Why Rivers State Federal Lawmakers Disown Their Member, Deekor

 

By: Awajis Josiah-Chijindu


The House of Representatives members from Rivers State popularly known as Rivers State Caucus have distanced themselves from a statement made by the member representing Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency, Hon. Dumnamene Deekor against the G60 spokesperson Honourable Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere.

In a statement by the leader of the Rivers State Caucus, House of Representatives, Honourable  Awaji-Inombek D. Abiante said, Hon. Deekor being a second term lawmaker cannot assume the position of Caucus Leader in the midst of 3rd and 4th term lawmakers and has no right to speak on behalf of the group.

Dr. Abiante called on the general public to discountance Hon. Deekor's statement.

RIVERS STATE REPS CAUCUS DISOWNS HON. DUM DEEKOR OVER ATTACK ON G60 SPOKESPERSON IKENGA IMO UGOCHINYERE 

SAYS RIVERS PEOPLE/CAUCUS  PROUD OF IKENGA IMO UGOCHINYERE’S UNQUENCHABLE COMMITMENT IN DEFENCE OF DEMOCRACY 


DELUSION OF GRANDEUR BY DUM DEEKOR 

The Rivers State Caucus at the House of Representatives read with dismay a statement purportedly issued by the member representing Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency, Hon. Dumnamene Deekor calling for the discipline of the Coordinator of the G-60 Lawmakers in the Green Chamber, Hon. Ugochinyere Ikenga over his position on vexed issues in the polity.

While we wouldn't stand against the popular phrase: ''everybody is entitled to his opinion'', we refused to collectively accede to Dum Deekor's self serving stands as he has never been elected by the Rivers State Caucus to speak on our behalf.

It is a trite knowledge and backed by precedence that the Leadership of the Rivers State Caucus in the House of Representatives and the National Assembly are based on seniority. Hon Dum Deekor being a second term lawmaker cannot arrogate to himself the position of Caucus Leader in the midst of 3rd and 4th term lawmakers.

For the records, Deekor was properly elected in 2019 haven lost his seat in 2015 at the Court of Appeal which barred him from being a member of the 8th Assembly. He was recently reelected in 2023 to serve his second term in the House. This alone disqualifies him to jostle for the leadership of the Rivers State Caucus.

We call on the general public to discountance Dum Deekor's statement as vituperations of a gord being.

The National Assembly is not guided by Village Council's rules and as such everyone reserves the right to make contributions inline with his innate conviction. Hon Ugochinyere has in the estimation of right thinking Nigerians proven himself in the act of quality representation.

Signed. 
Rep. Awaji-Inombek D. Abiante, PhD 

Leader, Rivers State Caucus, House of Representatives.
