Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere, a representative from the House of Representatives, made it clear in a strong speech addressed to Nyesom Wike that Wike must comprehend that the approaching election will go forward as scheduled. He declared that nothing could prevent the election of local government chairman, which is set for October 5. He further argued that Rivers State is too big for Wike to govern and asserted that Governor Siminalayi Fubara would serve out his four-year term and win future elections. Additionally, he implored Wike to acknowledge that public institutions ought to stay public and not be seen as private property.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Addressing a recent court judgment, Ugochinyere rejected it as “strange” and warned that it could undermine constitutional governance. He pledged that the ruling would be vigorously appealed, expressing confidence that the right decision would eventually prevail. Meanwhile, Ugochinyere affirmed that Oko Jumbo remains the Speaker of the House of Assembly and will continue to perform his duties.
He said in a video shared by Symfoni, “Conduct of election is constitutional, and the law forbids any court from stopping it. That election will hold on October 5th, and local government chairman will be elected, and nothing also can stop that from happening. Wike needs to get this clear. Governor Fubara will complete his four-year tenure and will re-contest. Public institution should be left as public institution. It’s not personal. Rivers is too big for you to pocket, it is not personal.
So as long as we are concerned, we reject the judgment, we see it as very strange and we see it as something that will undermine constitutional governance, and it will be appealed vigorously, and the right thing will be done. Meanwhile, Oko Jumbo remains the Speaker of the House of Assembly and will continue to discharge his functions, and nothing can change that.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
