Some of them resorts to blaming the constitution there is nothing wrong with the constitution the problem is with those implementing it, if you doubt it go to the present Abia state.

Professor wokeocha is a super sound lawyer. He truly knows his onion and has thrown more light in Rivers state matter.

This is very clear and unambiguously stated by this man. These 27 lawmakers shot themselves on their stomach by the affidavit they sworn under oath at the court, stating they have defected. That is a first-class court evidence and document sworn to and the court will never exclude it. They removed themselves from the house with that affidavit and the court will not look the other way in making a decision to protect that court document/affidavit

Very brilliant job by Prof Wokeocha

This professor is selective in his judgment, criticising one individual for illegal actions while praising another for the same behaviour. This inconsistency raises concerns about the integrity of the professor's actions, as intelligence without moral principles can lead to confusion and dishonesty. It's troubling such professor may use their intelligence for criminal purposes rather than seeking truth and justice.

Rufai is gradually becoming a nuisance for saying what he doesn’t know. If I may ask Rufai, how many states in Nigeria are running its administration with caretakers committee? Did caretakers committee began in Rivers State? So, Governor Fubara should fold his arms and allow Wike to have his way in Rivers State in which he didn’t tolerate any interference?

A matured adult publicly declared his position and stand on an issue exercising his constitutional and stated the reason why he took the decisions. He was told the implications of his actions, he is now disturbing public while the law shouldn't sanction him. He is now running to court to say please don't punish because of my actions... That this case is even discussed baffles me. The case does not even warrant a debate, it is clear..

I sincerely admire this professor of law. He's brainy and digested every section of the law with its merits . Kudos indeed!!

a very brilliant and most analytical lecturing on the legal imbroglio in the rivers state's current political inertia. hes a sound prof.of law, well admired.

Prof Wokeocha, we have always known you for your sound opinion and Neutrality. You have explained it the way any lay person can understand it. At least Reuben Abati will now Rest Well-done Sir!

Prof is just on point, original professor ⚖️ of law. I said it, journalists are the ones over running this issue, calling it crisis when the invite wike group, I repeat, there is not crisis in Rivers state.

Sound and unbiased analysis! A lot to learn from the Prof. I think our constitution is overdue for restructuring.

This is the position of the law. Case closed. INEC should immediately conduct fresh elections in the affected constituencies.

The problem of the law makers in Rivers state is that they fail to realise that the governor has the power they are still supporting Wike who is gone that's wrong move on their part

The APC in Rivers state is a joke. 🤣

All questions answered according to the law simplicital but Abatti playing the ostrich for apc will never learn with his kindergarten knowledge or lack off of the law. The law doesn't create a vacuum in governance no matter porous and weak it might be or look . Kudos prof.

Very erudite professor. Hit the nail on he head

The press man should learn from the proff, don't oppose with your limited knowledge

This man is so intelligent.

Good explanation

Rufai, congratulations. You have mature over time as a journalist. I now like the way you put forth your questions. Allowing the guest to air his or her opinion and your made followup depending on what you have investigated

The law in this case is clear enough for even a foolish man to understand.

Erudite scholar I greet you specially ❤

Sir, my question is, what does the constitution says about governors when leaves the party that put them in office to another party

Thank God you equally acknowledged Rivers state Assembly has 3 legit members

Once the court determines that the Rsha has no jurisdiction, then the case is dead

Caretaker community is illegal but practice by every state not Rivers State alone

This man is a fool from his answers it shows where his interest lies

But why did Fubara not appoint this man as the state attorney general? This man too sabi law o🤣🤣🤣

Why is nigeria law conteoversial, another lawyer will come and will give u a diffrent interpretation

Rufus shut up

Keep shut . Attempt to create anarchy in Rivers will definitely not be tolerated

No doubt the situation of Rivers State is bad. On the professor check it, it's sad the professor is blowing his pay master words. Wait for the court!

The court of appeal will handle all the matter that is before all the court as one that is against the 27 lawmakers. It is called consolidation of all matters. It includes the issue of defection and all the laws passed by the 27 lawmakers. All were brought before the court of appeal. So allow the court to speak before you begin to say what you don't know

Non sense talk

But the lawyer of the 27 lawmakers asked the court of appeal to consolidate all matters in court and treat it last week. Or doesn't he know that the issue of LGA was part of the issues? He should go check out what the appeal court said and what the lawmakers lawyer pray the court for and the court accepted. Ignorance

Court can not deliberate on a case that was not brought before it. The tenure elongation case was struck out by the high court in Rivers State, and it will never surface again. The case in court is mainly about the former lawmakers who defected from their party to another party and thereby lost their seats. This is case in the court of appeal and the laws they have passed since they defected to another party. These are the cases in the court of appeal.

This professor is selective in his judgment, criticising one individual for illegal actions while praising another for the same behaviour.
