers to defects to APC. If not Fubara for be in hot soup by now. God just want to tell wike that his God

His Lordship Adegoke SAN is a man of integrity hand of God is on him.

Wike will go down politically amen

Imagine if this Sane Attorney is appointed to the Nigerian Supreme Court. But the evil demons will never allow this talented, sane, good man to be in such entity. May God bless you sir. Truth is as pure as snow

SAN Adegoke, thanks for your honest contribution to this discuss.

I thank you, for saying thr truth,You are a San.

This is absolutely greed. You sold a house to a friend you packed out of the house and you came back to reclaim the house that you already sold to your friend that is criminal.🤡

This man can defend his profession anywhere, he calls a spade a spade.

This are the type of people this country needs to be in power rather than the ones there now

The first time seeing SAN standing for the truth and being sincere about his speech not trying to turn the law upside down . God bless you sir 🙏

These man his speaking the truth and I like him for saying what is right no minding they are one of them joining the APC

You're Really a Man of God! May you increase in Truth in Jesus name

Very unbiased commentary... God bless you Sir.

This is truly a learned SAN. Very truthful. When I hear people like this I know Nigeria still has hope. Wike has fallen into the bottomless pit he dug for Rivers State.

Very soon wike will be a story just like amechi

Thank you Mr Adegoke. You have proved that education is not a scam and I hope our young people will listen and appreciate the power of learning 👍

Dr Abati, it is the responsibility of the executive to enforce the law. This is what the governor has done. So the 27 lawmakers should approaxh the court if they are injured by the executive action

What I don't understand is why these former law makers are disturbing the peace of the state. I am told that they left on their own, by their, own, with their own. Did the Governor use juju on them? Please enough is enough. INEC should do the needful!

Foolish jide should listen to this man,,this is how really man talk unlike jide who always base his judgement on nepotism and favouritism, he already sold his reputation base on poor judgement

God bless you man of God for saying the truth.

My desr Ayo, Tinubu intervention was never peaceful intervention but aggevated the problem. This is because Fubarac was forced to sign all that benefited Wike and APC.

The court allowed all kinds of illegalities during last election,hence politicians think they can do anything and get away .Akpabio , lawan ,przdent, their illegalities was aided by the court then has breeded impunity ,so let the judiciary correct what it started

Very objective analysis.

Look at the dressing of the SAN, which is a very honourable dressing of a professional and perfect gentleman

Excellent in defending democracy without political affiliation sway.

Most intelligent analysis I've heard in a long while, God bless you Mr Adegoke SAN

Well understood and may God bless senior advocate Adegoke for saying nothing but the truth, this kind of man should be at the top in our judiciary.

Is there democracy in Nigeria? Do we have courts in Nigeria? Has Tinubu not totally crushed the rule of law in Nigeria?

God bless the SAN

It's only God that will bless this man for his unbiased and sound view over this matter

Thank you SAN. God bless you real good for saying the truth 👍👍👍. They should allow Fubara to govern the state because the people are happy with him. God bless our governor

PLEASE DONT PITY OR FEEL FOR THE DEFECTED LAW MAKERS THEY ARE NOT THE POOREST OF THE POOR IN NIGERIA OTHER PEOPLE WHO WILL BE READY TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO WORK

Adegoke Kunle San. Is right and he spoke so well. Those 27 former members are no more legislature it's illegal to operate themselves as assembly members. I think Governor Sim Fubara is right to changed the venue. Because as the Chief Security officer of his state. He's acting according to his security details. Fubara must never compromise his stands because he's dealing with those who has no respect or regards to law or the constitution. Otherwise they'll never had decamped without knowing what the constitution says about their actions. But they do not care.

Lawmakers who don't know the law. We are in trouble. We have lawmakers who don't know that defection means lost of seat and they still went ahead and did it. Nigeria!

Apt. At least there is one remaining normal APC member. God bless and keep you SAN.

Now that the constitutional sitting place of of the Legislative Assembly is not available for use, where can the legislative business be conducted?

Abati will never be on a truthful lane.

Why is Wike parading himself as the god of River State. Is he the first governor of the State? Can't somebody call him to order? Thank God he's a minister, what else does he want? The world is watching.

Wike disintegrated PDP and partially moving towards disintegration of APC...N. W is on a mission...! APC be wise!

For the first time, truth and honesty!

SAN, your analysis in this case is simple and honest... even a layman can understand you better because the truth was spoken.

Ayo is beautiful in green,true daughter of the motherland..😊

This issue has been lingering for decades without any soluction, is it that we don't have a functioning constitution or people are bent to tell the world how lawless we are, it is very unfortunate.

God bless you sir for your honest analysis

God is wonderful

I am always glad when lawyers speak on the law and not on technicalities. Thanks to this SAN for standing on the side of the Law.

