Respected figure in the Kalabari Kingdom Alhaji Asari Dokubo has expressed concerns on the demolition of the Rivers State House of Assembly, saying that the people of Rivers State should demand accountability for this action.
Dokubo discussed his opinions on the subject this morning in a live video on his Facebook page. He underlined that the governor’s job as an elected official is to represent the interests of the people of Rivers State, not his or her own. Dokubo calls for a collective demand for accountability since, in his opinion, the decision to destroy the House of Assembly was unjustified.
In his own words as seen on his Facebook page…
“Whoever advised the governor to take this bad decision, the governor will have to come out and explain to the people why he decided to demolish our house of Assembly. First it was a fire in the hallowed chambers, now it’s to demolish the house of assembly shamelessly. Anyone responsible for the burning of the hallowed chambers and now the demolition of the House of Assembly should be fished out, if Sim is responsible, he should be held by the Rivers people. He has to come out and explain to the people why he demolished the House. If it’s Wike, he should also be held accountable and with whoever is supporting them.”
“By what purpose was the action taken? Does his interest outweigh the interest of Rivers people? Was he elected to serve the interests of Rivers people or Rivers people were elected to serve his interest?”
