Dem go dey think say na small issue...

This assembly will be searching for impeachable offense and withholding funds belonging to Assembly is one of them..the governor should be careful

Obaofaba:
The fight has just begun.

When Wike used thugs against the apc, AA and other political parties in 2019 general election, ipob terrorists hailed him.

When Wike turned against Atiku, thinking he will the Pandora poster boy, ipob terrorists hailed him.

When Wike through his made the president to win Rivers State, he became their enemy.

When Wike allegedly rigged the gubernatorial election in favor of Fubara, they crucified him which I like as well.

But when the person rigged in didn't do the biddings of Wike and Wike decide to fight back, they are crying foul.

The thing is, ipob terrorists aka obidients aka nzogbu nzogbu wannabes are enemies of the country.

They are only happy when something bad happens.


No sugar-coating, I say it the way it is.

Stop being a waste please, go and do something useful with your life.

Keep quiet.

Sorry who’s Ipob terrorist? I thought the issue is about Rivers State?

Fubara should give thanks to his star if he makes it through this first term without being impeached, because he's using a small spoon to eat with a known devil.

westlius:
The speakers knows if the gov holds there funds just for 3 month
Many of the will come begging d governor

If the Governor spends 1Kobo, it is done without appropriation and is an impeachable offence.

Odidigboigbo:
This is an imposter, Ehi if the speaker. Fubara has already sent his budget to the right faction

They just came from the Federal High Court last week. The court doesn't recognise the other faction. That's the problem.

tnerro1:

If the 27 seats are declared vacant, the quorum will be 2 third of 5, ask obaseki of Edo state 😁😁

Let them try it and they will know the difference between Buhari and Tinubu.

What sort of nonsense talk is this? I am shocked

4 and not 5. The 32nd person is deceased...

Do you understand that the 27;are now APC ?

Fubara will dealt with pro Wike lawmakers. No money to fly around for you guys. You are in serious hot soup . Fubara is winning the war here. Dem decamp to APC, I laugh hardly

Obaofaba:


Listen to yourself Mr lawlessness.

How can five make a quorum to budget?

Abeg, Amaechi used 5 to the budget, go and check. The deal is simple, the speaker will suspend the 27 and declare their seats vacant. Stage 2, the 2024 budget. Matter close.
Anyone that is aggrieved should approach the court and follow it till Supreme Court.

CilicMarin:


Correction: 4 not 5.

One member is late.

Every year, every governor is
expected by law to send in a
budget to its House of
Assembly for approval. The
process of approving a
budget may take months
and within such time there
is always need for state to
spend public funds. Until a
budget is approved, a
Governor can withdraw and
spend monies from the
Consolidated Revenue
Funds of the state for
necessary services of
government for a period not
more than six (6) months or
until budget is approved
which ever that happens
first prevails. Mr. governor, you have another 5 months to spend as you wish but you only need 2 more months to use the stick approach. Please take note of the above, take advantage of this open constitutional bazaar period, hold the operational and chop chop monies of these clowns for another 2 months and see how quite a handful of them will come crawling.

richiemcgold:
This particular faction has the majority. So we should not compare it with Obaseki of edo who allowed only his loyals to control the house and they were less than 10.

Lol I hope you know that these guys have played into the hands of the governor. I hope you know according to the law, the state now has only 5 house of assembly . Because the law clearly states that a lawmaker automatically vacates his seat the moment he decamps from the party which sponsored him to the position. So the governor can argue from this point and by the law, use the only valid 5 to sign that Budget. The wike lawmakers defected too early, my thoughts. They gave the governor the upper hand.

Exactly, and they even made matters worse for themselves by decamping to another party. The law clearly states that such lawmakers automatically lose their seats if they decamp from the party that sponsored them into power. So the governor can even use that as a perfect opportunity to hit them. No wonder he acts like he isn't bothered about the whole situation

chisomkachy:
The Martin Amaewhule-led Assembly is loyal to the FCT Minister, Ezenwo Wike

Go and meet Wike to fund you. He is collecting 5million naia from every landlord in Abuja and threatening to demolish their houses of they don't pay..

