A coalition of opposition House of Representatives members has commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State for complying with the Supreme Court’s ruling regarding local government elections in the state. The lawmakers praised Gov. Fubara’s decision to appoint heads of personnel to oversee the affairs of local government councils, pending fresh elections. Rep. Ikenga Ugochinyere, spokesperson for the coalition, lauded Gov. Fubara for his democratic stance, despite provocations from groups loyal to Minister Nyesom Wike. “The Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court have yet to make pronouncements on their illegal decampment. Until then, their seats remain vacant,” Ugochinyere emphasized. He noted that the 27 pro-Wike lawmakers who defected from the PDP to the APC in 2023 “remain constitutionally sacked” until a higher court rules on pending cases. The coalition urged citizens to remain calm, assuring that the opposition remains committed to pursuing legal and peaceful resolutions to uphold constitutional order. Ugochinyere announced that the coalition would address the nation formally after obtaining the certified true copy of the Supreme Court judgment.
