Wike: Defected Lawmakers Are Gone – Fubara Declares (Video)

-

- Advertisment -

Gov Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has stated that the seats of the former Speaker of the 10th Assembly of the State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule and other state lawmakers who dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress remain vacant.

Fubara made this known during a solidarity visit by opinion leaders, women, and youths of Etche and Omuma Local Government Areas led by Ogbakor Etche at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Wednesday.

In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara urged the former lawmakers to wake up from their slumber to see the ship of governance in the state sailing on smoothly.

Fubara stated he had decided to help the defected lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for the sake of unity.

Fubara also said that his administration has started preparing details of the 2025 Appropriation Bill, with priority placed on education, healthcare, and agriculture.

He said, “Let me assure you that agriculture is an area that we have promised the very special and peace-loving people of Rivers State that our 2025 budget, which we have already started preparing, will address.

“Don’t bother about those people who are delusional. They think we are still sleeping. Let me tell you people so that they can hear anywhere they are.

I wanted to help them, sincerely because I know them. And I have said it before, these are people that I have helped. I paid their children’s school fees. I paid their house rent. So, I wanted to help them.

“We all knew what happened when they crossed (defected), and how did they cross? Because of our God, for them to make that mistake, they crossed! They are gone, and they are gone. Now, let me tell you: when I wanted to help them, I accepted to help them because we are all one. We disagree to agree as it is said.”


Speaking, Fubara also promised to prioritize the provision of quality healthcare and education for the citizens.

He added, “Our children need to go to quality schools. Even if they can’t go to private schools, let them go to the public ones that have standards. We need to go to good health facilities owned by the government and get standard healthcare services.

“Even if we cannot afford those private hospitals, when you go to the public ones, you can get the same services with qualified professionals. That is our thinking.

“And when we get to the issue of agriculture, it will address the issue of unemployment. When we start engaging our youths, they won’t have time to be involved in crime. So, our thinking is to secure and protect our State.”
