RVHA SHOULD APOLOGISE TO RIVERS PEOPLE
It is one example of legislative brigandage in Rivers State, wherein the Rivers State House of Assembly brazenly committed an affront on the 25th of October 2007 judgement of the Supreme Court of Nigeria which declared that in the eyes of the law, Sir Celestine Omehia was never a Governor of Rivers State. Back then in 2015, it was politically correct to recognise Omehia but with the political realities of today, it’s no longer expedient!
A State Assembly maliciously disregarded the letters and spirit of the October 25 2007 judgement, only to turn around to shamelessly demand that the privileges Omehia enjoyed as a result of it’s infantile rascality in 2015, be refunded within 7days. Should the Rivers State House of Assembly
not be apologizing to Rivers people by now for poor representation?
A Greek gift offered Sir Omehia to spite former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, was today effortlessly retrieved.
The deployment of political might in Rivers State and the obvious abuse of such powers is a danger signal to the growth of democracy in Rivers State. How can a State House of Assembly which should ordinarily should serve as the bastion of democracy, the voice and conscience of Rivers people, be reduced to the Governor’s lackey and attack dog against the Governor’s perceived political enemies?
Let Rivers people judge!
