Rivers State Political Saga: Nwanosike Accuses Ikenga of Seeking Financial Gains

opera.com 2024/10/5

In a recent TVC News interview, Samuel Nwanosike, the embattled chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area (LGA), responded to comments made by Ikenga Ugochinyere, spokesperson for the 'G60 lawmakers' in the House of Representatives. Nwanosike accused Ikenga of attempting to secure financial benefits from Governor Fubara rather than pursuing legal procedures, following the Court of Appeal's ruling on the sack of 27 lawmakers led by Martin Amaewhule in Rivers State.

Nwanosike criticized Ikenga's statement that the Court of Appeal's decision did not overturn the lawmakers' sack, emphasizing that Governor Fubara has accepted the ruling and plans to seek further interpretation from the Supreme Court, which is the proper legal approach. He questioned Ikenga's claim of having the support of 60 National Assembly members, suggesting that he only has a few followers.

Nwanosike urged Ikenga to refrain from inciting trouble and instead follow the legal process. He stated, "Ikenga is looking for money from Governor Fubara, who has agreed with the judgment of the Court of Appeal... Governor Fubara has accepted the judgment and is going to the Supreme Court for further interpretation. That is the right thing to do, not to come and incite crisis."
