All Progressive Congress has disclosed that Governor Fubara cannot abrogate the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and cannot be governor and be despot-in-chief of the Rivers state House of Assembly, at the same time. This was disclosed by National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka in a press conference in Abuja
He said, attempting to impose an illegal 3-man House of Assembly, is executive lawlessness in the extreme. Noted that Governor Fubara’s quest to repudiate the Constitution and govern in denial of the existence of the state legislature is, in and of itself, among other grounds, an impeachable offense.
APC therefore, condemned the rate of attack on State house of assembly by Rivers State Governor, Fubara, stating that it is violation of constitution. He said, Governor Fubara’s attack on the House of Assembly and its leadership is in flagrant disrespect of the order of a court of law and a violent violation of the express provisions of the Constitution.
“His demolition of the Rivers state House of Assembly complex remains one of the most brazen attacks on democratic institutions in our nation’s history. And there is now grave apprehension that he may be spoiling to demolish the House of Assembly residential quarters in Port Harcourt, built only two years ago, following his recent gestapo-like invasion of the Assembly quarters.
He said that, “we strongly counsel Governor Fubara to submit himself to the dictates of the Constitution and the rule of law. Governor Fubara’s weaponization of demolition of public assets as a strategy to dislodge and punish legitimate members of the legislature is nothing short of petty despotism and must be roundly condemned.
