[@kingutu3413]

This issue should be addressed by the court, as it is essential to establish clarity. The lawmakers in question have indicated that there are divisions within their party, while the governor maintains that this is not the case. We must wait for the court to confirm the existence of any divisions or not. It is crucial to recognize that the governor, as an interested party in this matter, cannot impartially judge the situation. For instance, even in serious cases where someone is apprehended for a crime with guns, the law enforcement does not make the final decision because the law says so; that responsibility lies with the courts. Therefore, the governor’s assertions about party is not divided should be tested in the court not in public place or beer parlour.

Our problem in this country is that everyone is biased. All our judgement tends toward where our political preference stand. Let's ask this questions: 1. Did any court declare the 24 law makers seats vacant? 2. Did Gov Sim has singular authority to declare their seat vacant? 3. Is it truly right for the court (as approached by the 24 member) to declare the action of gov Sim wrong? 4. In all these, has gov Sim acted right? 5, Is it right for professionals like lawyer to come to national TV castigating the judgement of a competent court just because they're politically biased. 6. Why is it that ARISE TV do only invite people with one particular line of thought to discuss this type of issue. Is it because there is no other people with different line of thought?

[@chizuezenta6853]

1. The law says you should vacate your seat if you defect to another party. The speaker declares your seat vacant. No court needs to make this decision. 2. Gov. Sim did not declare their seats vacant. He is acting on the decision of the speaker of the remaining 4 lawmakers. 3. This decision is for the higher courts to make. 4. Sim is in a political battle with Wike and his allies for the control of state resources. By his popularity among the Rivers people, you can tell he is on the right track. 5. It is wrong to condemn court judgment on national TV, except when there's an obvious flaw with that judgment. A judge quickly pronounced judgment based on an Appeal Court decision, knowing that the matter was still at the Supreme Court. Besides, when you stop the allocation to a state (knowing that this will defund schools, hospitals, civil servants, pensioners, and developmental projects), people will question your motive as a Judge. Unfortunately, similar abnormal decisions have been coming from the Federal High Court in favour of Wike. You don't have to be politically biased to observe the trend. 6. Wike and many of his allies do not honour ARISE TV invitations, because they accuse them of bias.

[@felixotuoke5419]

Judicial rascality to put the lives of Rivers People at risk is not acceptable. Reasonable people do not obey unjust law.

@VeeOgulu Law is not by emotion, openly defected by word of mouth has been well explained I'm the constitution that IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BE DEFECTED. IN THE EYE OF THE LORD. THOSE LAWMAKERS WERE STILL MEMBERS OF HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. Court stated and in their proceedings both PDP and FUBURA lawyers agreed in court that PDP register that those lawmakers presented in court have the the names of those lawmakers and their names NEVER registered in any other political party. When you defected, you have to submit a letter to your pary seizing your membership with them. The Constitution is very clear on these cases. Moreover, I don't even support Wike or those lawmakers, but Fubura and his speaker made a huge mistake. what the constitution said in such a case of the below number of forums is that the speaker should suspend the official assignment of the house and write to the National assembly for EXECUTIVE APPROVAL for governing the state. Wike simply used Fubura law ignorance against him. Fubura should find a way to settle his clashes with Wike if NOT if the Supreme Court gives judgment in favor of those lawmakers.

God bless you Rufai for saying Tinubu took sides with Wike .What else is Rufai to say is about The Judges in Tinubu and Wikes Pockets

[@LarryKalmar]

There is nothing in the Constitution that warrants the seizure of Revenue belonging to the State by any agency of the Federal Government. Let me also say this; A governor who withdraws money from the Revenue of a state without appropriation or contrary to an appropriation law is liable to impeachment. The punishment is not seizure of the Revenue belonging to the state. There is nothing in Section 120 of the Constitution that provides that the Revenue of a state should be seized if it is spent without without a valid appropriation law or contrary to a valid appropriation law. Where a governor spends the Revenue of a state without appropriation or contrary to an appropriation law, it is a gross violation of the provisions of the constitution(gross misconduct) and therefore an impeachable offense; in accordance with section 188 of the Constitution. The issue of whether the Revenue of a state can be withheld under any circumstance is not even justiciable. Therefore, I would like to see the Court of Appeal reverse the decision of the Federal High Court with respect to withholding of Revenues accruing to Rivers State. Fiscal Autonomy is the hallmark of Federalism. The money in question does not belong to the governor who supposedly is spending same unlawfully. So, if Martins Amaewhule and his colleagues believe that the governor is withdrawing and spending moneys belonging to Rivers State in a manner that grossly violates the Constitution, tbey should commence an impeachment process against him. The route they have taken is unjust and unfair to Rivers people. Note: I was not analysing your emotions but what I believe is the postion of the law.

This is the implications of State depending on federal allocation. If states are working hard they can do without federal government or CBN

That was the reason Wike is building houses for the judges same thing he did when he was Rivers state governor

[@francisfagbule9510]

It's so funny that these people are still blaming Wike. The Governor failed to recognize the 27 Assembly members, even when the Court had not declared their seats vacant, he was the one who decided to present a budget to 3 people but our objective analysts cannot ask the governor to recognize the lawmakers.

[@tubobanimi1108]

It is not for the courts to declare their seats vacant

[@VeeOgulu]

Present budget to lawmakers that defected openly and on oath?

[@francisfagbule9510]

@@tubobanimi1108 Yes, it is. The Governor needs to take them to court (Federal High Court), and if he is able to show that they defected WITHOUT any problems in the party, then the court will pronounce their seats vacant! Until then, he is only acting like an "emperor" by not recognizing them. That is the law!

@@VeeOgulu Does it mean that he cannot present a budget to the opposition? Are they not elected members of their constituencies?

Rufaï! You cannot compare what happened in Lagos with what is happening in Rivers State. The court can only give its verdict on the case presented before it. Are you telling me the Governor is above the law? This issue is not between the Federal Government and Rivers State. It is an issue between the Rivers State House of Assembly and the Rivers State Executive. What are you saying?
