Brilliant lawyer! He was able to explain to the layman the political logjam in Rivers state and I agree with him that the sensible way forward is a negotiated political settlement
It’s high time everyone gets their opinion off rivers state. Make everybody dey there dey . You brought someone as governor, people brought you as governor and you ruled like an emperor without acknowledging those who paid the price for you, now you are out and still want to lord over someone, something you can’t take, you want to do to someone else. The Gov has shown to be people friendly and is working, I never voted in the governorship elections after the anger of how same Wike thwarted our votes for the APC but we must move on and God so kind Fubara is the best in terms of calmness we’ve ever had. Wike dey your dey, nobody worry Fubara .
This is the only man that has really explain this matter very well to me, God bless you sir

This is the best lawyer I have seen regarding this Rivers State matter... the biasness of the news anchors is very visible .
Barr Ubani hasn't been totally forthcoming about that aspect of the law. The constitution said if they decamped and the Speaker of the house declares their seats vacant they have lost their seats. That is one aspect. Secondly... the constitution makes it automatic once you crossover to another party. Thirdly.... The supreme court has properly defined what a party's division or merger. So let the lawyer be honest to the constitution.

Was there really a division in PDP? If no, what can we call a situation where some governors work against their party's candidate during the last Presidential election. If no, what makes Peter Obi exit PDP to join LP even before the Presidential primary. These and more questions are still looming for us to determine if the defection is justified. Don't forget the fact that the minority cannot override the majority. My take.
This man is wise
Is very simple it's just like when you caught an armed robbers. You don't send them to prison even when they were caught in the act you still have to take them through the court process that exactly what involves here

i describe the actions of mr governor with due respect, as a masquerade that was tied with a rope because of his kind, that has cut off the rope that was use to control him and went and destroyed thing's and the one holding him was ask, what happened and the holder said he just cut off the rope, so let him take it easy, besides he has nothing to loose though
Well spoken
In my own opinion, after listening to Femi Falana SAN and the same SAN speaking is that only court can make pronouncements of vacating a seat of senators. Court is the only recognised body that will make the position to effect the change of this circumstance even though is clearly seen that the assembly members have lost their seat. This is how I understand what the man is saying. Thanks

I am just wondering why a very simple issue is difficult for you and some prominent lawyers in Nigeria to understand. Now the issue is very simple. Judiciary makes the law. It's the duty of the executive(the Governor in this case) to implement that law any time he perceives that the law has been broken by preventing them to further sit as legislators. Thereafter, the presumed ex law law makers could approach the court to prove that there was actually a division in their party. If they prove their case, the court would then return them as legislators. This is the law implementation procedure. I don't know why people are so confused in this matter.

Nice submission sir
We believe that laws are made to maintain peace and order reign in a normal and abnormal society.
Thanks so much Barrister. You explained it very well. It means the former assembly members are to approach the court to restore their rights. The governor has done the right thing by obeying first the section 109, then to restore their rights, let them go to court, and let the court determines if there was division or merger in the PDP. I am very sure, misunderstanding cannot be termed division.

My Brother, If the Judiciary open their EYE and MOUTH and tell us that there is DIVISION in this matter, I will start looking at every LAW Student in Nigeria not in US, UK or any other part of the world as fool without future. I know that they have done this first one by thwarting the understanding of the word AND during the 2023 Presidential Elections by telling us that scoring two-thirds in X number of States AND Abuja does not mean that you MUST score two-third at Abuja. Also telling us that a City (not a state) with only one Senator is a STATE or Equivalent with other States of the federation with Three Senators. JUDICIARY Should SAVE Nigeria because if they do not do it, they will be the first to run out of NIGERIA when it sets.
The issue here na English .. you can’t use the word automatic and subsequence sentence start with but or unless….. you can’t still hold your sit while trying to justify your reasons for defection … (it should happen the other way round )the law is most misunderstood by same lads who make them …
One can't speak without knowing what is it. Now, why not the judiciary speak through the constitutional? We all are participates in this. God help us.
Jungle don mature! SAN came prepared, not the SAN'S that they pay money to make you SAN....... these careless words confirms the kind of person the Governor is. Time will reveal more about his character.

