The Concerned Rivers People (CRP), a coalition of indigenes of Rivers State, has refuted claims allegedly from a member of House of Representatives representing Ideato North/South federal constituency of Imo State, Hon.Ikenga Ugochinyere using platforms like the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) and the G-60 Opposition Parliamentarians to state that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is plotting to kick out governor Fubara-led government in Rivers state.

Mr. Ikenga was reported to have said, “the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Umar Iliya Damagum, and National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu were plotting to use some elements loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory to destroy all legal efforts and aid the pro-Wike APC elements to have the legal backing to attempt their impossible plot of removing the PDP government led by Gov. Fubara out of Rivers State.”

According to Mr. Ikenga, the leadership of the PDP
were opposing the move by National Legal Adviser, Ajibade, to ensure that the pro-Wike lawmakers regained their lost legitimacy.

The Communication Director of the Concerned Rivers People, (CRC), Robinson Uke, said in a statement on Saturday that nothing can be farther from the truth and should be discarded like a piece of dirty rags.

“Mr Ikenga who suddenly transformed the CUPP from Coalition of United Political Parties into an umbrella of opposition lawmakers should mind how he goes about concocting unfounded allegations in the name of becoming relevant in a political space that is completely irrelevant.

“Having failed in his primary duty of law making and having shown very dishonourable traits of using the parliament primarily for pecuniary benefits.

“Whatever is his mission which is actually tied to ‘Ghana must go’ bags need to be adequately addressed by the Nigerian public.

“Mr. Ikenga who is said to be a lawyer though known to have abandoned his education for some years due to a blackmail attempt that went wrong has consistently and painstakingly tried to interpret every judgement of court and unambiguous laws to suit his paymaster.

“If he is a lawyer as he claims, he should know that a lawyer takes his brief from his client and his advice is subject to his client’s acceptance and not binding.

“The public is urged to receive every opinion of such persons with a spoonful of salt as such opinion is one tainted with bias.

“Mr. Ikenga, a non Rivers boy, should allow the courts determine matters before it as it is prejudicial to keep taking matters before the courts to the public and accusing both court and parties of bias.

“We advise Ikenga to apply to be joined as an interested party in all the matters concerning Rivers State to justify his pay”, Robinson Uke said.
