Pro-Wike Lawmakers Gives Condition To Meet With Fubara

Dey your dey make we dey our dey. How can you wire a letter and post it on social media and expect us to honour it? You know we are not kids. The governor should properly write to the Assembly. That’s all. Thank you

The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule, has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara to properly communicate with the lawmakers instead of using social media.

This came after Fubara, through the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo, invited the Assembly to a meeting scheduled for Monday at the Government House to discuss important issues, including seating arrangements for the Assembly, unpaid allowances, and the presentation of the 2025 budget.

The 27 lawmakers loyal to former governor Nyesom Wike reacted negatively to the invitation, with Isaiah Opuende, a representative from Akuku-Toru Constituency 2, criticizing the use of social media for such a formal request.

Opuende said that the governor should communicate through official channels rather than via social media.

The lawmakers also reminded Fubara of his previous statements telling them to “stay in their lane,” asserting that the invitation should be delivered in a formal manner, as they are not children.

He stated, “It is time for us to determine our dey. When the ‘dey your dey’ started, our principal said the time for our own ‘dey your dey’ will come. Now, our ‘dey your dey’ has come.

“Dey your dey make we dey our dey. How can you wire a letter and post it on social media and expect us to honour it? You know we are not kids. The governor should properly write to the Assembly. That’s all. Thank you.”
