Rivers State governor, Sim Fubara has dropped a bombshell.
He said: “Those group of men who claim that are Assembly members are not Assembly members, they are not existing. I want it to be on record. I accepted that Peace Accord to give them a floating.”
“That is the truth. There was nothing in that Peace Accord that’s a constitutional issue; it’s a political solution to a problem.”
“And I accepted it because these were people that were eating in my house, these were people I have helped pay their children’s school fees when I wasn’t even a governor. So, what is the thing there?”
“We might have our division but I believe that one day, we could also come together but it has gotten to a time when I have to make a statement that they are not existing.”
“Their existence is me allowing them to exist. If I de-recognise them, they are nowhere. I want you to see the sacrifice I have made in allowing peace to reign in our state.”
