The Secretary General of Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, Maobuye Nangi-Obu, has knocked former Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike, over the ongoing political rift in in the state.
Nangi-Obu, during an interview
on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday, said that Wike cannot come from
anywhere to hold the state hostage.
Nangi-Obu said: “There is a
court of competence jurisdiction in Port Harcourt, just recently, and that
court gave a verdict that Ehi Ogerenye Edisson is the speaker and his faction
is the authentic House of Assembly members, whether they are one, two, three or
they are 10 that is immaterial, but their number should now form the normal
number and by the virtue of that judgement, that only can also be tested in
another court competent jurisdiction, if that same court can also give another
verdict to say that Edison is no more the speaker and by virtue of that
pronouncement, the competent speaker and the authentic speaker of the Rivers
state assembly sat with his people and he also declared vacant the other 27.
“There is a court judgement
that has given authenticity to a speaker and his people, those people will form
the 100 percent that is needed and by virtue of that the INEC is directed or
mandated to conduct elections for 27 office.
“One man from anywhere cannot
hold Rivers State hostage… Does the current governor even have what it takes to
lead us aright, we are watching but the point is that we cannot judge this
young man if you (Wike) do not allow him to breathe.
“You had the state in your
pocket for 8 years everything was all bout you, you still want it to be all
about you, No.”
