One Governor, 2 Speakers, 3 Maces With a governor, two speakers of the House of Representatives and all three clubs compete for supremacy, a political crisis that erupted in the chapter of the Rivers State People's Democratic Party (PDP) a few months ago, is fast becoming a degeneration of garden and once quiet town in a theater of the absurd .
power struggle within the party and made several victims were still expected. Remember that the former chairman of the state party, Chief GU Ake, was dismissed by the court based in Abuja, led by Justice Ishaq Bello, Monday, April 15, 2013.
The judge in this case determined by the Chief Felix Obuah, confirmed that (Obuah) and E xco state is authentic and selected executives of the PDP in Rivers State. The crisis has also been the chairman of the local government area of ââthe most viable in the state,
suspended by the Assembly of the State alleged financial irregularities. /> An interim committee was appointed, under the direction of Chikaodi Dike. But Friday, May 3, 2013, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu Mbu, acting on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, was also given to the police, who raided Obio / Akpor LGA Secretariat in Rumuodomaya, Chairman of the Interim Committee of the fire and his team.
After the Interim Committee of the bag, the Nigerian police became the owner and occupying the Secretariat to date. Crisis still engraved with the suspension of five anti-Amaechi MPs: The Honourable Evans Bapakaye bipi, Ogu / Bolo Constituency, Hon Victor Ihunwo, Phalga III Hon Martin s Amaewhule, Obio / Akpor I, The Honourable Michael Chinda obio / Akpor II, and the Hon. Kelechi Nwogu, Omuma district, 27 members of Parliament by pro-Amaechi. It was followed by the suspension of 27 members of the pro-Amaechi parliament, and later, Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, led by Felix Obuah state
The political crisis, rightly or wrongly, that is caused by the ambition of the vice-president would Amaechi in 2015. State was literally put on an even great achievements under the threat of state government stand. It is not disputed that one of the successes of Governor Amaechi is the restoration of security in the state that was once under siege by armed militants and lost. The government has spent so much on safety and the results were favorable. But the crisis has threatened the peace enjoyed by the citizens, especially after militants surrendered their weapons and accepted the amnesty granted to them by the federal government.
As things are now, the "bad boys" emerged from the blues, pending that will commit to do odd jobs, even beans. State crisis has undoubtedly provided a platform for the 'kids' to boldly go out to cause problems. Some of them even hired to take an anti-Amaechi recently in Port Harcourt.
involvement of former activists became public Tuesday, July 9, 2013, when five members are Amaechi anti-parliamentary force in the House of Assembly of the State, in order to attack the President, Rt. Otelemaba D. Amachree. Amnesty identity card found even in one of those arrested by the police. Rivers are not native now regrets that some politicians to bring them back to the dark days of militancy. Also on Tuesday, when lawmakers from accessing anti-Amaechi in the House of Assembly, they were "appointed" Evans bipi, the election by majority vote, that the new Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Among other things, bipi quickly announced the cancellation of 15 of the 27 members of the pro-Amae chi parliament. What played at River House of Assembly, in which five members of the House deferred to the President "impeachment", calls for a question, where in the indictment of Nigerian constitution elected political office holders. At least, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not specify how the chosen occupation in the country position could be removed from office. Furthermore quirks five members trying to remove all speakers supported by 27 members, Rivers State crisis has also produced three masses in the Assembly of the State. There is confusion now, well, who is in possession of the original mass, genuine or real, a symbol of the authority of the House.
Some people argue that the mass, which is used by the group bipi is false. The other is the view that is used by Chidi Lloyd, head grinding Honor Michael Chinda, representing Obio / Akpor constituency II is false. However, some people claim that the original mass taken and fixed by the G overnor Chibuike Amaechi when he stormed the Assembly complex with security details, the hubbub of the heat.
Honourable Evans says bipi and Rivers PDP leadership, it also means that the Rivers House of Assembly now has two speakers, a fake and authentic. Said that the current efforts to determine who is actually in possession of the original mass three masses currently circulating in the state.
What is also worrying is the role of the police in the whole saga. The police are supposed to be neutral, apolitical and fair to all, seem to take sides. Role of the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu Mbu still hit the suspect.
In fact, he came out to deny that he has taken the lead in Abuja, Amaechi to destabilize the government, he and his officers are however a point to do otherwise. It is on record that
Another anomie is open involvement in the crisis of the police who took part in the war among politicians. They were joined by their politicians attached to engage in fisticuffs with their opponents. In the State Assembly on Tuesday, a police officer threatened to kill her if she continues to challenge the policy, it is attached. Police Commissioner of the surprise of many when he said that the 27-member parliament reconvened on Tuesday in order to adopt a resolution for his reinstatement. It is no less a political statement. Mbu is really an agent of the political police, because he was accused of?
We also wondered why the Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, the central character of the crisis has threatened to launch a peaceful protest if the IG went ahead to move the region the CP River. As things are still terrible and only time will tell how to dance it will end.
