Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, has called the Supreme Court’s decision on the State Assembly crisis a declaration of war against Rivers State and the demise of the nation’s judiciary, in addition to being a Black Friday in Nigeria’s fledgling democracy.

Eze also complimented and praised Fubara for being a man and for enduring the attacks of anti-democratic forces in Nigeria over the years.

The Supreme Court ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to immediately halt the flow of cash to the government of Rivers State until a legitimate House of Assembly was established.

Martin Amaewhule was also ordered by the court to immediately resume sitting with all elected members.

The court was making decisions on five appeals pertaining to the State Assembly issue.

Eze responded by saying that democracy had been dealt a serious blow by the Supreme Court’s decision, which occurred in spite of all the evidence that MPs led by Amaewhule had defected to the APC and the terrible repercussions of doing so.

Eze said “For the Supreme Court to ignore these facts and support the illegality of asking Amaewhule to continue sitting is not only unfortunate, wicked, evil, sad, undemocratic and declaration of war against the people of Rivers State and democracy in Nigeria.

“Nigerians should not think that this sad stand against Rivers State is against Gov Sim Fubara but against our democracy, so Nigerians should arise and defend our democracy.

“For the Supreme Court to order the CBN to stop forthwith the release of funds due to the State by the FG simply expose that this are all plots not only to serve the thinking of Nyesom Wike but ensure that the State that lays the Golden egg for the development and emancipation of Nigeria out of existence

“The next few days will be very interesting to see how these plots aimed at removing the Governor will play out.

“No matter whatever maybe the outcome Sim Fubara have fought a good fight by exposing how one man wants to stifle the development of the State and Pocket the common patrimony of the State into his pocket.”

Governor Similayi Fubara has committed an impeachable offense, according to Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in response to the court’s decision.

According to the former governor of River, it is unprecedented for someone to claim that three persons will form the state legislature in order to enact laws for the entire state.

Wike added that impunity in Rivers State has been abolished by the Supreme Court.

But according to the Coalition of Opposition MPs, Governor Siminalayi Fubara would still be in charge of Rivers State’s governance in spite of the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday.
