G-60 Faults Rivers Assembly Override Of Fubara’s Bill On LG

 

KINGSLEY BENNETH, ABUJA

 

ABUJA : G60, a Coalition of opposition lawmakers in the tenth National Assembly has faulted the controversial amendment and passage in law, Rivers State Local Government (Amendment) Bill by Rivers State House of Assembly.

 

The Rivers State House of Assembly had on Monday passed the amended Bill into law overriding the assent of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

 

Reacting to the development, opposition lawmakers in the House of Representatives, in a statement signed by its spokesperson Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere stated the passage of the bill is unenforceable and an invitation to anarchy.

 

Ugochinyere stated that the ‘decamped’ Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers House of Assembly are illegitimate and has no right to enact, amend or veto any law hence it’s unenforceable and legislative rascality taken too far.

 

They wondered how far the “illegitimate” lawmakers who are loyalists of Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike are willing go destabilise the government of Fubara and breaching the presidential peace accord.

 

The federal lawmakers accused Amaewhule and his colleagues of entangling in unconstitutionality, stating that the passage of the amended Bill into law overriding the assent of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, is an exercise in futility.

 

They called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP to arrest and prosecute the decamped Rivers lawmakers for criminally tampering with Rivers LGA law.

 

The federal lawmakers said, “The audacity of the Decamped Rivers State House of Assembly passing the Rivers State Local Government (Amendment) Bill into law overriding the assent of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, is legislative rascality taken too far.

 

“Amaewhule and his cohorts are on a spree of amending several laws, even when they are still not lawmakers in the eyes of the law.

 

This is in reference to Section 109(1g) of the 1999 Constitution as amended. So it’s laughable for the supposed lawmakers to assume that such law can take retrospective effect.

 

“Decamped’ Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers House of Assembly are illegitimate and have no right to enact, amend or veto any law hence its unenforceable and legislative rascality taken too far.

 

We therefore call on the Inspector General of Police, IGP to arrest and prosecute the decamped Rivers lawmakers for criminally tampering with Rivers LGA law.”
