S’Court Verdict: Rivers Accuses Pro-Wike Lawmakers Of Frustrating Fubara’s Efforts 

The State House of Assembly is accused of stifling Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s efforts to put the Supreme Court’s decision into effect in the state’s political crisis by the Executive Arm of the Rivers State Government.

In response to remarks made by Enemi Alabo-George, the chairman of the House of Assembly Committee on Information, who claimed Fubara had stifled the process, the Commissioner for Information, Joe Johnson, made this statement on Monday.

Despite numerous attempts, Johnson claimed that the Assembly has consistently rejected correspondence from the governor.

He cited video evidence that the lawmakers purposefully ignored the government’s efforts to deliver official documents.

Johnson added that some of these correspondences had been published in national newspapers.

He explained that the Assembly never received the documents, so the government was unable to provide acknowledgment copies of the letters Alabo-George had challenged.

The commissioner claimed that the executive branch had not yet received any correspondence from the State Assembly in response to the most recent allegations of gross misconduct against the governor and his deputy.

He reiterated that Fubara has always fought for peace and that it has upheld a court’s order directing local government leaders to become the head of local government administrations.

He claimed that the governor also indicated an interest in putting the rest of the apex bank’s directives into practice as soon as the judgment’s Certified True Copy is available.

He claimed that the Assembly issued ultimatums to the governor and the state electoral commission in response to the Assembly’s hostility.

He claimed that legal experts had also questioned its legitimacy and that this action was part of a deliberate plan to cause chaos.

Johnson also criticized the Assembly’s recent request for a Chief Judge’s investigation, claiming that the Assembly’s recent actions demonstrated that the state wasn’t interested in their priorities.
