...says, IMHA members, poor students of history.
The apex sociocultural organization in Imo East senatorial district, Olu Owerri has berated some members of the Imo House of Assembly for betraying the people of the state at a time of great tragedy against good governance in the state which was hard won but truncated by the supreme court on January 14.
Reacting to the motion of the House for banning of peaceful protests and arrest of the INEC Returning officer and Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Prof. Francis Ezeonu for declaring the result of 2019 governorship election in Imo State, the President Chief Martin Opara and Secretary of the organization, Barr. Sylvester Nwogu disowned the house members and reminded them that posterity will reward them for betraying their people for a pot of portage.
The group insisted that it is unfortunate that lawmakers who should be custodians of the constitution, will condescend so low to the point of stifling freedom of speech and movement which are guaranteed in the Nigerian Constitution.
According to them, " It is not the business of the Imo State House of Assembly; a legislature, to pass a vote of confidence or vote of no confidence on the the Supreme Court; the judiciary.
This action exposes the most pathetic level of incompetence, lack of knowledge of the most basic idea of legislative responsibilities and an embarrassment to the executive, whom they have succeeded in portraying as holding them hostage. It is an embarrassment for the Chief Press Secretary of the Supreme Court declared Governor to assume the position of the Imo House of Assembly spokesman, by issues releases to announce that the Assembly called for the arrest of the Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC, the same man who announced their victories in the same election".
The group insisted that the judgement of the Supreme Court remains a setback to the solid foundation of good governance laid in Imo State by the massive election of Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and called on the Supreme Court to have a second look at the errors in calculation and fraudulent misrepresentation that led the Apex Court to such anti people judgement.
