Chidi Lloyd Claims Fubara Is Operating Without Commissioners

Chidi Lloyd Claims Fubara Is Operating Without CommissionersFormer Rivers State lawmaker Chidi Lloyd has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of operating a solo administration. During an interview with Arise News on Friday, Lloyd claimed that Fubara has not appointed any commissioners to his government.

“Nobody has bothered to notice that the governor of Rivers State is running a solo government because, one, he has no commissioners, and two, he has no appropriation,” Lloyd stated.

His remarks come in the wake of criticism regarding the Federal High Court’s ruling that prohibits the Central Bank of Nigeria from disbursing funds to Rivers State. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has previously threatened to cease all duties performed by its members unless the ruling is overturned.

Lloyd also called on the National Assembly to consider enacting legislation that would criminalize disparaging comments about judicial officers. “It’s unfortunate that we’ve reached a point where people freely cast aspersions on judicial officers. I urge the National Assembly to protect them through appropriate legislation,” he said.

Regarding the alleged defections of certain lawmakers, Lloyd asserted that the actions of Martins Amaewhule and his colleagues do not constitute defection. He clarified, “A mere announcement in the Rivers State House of Assembly expressing a preference for the All Progressives Congress (APC) does not legally amount to defection.
