What is the difference between 30 & 8 and 32 & 5 in the same DEMOCRACY?
If you know you know

Welcome to Nigeria, a country where 8 is greater than 30

nnachukz:
8 out of 30

That is expected from anyone supporting PDP. I will advice you wait to confirm the details of the happenings. One thing I am sure of is that no one can impeached a governor without having the majority in the state assembly, not even Buhari.

drdanny:
8 out of 23

let me laugh in Spanish...

It will NOT work

It's 8 out of 30 actually.

We told these guys that you are bringing a demon to be your president and they think we are wrong and anti Nigeria. Wait for him to win second term and see rne real choas that he will cause.
Enjoy your change.

But no Governor was impeached when some of them decamped to APC during Jonathan PDP Government. May God save us.

Eight lawmakers out of a total thirty-one and less than a third of the state’s assembly cannot impeach anyone! That this is happening under a ‘change’ mantra-chanting administration is not surprising though. We can be guaranteed of more drama to come

Obasanjo did it in his time though. I think it was with Fayose

TO ALL BUHARI'S SUPPORTERS HERE ON NAIRALANDER, TELL YOU BROTHER WHO'S PRESENTLY IN TOGO NOT TO TURN NIGERIA TO A MILITARY COUNTRY OR ELSE .....

You heard from one side. Wait until you also from the other side. Then we know the exact number.

8 members out of 30 cannot impeach a governor.
They have the right to serve him a letter but they don't have the number to execute it.
Why a court order to forbid a legislator to carry out his duty ?

APC/Buhari's desperation for 2019 should actually make every right thinking Nigerian worried. They definitely can't tell me this desperation is to provide Good governance to the People

Osho baba and other APC chieftains are absolutely behind this, it visible to blind and audible to the deaf.

Feemmy:
8 law makers out of 30.
No hope in this country

Did you complain when same was done in Ekiti by PDP?

APC shame!

It worked in Ekiti under PDP and they were even 7 PDP law makers who did it at that time

Mr man, that was what the report said.
APC supporter, supporting impunity and abuse of our security institutions is no doubt expected from you.

8 out of 30 lawmakers trying to impeach the governor. The world governing body should intervene oo

is it not suppose to be two third of the house?

Chikpat:
Trying times.. our democracy is passing through trying times indeed.
The gov mobilized support for the Speaker's impeachment, nobody bathed an eye lid. Law makers have decided to pay him back in his own coin and pitiably, this will attract all sorts of unwarranted sympathy and attention.

First reasonable comment I’ve read so far…

FOR SURE ORTOM DESERVE ANY THING HE GETS OUT OFF HIS MISMANAGEMENT OF BENUE ECONOMY

Fulani gunmen kill 2,794 in Zamfara state in two years; Killed another 42 in Zurmi LGA, 15 abducted in Maradun LGA on Sunday

PDP has been chanting how the recent mass defection is good and necessary for democracy, but people always fail to realise they are only playing to the gallery of gullible Nigerians, Why should the speaker be impeached simply becos he failed to defect, height of hypocrisy.

Bloody terrorist organization called APC

IMPEACHING A GOVERNOR

FOR PUBLIC ENLIGHTENMENT

Impeaching a sitting Governor of a State in Nigeria is a very serious matter

Step 1
A notice of any allegation in writing alleging gross misconduct on the part of the Governor. This notice must be signed by not less than one-third of the members of the State House of Assembly is presented to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly.

* Gross misconduct is defined by the Constitution as ‘…a grave violation or breach of the provisions of this Constitution or a misconduct of such nature as amounts in the opinion of the National Assembly to gross misconduct.’

Step 2
The Speaker of the State House of Assembly must within 7 days, serve the Governor of the State and each member of the State House of Assembly with a copy of the notice of allegation.

Step 3
The Governor has a right of reply (he/she does not have to reply however), and any such statement in reply to the allegation must be served on each member of the State House of Assembly.

Step 4
Within 14 days of the presentation of the notice to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, the State House of Assembly shall resolve by motion without any debate whether or not the allegation shall be investigated. This motion needs to be passed by at least two-thirds majority of all members of the State House of Assembly.

Step 5
If the motion fails to reach the required majority, the process immediately stops, and no further action will be taken. However, if the required majority is obtained and the motion is passed, then the Speaker of the State House of Assembly will within 7 days of the passing of the motion, request the Chief Judge of the State to appoint a Panel of seven persons who in his opinion are of
unquestionable integrity to investigate the allegations. The members of the Panel cannot be members of any public service, legislative house or political party.

Step 6
The Panel is to report its findings within three months of being appointed. The findings will be reported to the State House of Assembly. During the proceedings of the Panel, the Governor shall have a right to defend himself, and shall also have the right to be defended by a legal practitioner of his/her choice.

Step 7
Where the Panel reports that the allegation has not been proven, there will be no further action. However, if the report is that the allegation against the Governor has been proven, then the State House of Assembly will consider the report, and a resolution for the adoption of the report shall be moved.

Step 8
For the resolution to be adopted, it must be supported by not less than two-thirds majority of all the member the State House of Assembly. Once adopted the Governor shall stand removed from office as from the date of the adoption of the report.

it will never work cos' 8 can never be greater than 30. they will only make governor ortom to be more popular. he will surely triumph over his enemies again.

Is right time mass action should be taken about this God forsaken regime.

Why , Because He Decamped



Nigeria Which Way Na , All This Shi!t Never Tire Una

But you didn't see the part of the story which clearly states that the speaker was removed because his party was no longer the majority in the house. Any where you have power make you use am, this is politics in Nigeria.

QUESTION
APC = PDP, Prove ?

ANSWER
Since we know they are both parties, The 2nd "P" in PDP is a constant and so may not be included in the equation. OR we may as well say APC"P" = PD"P"
"P" = Party
Divide both sides of the equation by the constant "P".
Resulting in APC = PD
This means that if A+P+C = x, Also P+D must be equal to x
Meaning A+P+C = P+D
Using the alphabet A -Z numbers, whereby A = 1 and Z=26
Substituting letters with their corresponding numbers.
A,P,C = 1,16,3
P,D= 16,4
A+P+C = 1+16+3 = 20
P+D= 16+4 = 20

Therefore APC = PDP
QED.

Nigeria is at the brink of a civil war. Ortom's impeachment will alarm every Nigerian. It might be 1966 all over again.
