Ihunwo highlighted what he perceives as hypocrisy in the treatment of the electoral commission chairman. “Justice Enebeli was the same person the former Governor launched his book inside the Government House, Rivers State, and he (Wike) was praising him, telling him you’re a good man and you have done well for the people,” Ihunwo stated.
The former local government chairman expressed outrage at the apparent reversal of position. “The same man he wants to use the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to ridicule,” he said.
He unequivocally rejected the Assembly’s action and demanded remedial steps. “I want to condemn that move by the members of the Rivers State Assembly, and they should apologize to Justice Enebeli, because he’s a father and he has a career he has built up for himself, and he has a name,” he insisted.
He expressed dismay at what he characterized as a targeted attack on the jurist’s reputation. “So, it’s quite unfortunate that these persons will sit down wanting to run him down,” Ihunwo remarked.
The former chairman defended Justice Enebeli’s professional record, adding, “All the judgments given by Justice Enebeli, no court in Nigeria turned it. Go and verify. So, I’m wondering why Martins Amaewhule and his colleagues want to ruin such a man.”.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
