The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has slammed Governor Similayi Fubara.
He accused Fubara of committing an impeachable offence following a Supreme Court ruling today.
The erstwhile River’s Governor said it was unheard of where someone will say that three people will constitute the state assembly to make law for the entire state.
The Minister’s comment comes after the Supreme court’s ruling on Friday, which nullified the recent local government elections in Rivers State.
The court also upheld the legitimacy of the 27-member of the Martin Amaewhule-led State Assembly.
In an interview with reporters following the development, Wike said that the court made it clear that we can’t have a democracy without the legislature.
According to him, the matter has been laid to rest by the highest court of the land.
He said: “There’s nothing like Amaehule faction. Well the court said that the budget should be presented to the reconstituted State Assembly, which is the authentic State Assembly.
“First of all we give God all the glory and honor that today being 28th February, 2025. I always say that the wheel of justice is sluggish but it will always come when it will come. This matter has been laid to rest by the highest court of the land. The Supreme Court has made it clear that we can’t have a democracy without the legislature.
“It’s unheard of where someone will say that three people will constitute an Assembly to make law for the entire state. It has nothing to do with an individual, whether you like this person’s face or not.
What’s important is: can three people make law for a state?”
