Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct nPDP, has strongly criticized members of the Rivers State National Assembly Caucus, labeling them an “assemblage of habitual adult bedwetters.”

Eze condemned their recent communiqué, dismissing it as baseless and exposing their ignorance regarding the protracted leadership crisis within the Rivers State House of Assembly.

He accused the lawmakers of focusing on political schemes rather than fulfilling their legislative responsibilities.

“Withdrawing the appeal at the Supreme Court by the governor and the dismissal of the suit with cost had nothing to do with the case of defection. Rather than flying a kite and being preemptive, I advise the Rivers State National Assembly Caucus to face their duties in the NASS.

Nigerians are waiting to hear from the Apex Court, let us tarry a while and see what happens.”

Blames INEC for the Crisis

Eze further blamed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for failing to conduct by-elections to fill the vacant seats of 27 defected lawmakers, accusing INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, of enabling the crisis.

“I blame the INEC for not being alive to its statutory role as an independent umpire. The 27 lawmakers and their demigod are boasting and parading themselves as lawmakers because Prof. Yakubu Mahmood has refused to obey the court and conduct bye-elections to replace the vacant positions in the Rivers State House of Assembly.”

Defends Governor Fubara’s Decision

Addressing the role of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Eze defended his decision to withdraw legal actions, stating that it was done out of respect for President Bola Tinubu’s intervention in the crisis.

He warned that if Fubara is humiliated for complying with the president’s truce request, history will not be kind to Tinubu.

“If President Tinubu allows Fubara to be humiliated for respecting him as an elder and President of Nigeria, then posterity will never be fair to President Tinubu.”

He also criticized the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, alleging that he is working to suppress opposition in Rivers State in favor of APC’s dominance.

Calls for Supreme Court Resolution

Eze reaffirmed his confidence in the Supreme Court’s upcoming verdict on the Rivers Assembly crisis, stressing that no amount of political manipulation can override democratic principles in the state.

“No amount of intimidation, conspiracy, arm-twisting, or murdering the law will make the people of Rivers State fold their hands and watch anti-democratic forces hijack the state from the ruling PDP.”

Conclusion

Eze urged the Rivers State lawmakers to focus on their legislative duties rather than engaging in divisive politics, reiterating that their roles are to create laws and serve their constituents.

He also called on INEC to conduct the necessary bye-elections to restore legitimacy to the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has filed a lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, seeking an immediate reinstatement as the head of the state legislature.

According to court documents obtained by Lagos Reporters, Obasa argues that his removal on January 13, 2025, was unlawful and unconstitutional.

The lawsuit, filed on February 14, 2025, lists Lasbat Mojisola Meranda—the current Speaker—and the Lagos State House of Assembly as defendants.

The legal battle follows unsuccessful attempts to resolve the leadership dispute through political negotiations.

Sources revealed that several high-level meetings involving Lagos and Abuja political stakeholders took place to broker peace. However, these efforts reportedly failed to yield a resolution.

Some lawmakers fear that reinstating Obasa could lead to political retaliation against those who supported his removal.

With the court now set to decide the leadership fate of the Lagos Assembly, the outcome could have significant implications for the state’s legislative stability.

More updates to follow as the case unfolds.
