PRESENT THE STATE BUDGET OR BE IMPEACHED…RRM to Gov Fubara
The leadership of Rivers Restoration Movement in partnership with the good people from the Rivers Ijaw extraction have heartily congratulated the leader of Rivers State politics and FCT Minister, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike CON, a man that God used to deliver the Rivers Ijaws from political extinction in 2023 and the Speaker, Rivers State House Of Assembly, Rt Hon Matins Amaewhule, the 26 other Honourable Assembly Members as well as the entire political leadership that stood firm for truth on their well deserved victory at the supreme court.
The group, RRM in a statement said the development proved that the Judiciary remains the last hope of the common man.
The statement jointly signed by the Director General of RMM, Hon Johnson Georgewill and the Secretary, RMM Mrs Sarima Akpata, the group used the opportunity to specially thank the Supreme Court Justices led by Justice Emmanuel Agim for cementing the power of the Judiciary, owing to the fact that the Governor, Siminialayi Fubara’s government has a penchant of disobeying valid court rulings at every opportunity.
According to the statement issued to media houses in Port Harcourt; “It is on the premise of this landmark victory at the Supreme Court and actions taken by major actors after the verdict that Rivers Restoration Movement in partnership with true Rivers Ijaws take the following stand”:
1) The project commissioning that began on Monday March 3, 2025 is illegal, vexatious and a clear sign that Governor Siminialayi Fubara has chosen to continue disobeying valid court rulings because the Judgement was clear that the Rivers State Government should not spend a dime without appropriation. So one begins to wonder where funds was gotten for this 10-day Government function, when we all know the 2024 and 2025 budget are all illegal.
2) RRM is calling on Rt Hon Matins Amaewhule and his Assembly members to rise up and defend democracy in Rivers State because only them have the constitutional mandate to act in partnership with the Nigerian Police. The time for us has come to ensure all illegal appointments, spendings and actions by the Rivers State Government are haulted until a proper budget is presented. The 10th Assembly should also not hesitate to WIELD THE BIG STICK OF IMPEACHMENT, if the Governor continues on the part of illegality because we know the statewide broadcast by Governor Fubara was completely watery as regards the main issue of budget presentation.
3) Finally, RRM is calling on all leaders in Rivers State, Clergy, Politicians, Opinion Leaders and Traditional Rulers from all tribes to stand up for the truth and advice the Governor to respect our democracy. As a group that stood firm for powershift to the Rivers Ijaw axis in 2023 and supported the former Governor and leader of Rivers State politics His Excellency, Nyesom Wike to ensure Governor Siminialayi Fubara emerges against all odds, we are bold to say that our continuous opposition to all betrayals and illegal actions by the State Government remains strong because TRUTH AND JUSTICE WILL ALWAYS REIGN SUPREME IN THE MIDST OF UNGRATEFUL ACT.
