The Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has commended the recent Supreme Court ruling on the legal dispute between Rivers State Governor Siminialayi Fubara and the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, along with 26 other lawmakers.
'This ruling is not merely a legal decision; it is a clarion call for governance steeped in collaboration, respect, and adherence to constitutional mandates. The organization blamed political 'hawks' surrounding Fubara for his current predicament, accusing them of steering him away from sound governance and urging him to ignore the reconciliatory advice of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Ohanaeze further stressed that Governor Fubara's legal battles inadvertently validated the Assembly’s legitimacy and urged him to cease actions that undermine constitutional order. 'Such actions cannot and will not be tolerated by the electorate or by history,' the statement continued. 'Governor Fubara must recognize that the sooner he capitulates to the will of the people through their elected representatives, the better it will be for his overall legacy as a leader,' the group stated.
