Ikenga Ugochinyere, member of the House of Representatives, has called on governors under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to gather in Rivers State as soon as possible to support Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
On his official X account, Ugo Chinyere criticized the actions of police officers in the upcoming election as ‘treasonable’.
According to the lawmaker, the right of Rivers people to vote is under attack from federal agents as the state prepares for its local government elections and so other PDP Governors should rally round Fubara to support him as he fights for the rights of the Rivers people.
He wrote: “Serious opposition Governors would have flown to Rivers State right now and be seen with Governor Fubara side by side as show of strong solidarity.
“The right of Rivers people to vote is under attack from federal agents and you are drinking tea. Please stop making opposition look like jokers. Let the PDP and opposition Governors fly down to Rivers State, and boldly stand with Governor Fubara who has displayed great courage to defend democracy at all costs. Those at the gate of democracy in Rivers will soon lunch attack on your states, and what you do today can make or mar our democracy.
“The alleged failed attempt by police officers to run away with electoral materials for the LGA election is a treasonable action, that requires strong condemnation and solidarity from opposition Governors. Show that you are indeed leaders of this party for once as not adults scared of pro-Wike’s group’s rantings. #Rivers LGA election is going on.”
