Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, stated on Friday that there is no need for concern regarding the Appeal Court’s decision on the crisis in the State House of Assembly.
Speaking while inspecting the reconstruction of the Zonal Hospital project in Bori Town, the headquarters of Khana Local Government Area, the governor mentioned that he remains undeterred by the appellate court’s ruling on the assembly crisis.
“I want to assure every one of you and the good people of Rivers State, that we are not deterred. We have made our promises, we will continue to give you good governance, no matter how difficult it is,” he said.
On Thursday, the Court of Appeal in Abuja overturned a Rivers High Court order that had prevented Martin Amaewhule and 24 others from acting as lawmakers in the State Assembly.
A three-member panel of the appellate court, led by Jimi Olukayode-Bada, ruled that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case, as such matters fall under the purview of the Federal High Court.
However, Fubara stated that the worst is over and that he has moved on to focus on delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Rivers State.
“But, like I said before, the worst is over. We are moving on to ensure that we continue to provide what is needed for the development of our state.
“I know that a lot of you will be wondering what is going on and all that. Government has its own challenges. If you go to the book of Psalm 23 verse 5, in the Bible, it said that God prepares a table before you; it can be before anybody. But there is an underlined word that should be noted here: it said ‘in the presence of your enemies’. So, it means that nothing comes easy.”
