Rivers' Lawmakers Who Defected To APC Have Lost Their Seats, Falana Insists | Sunday Politics 

It was definitely the Hand of God that made the Wikes House of Assembly members to decamp to the APC, fubara would have been in a mess, with these sharks beside him

Can someone tag the APC journalist, Mr Jide of TVC?

The blind leading the blind. Wike and the 27.

Please share this with Jide of TVC, to learn something.

And you call these bunch of irresponsible guys called Law markers who don't even know the LAW🙄🙄🙄🙄

What did Wike give to this 25 House members. The interest of the Rivers people should supersede that of Wike.

I hope the judiciary doesnt embarrasses itself

The Father of law has spoken, the small lawyers should silent.

They said wike is a lawyer, so how come he advised his followers to make such mistake? They have given fubara a massive gift by decamping. It's now left for the state to replace them. What a blunder!!!!😂😂😂

Wike wickedness will soon land him in a big problem.

Intelligent man

They have lost their seats, section 109 of the Constitution is clear on the matter.

By now I thought those law makers would have learnt something from EDO state house of assembly members who followed oshiomole to fight obaseki . Na who hold the handle of cutlass get advantage

During our former regimes, this law did not stand, we hope it will stand in this regime, lawyer Falana, ride on, more Grace from our living GOD IJMNON AMEN ❤

Very sound and clear.. A lesson or lecture to those parading their useless self’s as SAN, You all expected to speak the Laws BOLDLY at all time without fear or Favour

Democracy must survive or die in this case in Rivers State

Wike was not patient at all... What was the need telling those guys to decamp to APC ? .... He didn't consult at all ... the president tried using political solution to save him but he kept telling the lawmakers to override the Governor on bills

Someone finally speaking the truth after supporting the drug dealers. After getting back lash from Nigeria

I wonder how this man copes with all of this. Thank God for men like this, who delve deep into the law, even at this age, and, speak the truth, regardless of who is involved. It's always an honour to hear you speak.

That's right, really appreciating the country's laws are in fact working for a better tomorrow Insha Allah.

But Wike has previously assured the law makers that "nobody is going to remove them as law makers", now the High Court has directed that they should stop parading themselves as law makers, no be juju be that 😂.

Let them also decamp from Rivers to FTC, let them go and form their house there under their leader Wike in Abuja. Law makers who doesn't know law.

27 men and women were lead to the slaughter believing they were going to slaughter Fubara politically instead they slaughtered themselves. Law makers are not the owners of Rivers state.

Try and bring Sim Fubara to your studio 🎙️ that will make sense to Nigerians if not Rivers State

Yes stand your ground

We're all watching

That is very correct .

Seun, the position of rhe constitution and as interpreted by the Supreme Court of Nigeria is that they are no more memebers of the Rivers State House of Assembly. PDP had written to INEC and expects INEC to conduct fresh election to replace the existing vacancies. Whereby INEC delays or derelict in its duties, the legitimate Rivers State Assembly members have the right to carry our their legislative businesses. There is no provision in the Constitution that debars the legitimate legilators from doing the jobs for which they were so elected.

From the onset last year I said same thing, they have lost their seats

That's is good 👍, it will be a lesson to others

Seun stop referring to the defectors as lawmakers.

Seun Tinubu is a member of APC and was elected the same way Fubara was elected. This is a PDP matter, which the president becomes an interloper. The case was already in court befire Tinubu's intervention. His personal effort couldn't work out as Wikeand his boys took Fubara's simplicity for granted. Thereby abusing and thwarting the good intentions of the president.

Ok

Oloju kan ti onjoba nilu awon afoju causing no justice for Mohbad

But these politicians get mind o..People voted for them and at one mans bidding they disregarded the people who voted for them and choose a rival party. This is just shameful

So if they have lost their set, is their a house currently because there is no quorum.😅. Sir Falana with all due respect did not answer this😅

It happened in Akwa Ibom state between 2015 to 2019. Even till this morning those people are still outside the state assembly house in Uyo. I come in peace!

