    Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State and Labour Party’s Presidential candidate in the 2023 election has sent a message to Labour Party members in the National Assembly.

    He urged them to oppose the removal of Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

    In a press statement shared on his verified Facebook account, Obi stated that he has refrained from commenting on lawmakers’ activities to allow them to focus on their duties. However, he found it necessary to speak out due to the questionable circumstances surrounding Fubara’s removal.

    He stated:

    I urge you to stand as true defenders of justice. Do not participate in or support any action, decision, or vote that compromises the integrity of our democracy, undermines the interests of the people of Rivers State, or contradicts our core values of fairness, equity, and transparency.
     
    Since your inauguration as Distinguished, and Honorable members of the National Assembly, I have refrained from interfering in your legislative affairs out of respect for your independence and to allow you to focus on alleviating the suffering of the Nigerian people.

    However, at this critical juncture — following 26 years of a deteriorating democratic process marked by disregard for educational qualifications for electoral positions, massive rigging, and now the unconstitutional removal of elected officeholders — I find it necessary to address you. These unconstitutional actions have far-reaching negative implications for our democracy and the will of the people.

     
    “We must not allow ourselves to become instruments of injustice or contribute to the betrayal of the people’s mandate. At this moment, we must prioritize what is right over what is wrong or convenient, remaining steadfast in defending the well-being of the people of Rivers State.
     
    “Together, let us stand firm in our resolve — because a new Nigeria is possible!” Obi said.
