Now #pdp will not even conduct themselves properly talk more of standing firm as an opposition. It's a shame.

[Karo Awhatefe @KaroAwhatefe]

#APC stood strong and carried out their responsibilities unashamedly as an opposition when they were in opposition and made the government of the day act a bit responsible.

[Karo Awhatefe @KaroAwhatefe]

It's obvious that #PBAT is a Master of the #Nigerian politics. He is damn good at this Nigerian game. You've got to give it to the man.

I expect a tsunami of defections to sweep across the #southsouth from #pdp following the #delta #defections .

[Karo Awhatefe @KaroAwhatefe]

#pdp is finally dead, I don't see how they will survive this #deltadefection
This will show how #deltastate is key to the politics in #Nigeria

My dear brothers and sisters,
Members of the Labour Party in the National Assembly,

Since your inauguration as Distinguished, and Honorable members of the National Assembly, I have refrained from interfering in your legislative affairs out of respect for your independence and to allow you to focus on alleviating the suffering of the Nigerian people.

However, at this critical juncture — following 26 years of a deteriorating democratic process marked by disregard for educational qualifications for electoral positions, massive rigging, and now the unconstitutional removal of elected officeholders — I find it necessary to address you. These unconstitutional actions have far-reaching negative implications for our democracy and the will of the people.

I urge you to stand as true defenders of justice. Do not participate in or support any action, decision, or vote that compromises the integrity of our democracy, undermines the interests of the people of Rivers State, or contradicts our core values of fairness, equity, and transparency.

We must not allow ourselves to become instruments of injustice or contribute to the betrayal of the people's mandate. At this moment, we must prioritize what is right over what is wrong or convenient, remaining steadfast in defending the well-being of the people of Rivers State.

Together, let us stand firm in our resolve — because a new Nigeria is possible!

-PO

While still agonizing over the ongoing deterioration of democracy in our nation, especially with the situation in Rivers State, and trying to reach out to our National Assembly members not to support and sustain the unconstitutionality and arbitrariness, I just heard that they have added salt to injury by using a voice vote to pass the illegality .

The Constitution is clear that this cannot be done through a voice vote but by calling individuals to answer 'yes' or 'no.'

You cannot determine a two-thirds majority by a voice vote.

While a two-thirds majority is crucial, it does not justify bypassing proper procedures and undermining the principles of transparency and accountability.

The use of a voice vote in such a significant decision not only disregards constitutional requirements but also erodes public trust in the democratic process as well as the transparency and integrity of the National Assembly .

Decisions of such magnitude must be made with integrity, following the letter and spirit of the law.

It is disheartening that a decision as crucial as approving an emergency proclamation — one that could alter the course of the nation — has been handled with such casual disregard for constitutional standards.

The 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) clearly requires that such a proclamation must be approved by at least two-thirds of all members of each House — the Senate and the House of Representatives.

A simple call of "Aye" or "Nay" cannot accurately measure this crucial threshold.

When a supermajority is required, it demands a recorded vote — whether by division, roll call, or electronic means. This isn't just a technicality; it's a matter of law and legitimacy.

The Senate Standing Orders and House Rules were established to ensure that decisions of this magnitude are made transparently, with accountability.

Ignoring these procedures is not just an oversight; it is a betrayal of the democratic process.

A voice vote for such a critical matter is not just insufficient; it's a dangerous precedent. If we can bend the rules so easily, what stops us from undermining other pillars of democracy?

Today, it's a voice vote on a state of emergency — tomorrow, it could be a voice vote on citizens' fundamental rights.

It is painful to think that members of the National Assembly, who swore to uphold the Constitution, could participate in a process that sidesteps the very essence of due process.

We must ask ourselves: If the law no longer anchors our decisions, then what does?

This is not just a flawed procedure; it is a warning signal.

We cannot afford to keep gambling with the soul of our democracy. -PO

The energy with which #tinubu administration uses to fight and surpress critics and criticisms of her policies and its outcome is alarming. If they direct that energy to actually fixing the issues raised, Nigeria would be better for it.

I had a mini discuss(I said mini because I had to cut it short as I couldn't bear to bring it to a meaningful conclusion) yesterday and right from the second sentence it was obvious that the fellow was running on a virus ridden Windows XP OS

[Karo Awhatefe @KaroAwhatefe]

Political choices exposes a lot of things, two major ones though are; 1. It shows the values you have and 2. It shows the "OS" one is running on.
