Hon. Nyeche of All Progressive Congress, APC, was last year declared winner of the House of Assembly election in Phalga Constituency 1 in Rivers state. According to Facebook user Adokiya Oyagiri the APC member stormed into the house of Assembly and demanded to be sworn in.
Her swearing into the 8th assembly had earlier been stopped by a court order due to a case filed by political activist, Livingstone Wechie who accused Victoria Nyeche of impersonation.
Livingstone in his suit says the alleged use of the said letter headed paper by Nyeche amounts to fraud and impersonation by the APC House member.
Counsel to Livingstone Wechie, Kingsley Chukwu said the order takes immediate effect on the Rivers state House of Assembly and the defendant, Victoria Nyeche will not be sworn-in as a member of the Rivers state House of Assembly.
Hon. Nyeche on her part said she is not aware of any order stopping her from being sworn-in.
Nyeche said, “No court can stop me from carrying out my constitutional duty as an elected member of the legislature.”
