Regarding Tambuwal's defection, the constitution provision in contention was Section 68 (1)(g) which states that:
"(1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member if -
(g) being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected;"
This provision however had a proviso which stated that:
"Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored;"
His argument was that the PDP had an internal crisis which led to his defection as such, he was covered by the proviso. There were also counter arguments from the PDP. However, all these arguments were made outside the Courtroom as such, there was no legal pronouncement on the matter.
guiding the nation. Without law, there is no sin
and there will be rancor and disorder. The law
is still in place and we are all still bound by
the law.

1.Customary Law
2. Islamic law,
3.Received English Law,
4. Nigerian Local Legislation including Delegated Legislation,
5. Judicial Precedents.
I hope this has been of help. Thank you.
I guess this was discussed in another chat where I stated that the judiciary is indeed trying her best in ensuring sanity in the nation. The reason why it seems as though the poor are facing the full wrath of the law and the rich seem to be going scoot free is one of access to justice.
I went on to say that in other climes, everyone has equal access to justice and some even have legal expenses insurance. However, we do not have such in Nigeria and those who can hire senior advocates to defend them favorably argue their cases and win.