How come the Law makers( learned men) could not understand the Law? What did Wike use to confuse or manipulate them? Cheap sense. Na waao.

they should probe wike

😊

Let judiciary take it course.

They know the truth. Their people should replace them.

River peoples development in all levels will continue to pay for this GBA gbos in their state.

Wike think that he is God in rivers state..hahahahahah.rivers State is not Lagos

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 God bless FUBARA

People making laws don't even no the law immagin

It's just a matter of time. Wike will become a bad history 😮

They followed Wike sheepishly and got themselves enmeshed in this mess. The case is clear, the law holds supreme authority above any individual or group of persons. With their ouster now, Fubara would single handedly select those loyal to him to replace them. For me is now crystal clear Fubara is already coasting to victory come 2027. Wike lost out big time.

The 25 lawmakers that defected from their party are definitely lost their seats no more no less. A zoo government of Fulani terrorists British supermarket is a lawless entity. Injustice for one is Injustice for all

This how the SAN talk about Presidential election 25% FCT. What happens last. Wike has said their seat can not be vacant

its has happened before and hence they will reference previous occurrences. Unfortunately these members havs lost their seats .

I have always seen hand of God in the issues of Rivers State hitherto. Even if it's Fubara that wants to take the people for granted, he also face issues like Wike.

The old man is just given his own opinion,he is not the judge, and most cases that he attended does not mean he won everything

FEMI FALANA THE FATHER OF LAW IN NIGERIA AND AFRICA AS A WHOLE

The same way Mr Falana told us live and direct that there is no way the supreme court would affirm Mr ADELEKE as the governor of OSUN STATE..... Here we are today Mr NURUDEEN JACKSON ADELEKE is the governor of osun state and will remain same till 2026.

What of the 6 assembly members of Labour Party that moved to PDP in Enugu state.

Why do you people of Nigeria believe this man he is not a. good father to are citizens of Nigeria because am tokeing what this old man did all because of Mohbad money

Let the court confirm their sack not by you and me

Those 24 Rivers lawmakers have played the harlot and therefore lost their marital rights, and no longer legally fit to parade themselves as rivers state lawmakers🇳🇬

Law-makes that don't learn from their colleagues in other countries of the world, is that law-maker or law-breaker?.

What is wrong with Seun? Is those useless guys member of House of Assembly?

Some Nigerian politicians has no shame

Never.... did David Umah lost his seat when he left the PDP to APC???

This sounds like Oracle to the unburdened ears. Once your locus standi is constitutionally subdued, your material value becomes unhinged 😁 We're learning everyday.

Lawless people claiming to be law makers

The oracle of the law has spoken

Wike and Fubara should allow the people to enjoy democracy and its dividends. As at the last scores, i think the result was Fubara 1 - 0 Wike. Wike did not calculate well before telling his boys to resigned from RVHA.

Imagine the moment these Lawmakers realized they had fucked up 😅… lawmakers that don’t know the law…

27 able bodied men who call themselves Lawmakers, including a Speaker who is said to be a lawyer do not know the provisions of the law or ignored the law in a bid to please their lord and paymaster and have been led astray. It all clearly shows how they're being controlled by one man, and they have no choice to disagree. Let them face the consequences of being Yes Men.

To be poor in Nigeria is a pleaque

Old age is doing this boy

What shows that Wike is a lawyer. Opportunist who happens to find himself in the corridor of currupt system where men of wisdom, intelligence and knowledge are pushed aside and men of idiocy are in the corridor of power .That's zoo for you

Are lawyers are judge, they go by the letter of the law by judges go by the letters, circumstances, emotions and other legalities concerning it. We should it for court interpretations nothing is final until the court cases are done. In the whole issue, Fubura goofed with law with assembly complex that is why the case is not straight forward - there's element of threat to a government. Are these people card carrying members of another party? Let the court decides

Hahaha,Jude openly claimed to be a Buharist while answering questions on journalist hangout. We know them. Brown envelope journalists.

