Rivers Crisis: Fubara Oversteps Bounds, Falana Spits Fire

Published

on

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has criticized Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara for directing the state assembly to meet at the Government House, citing the independence of the legislature from the executive.

Falana, speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, argued that Fubara’s executive order relocating the assembly’s sitting venue was unlawful. He referenced a previous Supreme Court ruling that nullified the impeachment of a governor conducted outside the House of Assembly premises.

“The house is independent of the executive. So the governor cannot tell the house where to sit,” Falana emphasized. He added that any sitting of the House outside the premise of the House of Assembly complex would not be recognized by law.

Fubara had issued the executive order citing the unsafe state of the House of Assembly complex, but Falana insisted that the governor had overstepped his bounds.

A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to share the heart rending story of how she lost her three-year-old son hours after allowing his father to take him for the weekend.

The sad mother, who had single-handedly raised her son after being abandoned during pregnancy, expressed deep sorrow and regret over her decision to let his father back into their lives.

According to her, the child’s father had denied responsibility when she was pregnant and made no effort to be part of their son’s life until he returned from abroad, got married, and sought forgiveness. In an attempt to foster a relationship between father and son, she allowed him to take the boy for a weekend visit—an act she now deeply regrets.
