Fubara tackle Rivers lawmakers

As reported by Channels TV, Fubara condemned their actions towards his administration and said the members would cease to exist as legislators if he so decides.

The governor claimed that the lawmakers existed based on his recognition, which was predicated on the Peace Accord initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He said despite wielding state powers which he can deploy to achieve his aim, he has continued to act as the big brother in the face of intimidation and unwarranted attacks.

“I cannot worship man”, Fubara insists amid rift with Wike

He said:

“Those group of men who claim that are Assembly members are not Assembly members, they are not existing. I want it to be on record. I accepted that Peace Accord to give them a floating. That is the truth.”