Its interesting how all these lawyers are now giving an opinion on a matter that is in court. But when they dnt have liver to talk they all claim sub judice.
In my opinion and by the provisions of the law, the lawmakers should be deemed to have lost their seats. It should now behove on them to fulfill the proviso by approaching the court to stake their claim as to why they defected, citing the availability of those ingredients of the law to have been fulfilled.
This man is only trying to defend himself and others in SAN,,,,Oga this is nigeria we know things and have seen things happen,,,,

Please tell oga san that as individual and citizens of the country, we have legitimate and substantive rights which dies not need judiciary to confirm. Do I need the judiciary to confirm my right to breath?. All these lawyers are the problem of Nigeria.
You are lawyer you have gone through the process doesn't mean it is not in the country called nigeria..
The law makers lost their seats sir, San. The emergent speaker declared their seats vacant in accordance with the law. It is the law makers that should go to court to challenge the declaration if they think it was wrongfully done. If they think the provisos is in their favour. The court is not to look at whether they lost their seat or not. But whether it was wrongfully declared vacant.
oga lawyer so there's no threat if an illegal assembly impeaches a governor as passes bogus bills??? na wa o this country
If you like defend judiciary from now till tomorrow, the truth still remains that judiciary has become market place for politicians
i Disagree with the lawyer, he does not know what's happening if Judgement can be procured in favour of who can pay getting a san should be cheaper...they actually procure it lawyers forge judgement in their favour as cases they have purportedly won to qualify for san
Ubani is subtly supporting Wike. Go and collect your cheque
Dis yeye man just did 1+1+2. For 1+1 he said 2, for 2+2 he said 45!😂 Nigeria na wa o!
The process of becoming a SAN may be thoroughly but their output betrayed the confidence the people place on them. They are greatly compromised
Nonsense! The Nigerian judiciary is a big joke, and one can’t put anything past it. So please Mr. Urbani spare us your load of horse shit defending the indefensible.
This man is a pro wike lawyer, it's clear that there is no division and and merger.
The same court that said you lose your seat upon leaving, the same supreme also decided what division means, but this man want to be clever behalf
Now the 25 members are ones to go Court to challenge their loss of their seats
How can Ubani say we can not determine right? Are we illiterates? The matter is simple, it is about the fact that all of us can see. Is there a division in the party; No. Is there a merger; No. Ubani should not turn us to Mumus.
Sir you are more of an SAN than just a lawyer
Wrong Ubani. You need to go learn further maths: permutation and combination precisely. There is nothing wrong with the Constitution in this particular context. And the Constitution isn't a "living" document. The Constitution is to be read as a fixed foundational instrument. So, if the Constitution says a right is lost once you changed political platform, that is not ambiguous. A person who does that can no longer as a lawmaker. However, if s/he believes that an exception applies to them, they have the onus, duty, expense of approaching the Court and getting the Court to give them an order stating that they should be re-instated as Lawmaker because there was division in their State.
How can a lawyer be advocating for a political situation for a legal problem.
Confusion 1999 not constitution in a sense😅
He is lying . The law says you would have to prove you are entitled to your right after you have proven the issue forcing you to cross carpet but you can’t retain your position while appealing for it to be revived when the house has giving effect to the vacant seat .

Using this man’s line of thinking .. let’s say if you commit an offence (say Defection ) you remain a free citizen(law maker ) as every other person(Non defectors )until the court passes a judgment .. Sham
Two lawyers I don't like listening to are Monday ubani and liborous oshoma.
There is too much interferene in the judiciary
Mr ubani is just omly clever by half...he is in the Wike camp...and just only playing to the gallery ...this issue shouldnt take the court one day to pass judgement ...don't know what they r waiting for....for me the only problem I see for the fubara camp is that the elders that took the case to court might not have a locus standing ....again the governor has the chance to redeem himself in the supreme court if that happens....in any case the law makers r gone. The day tinubu relieve wike as a minister his political career is gone also...
Na una be our problems in this country
We are doing peace talk but we are not interested in justice... justice is the only way to everlasting peace... I'm even suspecting this man...he is one of the living problem to the society

This SAN is not honestl, Is it not in this Country a state in the north said some lawyers did not qualify to practice law because they did not finished law school?? and they were granted grace of time to go back to law school After they were Cut that means Bribe was involved??

whats this fellow talking about with regards to the purchase of SAN? Is there any office, jugdment, title or certificate, including bar certificates in your country that isnt purchasable? was it not in that same country a serving senator boasted on the floor of the house that his darling wife used to sell favourable judgments to his friends? what is strange about buying SAN? Even, look at the so called SANs. how many of them are sound? most are ODE, quota system SANs with little integrity. when you hear them talk, you are like, How did this character become a SAN? in a country where your SANS have been severally indicted for offering BRIBES to corrupt judges, is it the ordinary purchase of SAN that would be beyond them? the earlier you understand that corruption has messed with the entire fabric of your country the better you´d begin to appreciate the magnitude of your problems as a nation.
Mr. FALANA is a double standard man. He sa8d its only the court that can suspend senator lingi now hes saying another thing .
