Former Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Oji Ngofa, has declared that the defecting members of the Rivers State House of Assembly have effectively forfeited their positions, during a recent appearance on Symfoni TV from 3:34.
“As far as my understanding of the law is concerned, they are not members of the Rivers State House of Assembly. They have voluntarily vacated their seats unless the issues in court say otherwise,” Ngofa stated firmly. He emphasized the current functionality of the state legislature without these members, adding, “As far as I’m concerned, the state has been operating without them. They are not members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.”
The former APC official further stressed that public trust in these lawmakers has been severely compromised. “And of course, we have lost faith in them, and I think that’s even more important than the position of the law, if you ask me,” he declared.
Ngofa concluded by questioning the legitimacy of their representative roles, stating, “Because if you’re representing somebody who doesn’t think that you represent their interest, whatever you do there is of no use. You’ve lost that quality or moral support to continue representing the people.”