Gov. Fubara hold the yam and the knife. He is in full control. If na killings Wike want, him go get am..

Wike killed many of your APC since 2019, today our yoruba Muslim brothers are eating his shiit and hailing him to high heavens.

Are you agbado buffoons not ing Wike and his lawlessness.

Go to Rivers state and help Wike fight Fubara, make boys use your agbado skull drink kainkain..

The same law you're trying to quote permits them to deflect if there's a division in their party. That's the part they're banking on. I believe you read the part of the report where they specifically mentioned PDP's national secretary saga.
All in all, this is naija dirty politics playing out from both sides.

Rivers have 32 House of assembly , so how come be 4, I no argue o, I want learn

But there's no division within the state or any division which directly impacts on them. But like you rightly pointed out, there are ways of exploiting the loopholes in the law

OkayDaddy:

There is no way court will recognise 4 out of 32 . I think Fubara doesn't play is game well, he won't have gain more loyalist first

Pls show me lawmakers that lose his seat when they decamp, I don't think that works in Nigeria. Obaseki is a case study

casualobserver:


Educate yourself. Fubara’s so called faction consists of only 5 . Under the constitution Fubara needs at least 11 (1/3) to even sit, talk less to any law including budgets or any resolutions.

96. (1) The quorum of a House of Assembly shall be one-third of all the of the House.

Of 32 , 27 are with Wike. He is a lame duck governor.

Baba leave constitution alone is for d poor

casualobserver:


Violence and money are useless if you don’t know how to deploy them. This is not about gra gra. This is a chess game and who holds the right pieces. Right now Fubara is weak, you do not wage war from a position of weakness. He was I’ll advised and would have been better served to consolidate before taking on Wike. He has not shown he has the political intelligence for the war he has started. For if he had he would have waited or played the fool for a while.

In life you need to pick your battles wisely. The worst person to fight is a man who has everything to lose. He will take both of you down than to watch you triumph over him. Fubara is check mated. He can’t do anything without the house. Wike will blow up rivers, himself and Fubara, if need be because the alternative for him is humiliation and irrelevance.

It’s overblown yet he conquered Amaechi, It’s overblown yet he conquered Saraki and Tambuwal, it’s overblown yet he conquered PDP and Atiku. It’s overblown yet he dealt with Obi. A man that openly defies a while PDP and yet they are afraid to suspend talk less expel him.

Wike does not lose because he fights dirty and he fights to the end. He employs intelligence with brawn aka violence. So far Fubara is all brawn no sense.

Understand one thing, this war may finish Wike, but it will exterminate Fubara too, of that be certain. Like I said Wike is the worst kind of enemy to have, the kind who is ready to go down than see you triumph over him. The difference between someone like Tinubu is that Tinubu will let you have your victory and wait for the right moment to nullify you. Wike is not that refined. He wants you out, he is coming for you and will not let go till you are eliminated.

Trust me people like Wike are the worst people to fight. I am sure you have seen videos of traffic accidents where someone dents your car. You know the kind of people that will smash your headlamps and windscreen knowing full well you will also smash their car rather than let you dent their car go Scott free? That’s Wike!

How did he conquer Tambuwal? Say what u know Tambuwal won his senatorial election abeg. Wike that was beaten like a thief in the pdp primary. And don't bring Tinubu victory as a plus cos Tinubu would have won with or without wike. Wike is a strong politician but no dey over hype am.

westlius:

Wike is a dirty politician, the guy has started paying them more than what is due them as I speak. Guy has allocated juicy plots to those guys at FCT.

I don't know why SIM seems docile, the house of assembly is been used now by this faction because Wike has used the police to take over the complex. If things go like this , the house might impeach him, the Governor should be ready to use money to break this .

Blake755:

Forget this your lesson abeg even wike no feel back down for his boss if he was in fubara shoes

Fubara os just a simple and too soft. If this was Edison, that guy would have matched Wike toe to toe. Wike knew why he choose SIM, he wanted someone that can't fight back.

jeromestarks:
Fubara is gone.


Moral lesson: NEVER FIGHT YOUR BOSS.

but your boss can fight his boss?