Am sure Dr Abati would have been disappointed by the response of learned council. His tone tell his position but we are grateful for men who can tell the truth without bias. No need to reinterpret a care already exhausted to the Supreme Court. Rivers has only 3 legitimate lawmakers as at today. That is the position of Law. Shikena

What about Governors defecting from other party's to APC, eg, Rochas Okorocha from APGA to APC? Why didn't Court in Nigeria prohibit governors from retaining their governorship position after defected? Why did APC just came and destroye Nigeria?

This SAN is very sound. So honest and straight forward. Constitutionality should be maintained

Finally, we have an honest adult in the room. Such an unbiased analysis is currentlt so rare in Nigeria. God bless you honorable SAN. It was so refreshing listening to you..❤

Thank you sir for your unbiased analysis. God bless n keep you for us.

Insightful!

Abi oh Rufai! Ask them oh! When illegalities have been approved from the top in Nigeria; who get mouth to be talking about upholding any laws, rights or constitution! The mess is from the top! Let’s stop wasting our saliva! All the chief injustices in Nigeria are to be blamed for the suffering upon the masses in Nigeria and the wrath of God will visit them and their lineages

Very unbiased analysis.

No constitution , no democratic Nation. The constitution must be UPHELD if our COUNTRY must attend Nationhood. This situation needs no political solution but strict adherence to the constitutional provision tangential to the issue astake.

Na dis type need to be judge in nigeria I swear he will say it d way it is .... good man ..ur kids will be proud of u sir

Truth is straight and simple.Dr Abati is confusing me sometimes.

I pity APC , because Former governor will also destroy their party as he has done to PDP

Dr Abati, is on the wrong side of this issue. No man is perfect.

I Like this rufai I like the raw question

Sound legal analysis in relation to the ongoing political crisis

Another Angel from the bar...God bless You Sir! 🇳🇬🙏

This section of the law ought to have applied when speakers, members of the house of representatives, and Senate were defecting enmass in the last dispensation. This should be sustained, in a bid to grow our democracy. From Goke Awoyemi.

A man of integrity has spoken!!!

Thanks Mr Adegoke SAN. For speaking the truth

Well explained. God fatherism and greed are problems of Nigeria. The earlier we destroy the evil the better for Nigeria. Well done Arise TV.

Wike is the culprit here, he is the one causing confusion.

rufai will a good question,,,always top notch

Please, I need some education on these issues. How come legislators can leave and not keep their seats, but Governors can do the same and keep their position?.

The contributions from Mr Adejoke SAN is amazing

Let Abati hear every precepts from this legal luminary

God bless u Sir, for saying the truth to power

😂😂😂 Chaiii Lawmakers done dey sacrifice Donkey 🫏 and horse 🐎🐴 ooo😂😂😂 Naija funny diaaa

Dr Abbati,please let follow the constitution,pl therebis no need 109 has said it all,as the 27 law maker defect, the court will putit to them it is clear, they have lost thier seeat

The problem with Rivers government is not only political rascality. The whole is as a result of the stolen mandate of the Labor Party which the criminals are find it difficult to divide the spoilo

You are a true san

You have ends the Respect of Nigerians.

Brilliant man, great analyst

God bless you SAN for saying the truth.

Thank you Rufai

Kudos to the court for this wonderful judgement.

It's a good interpretation of law specially for those of other lawmakers who want to jump ship while abandoning people's votes given to them willingly

Mr. Adegoke epitomizes what a SAN should be -- apolitical, unbiased, and knowledgeable/articulate on constitutional matters -- rarely do I see Nigeria-based lawyers conduct themselves (on tv/RU-vid) as has Mr. Adegoke. His membership of APC notwithstanding, he cited authorities from the highest courts of the land in faulting Amaewhule and gang's claimant to still being legislators, after their defection from PDP, as well as in calling out governor Fubara's illegality in tampering with the legislative building. Reuben Abati approaches legal matters like a first year "C" law school student, I doubt that Abati has practiced law a day in his life -- he is injecting irrelevancies/speculations in a matter that the Supreme Court of Nigeria has already set a precedent. Haba, if he did this in the US, not only would a presiding judge walk him out of court ignominiously, he would also be sanctioned for legal incompetence.

Your head is on fire sir

Dr Abati is sounding too sympathetic to the Wike apologists in his analysis.

You have spoken well

A person who voted for a candidate of a political party has locus to sue if the person defects to another political party.

Ike gwuru

God bless you

The House of Assembly building is no longer standing so how can they sit in the assembly building

I used to think that I was too blunt until I started following Rufai. 😂😂😂😂. @rufai, Sometimes I am too scared for you because you are the public space in an animal kingdom

Wike, the Wicked!

Good question Mr Rufai

One of the few honest people in APC

Rufai will always bring out the true question

Very good👍! Mr Sim should learn from Obaseki, how he positioned Oshomole and the law makers that were loyal to him. Obaseki use their eyes see shege😂😂
