Socialists, CSOs back Governor Fubara on probe of Wike's administration

The CSOs in a statement by its convener, Comrade Declan Ihekaire, said probing the administration of Nyesom Wike will enable the state to recover stolen funds to support the governor’s developmental projects.

Ihekaire said: “We are in full support of Governor Fubara probing and investigating the immediate past administration in the state.

“Even though the Governor was past of the administration but probing the Wike-led government is an indication that Fubara has the interest of the people at heart.”

On his part, the President of the Society for Open Justice in Nigeria, Oloyede Kadiri, raised an alarm over a clandestine move by a faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly to upturn an interim injunction by a Rivers State High Court, restraining the Martin Amaewhule-led faction from parading themselves as legislators.

Kadiri said the former members of the Rivers State House of Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule had devised extra-legal means to upturn the Rivers State High Court ruling.

“The Martin Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly has elected to throw caution into the wind.

“We have it on good authority of their efforts towards turning the law on its head through extra-judicial means. This indeed portends grave danger for democracy in Rivers state and Nigeria.

“This group of former lawmakers, with the backing of some forces in Abuja, have made overtures to the Justices of the Appeal Court to upturn the ruling of the Rivers State High Court restraining the 25 defendants from meeting/sitting at the auditorium of the House of Assembly Quarters or any other place whatsoever to purport to carry out the legislative business of the Rivers State House of Assembly.”

The group alleged that hefty sums of money had been earmarked for the project to get a favourable ruling from the Appeal Court.

“These former lawmakers have made it clear that what money cannot do, more money can do. They have bragged about control of the judiciary by their patron in Abuja and that the ruling of the Rivers state High Court will be upturned.

“The attempt at compromising the justices of the Appeal Court is a coup on democracy. Those whose actions and inaction have contributed to the political impasse in Rivers State are enemies of democracy.

“If this anomaly is allowed in Rivers State, it can happen in any state in the country. The implication would be the end of democracy or any semblance of democracy in Nigeria.”

The group also warned the 25 former lawmakers to desist from political blackmail and other acts that have disrupted governance in the state.

“The group of 25 former lawmakers must realize that their actions in the last year have been embarrassing and made River State a laughing stock.

“They have elected to dance to the dictates of their patron and pledged their loyalty to him rather than the people of Rivers state.

“Their actions also beg the question of what their primary motive is. To serve the people of Rivers State or to serve a master who has vowed to continue to deprive the people of Rivers State the dividends of democracy.

“The Society for Open Justice in Nigeria is alarmed at such tendencies by a group elected by the people, but whose body and soul have been sold to the devil in exchange for a plate of porridge.”

The group further called on the Justices of the Appeal Court to resist the overtures to compromise and give a ruling in favour of the 25 lawmakers.

“The Society for Open Justice is calling in the Honourable Justices of the Appeal Court to resist all the overtures by some vested interest in the Rivers State debacle. We know the tremendous pressure from different quarters to obstruct justice.

“Their paymaster has boasted that he controls the judiciary, which remains an affront to our sensibilities as a people and a country. He has openly attacked the reputation of the judiciary in the country.

“We are confident that the Honourable Justices of the Appeal Court would resist their overtures and stand on the side of equity, justice and fairness.

“Nigeria is not a banana republic where individuals ascribe to themselves the power to violate the rights and privileges of the people.”
It would be recalled that there has been a running battle for controlling the Rivers State House of Assembly, with 25 former lawmakers loyal to the former governor of the state decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressive Congress (APC). This move opened a litany of litigation.

Justice CN Wali of the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt issued an interlocutory injunction, barring Speaker Martin Amaewhule and associated lawmakers from further sitting and parading themselves as members of the state House of Assembly, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.

In light of recent developments, the UKA has issued an official public disclaimer cautioning citizens, followers, and the general public about the activities of individuals promoting and operating a coin or platform not officially recognized by the Atlantian Gold Coin (ATC).

As the newly appointed Minister, Queen Amb Dr. Anyatonwu has announced that all matters pertaining to the 5 billion humanitarian project in UKA should be directed to her office. This includes the newly captured NGOs, which are now required to report to the Office of Humanitarian Affairs, ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of humanitarian resources.

“We are committed to transparency and accountability in our humanitarian efforts,” said Queen Amb Dr. Anyatonwu. “We urge all stakeholders to work with us to ensure the success of our initiatives and protect our citizens from unauthorized activities. We will not tolerate any form of exploitation or mismanagement of humanitarian funds, and we will take all necessary measures to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.”

The UKA has assured its citizens and the international community that it is taking all necessary measures to recover the hijacked funds and bring the perpetrators to justice.