APC EGBEKEGBE

Concerning this issue of Lagos state government expelling unemployed members of Osun state is a slap on other state's faces. Is that what is seen as democracy in our country Nigeria? These sets of politicians today no longer act in accordance with the laws of our land, they believe they are almighty and above the law. I pray God keep us all till they leave power and they will become victim of their own past hand work.

Mr Falana Always emotional with interpretation, he is acting as the Judge, he knew that a Judge has to be the one to declare their seats vacant, this Rivers 27 Lawmakers are not a party to the supreme Court pronouncement on declaring a seat vacant, they have to be a party to such and it will be decided by an appeal court Judjes in a case that the 27 members are a full party to. Mr Falana was only speaking on moral grounds, and in Nigeria...there are no Morals...it has to go through the normal process of trial in a court

Is it possible for a woman to keep two husbands at the same time ? Dump your party along the amenities.

Fubara shouldn't celebrate the victory yet, in that messed country anything can happen that's Nigeria for you, nothing like constitution or law in that zoo

Wike ONLY wants to WASTE the People of Rivers State`s Time

10:09 shawun ask real question not nonsense

I have been waiting for our to speak,long life to you sir

But this lawyer have been alive all this while when tinubu turn his blind eye because it favours his political party

Wike simply told them that he and Tinubu own the constitution and judiciary with a living example of the supreme court over labour party in the last election and PhD lawyers and law lecturers knew the position of the constitution on the act before embarking on it nevertheless they didn't understand the position of Rivers state in nigeria

Was there no crisis and division in the PDP at the national level before the 27 lawmakers defected? 1. 5 Governor rose up against the presidential candidate of the party and worked against it because of zoning arrangement 2. The national chairman took side in the presidential primaries that led to crisis also in the party. 3. There was the issue of who was the authentic national secretary of PDP become other individuals were challenging the seat in court of months 4. There were so many litigations against several individuals and the party in court. 5. Even in the just concluded NEC meeting the atmosphere was charged with confusion and impending explotion of party faithfuls. Is all this issues not enough to know that there was crisis in the party that can encourage defection ? I don't know what falana is talking about

I wonder why River State has become a problem to the system in Nigerian government bcs this same scenario occured in the state previous transition between govn wike & his predecessor govn Rotimi amaechi bcs they find it difficult to discard their sit to any newly elected governor in River State, Nigeria & the presidency , including the judiciary should tell there selves the truth concerning the height of this god fatherlism in River State government

Baba go and sleep ...

Father of law has spoken and interpreted the law..case settled

Educate werey wike and the foolish law maker's that doesn't know the law but they parades themselves as a law maker's and made themselves fuus even following werey wike here and then

This lawyer self just Dey yan nonsense.. After swearing them Abi ?

Is Falana too old to see things. Its the voter and the LG. That can call them.back

Journalist calling a learned SAN an illiterate. So ridiculous that you can display your emotions publicly just because you want to take side. please elaborate on that law stating retention of their seats after defection. Please be guarded before displaying ignorance publicly. You are not as sound as you think on this matter.

I can tell you for free that those lawmakers will go back to the house and serve their term nothing will happen abi no be Naija again.

He's Deluded..!

The rena8ning 4 PDP house members can't legislate for rivers state. That was why PDP said they have invited INEC to conduct new election to replace the 25 Wike lawmakers that have defected to APC. The court should not delay so that INEC can conduct new election. Until then, the governor can continue governance of the state by executive orders until the house of assembly is property constituted.

You are not a judge let the law court decide.

He should call a spade a spade. He is jumping off and on. I just don’t understand him. He should stop talking if he can’t speak truth to power.

Falana is always talking with all sides of his mouth

It is madness for 2 or 3 people to represent a state of over 5 million people in a house of assembly. What that means is that the governor controls both the executive and legislative arm of government. What type of law is this. It is a useless arrangement.

Falana i disagree with you because you do not know what is going on
