(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/studyrty/treasurenaija.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121The allegations that the National Assembly members received bribes to support President Bola Tinubu\u2019s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers has been denied by Rep. Yusuf Galambi (NNPP \u2013 Jigawa). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galambi, who represents Gwaram Federal Constituency, said this in a statement on Saturday in Kaduna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lawmaker\u2019s clarification came amidst controversy surrounding the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers, with some groups accusing the national assembly of being compromised in its decision making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galambi argued that there was no truth to claims that lawmakers were induced or coerced into endorsing the President\u2019s action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, majority of members supported the decision due to their commitment to saving democracy and protecting interests of people of the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lawmaker explained that the national assembly\u2019s decision was guided by a desire to ensure patriotism, political cohesion, peace and protection of democratic institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was surprised with posts, especially about lies and mischief perpetuated against us, that we collected some inducement or rather being coerced to pass the resolution, supporting Mr President\u2019s action in Rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe majority of our members supported the good efforts of Mr President to save democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe decision was taken to save Gov. Siminalayi Fubara, who is facing a lot of political challenges and maneuvering by a group of members of the Rivers House of Assembly, which may lead to his impeachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNigerians should appreciate the role of the national assembly for asking the President to form a reconciliation team of eminent Nigerians before expiration of the six months emergency rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cContrary to the emotional perspective of opposition, civil society groups and others; in the national assembly, we look at issues from the perspective of patriotism, political cohesion, peace, to save democratic components including people, governor and members of the Rivers State Assembly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Galambi noted that democracy must be protected, while advising Nigerians to give peace a chance by allowing Tinubu to finetune best ways of resolving the crises through dialogue and unity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
