The Parliamentary Watch Initiative (PWI) has thrown its weight behind the House of Representatives’ endorsement of the state of emergency in Rivers State, stating that the process followed due process and legislative best practices.
According to PWI, the House met the required quorum before voting to support President Bola Tinubu’s request, dismissing allegations that the resolution was rushed or improperly handled ¹.
Dr. Matthew Gabriel, Executive Director of PWI, revealed that an independent investigation confirmed the transparency of the process. “After carefully reviewing the proceedings, we can confidently say that the decision was made in line with legislative best practices,” he said.
Gabriel also debunked claims of bribery, describing them as baseless attempts to discredit the National Assembly. “There is no evidence of any financial inducement. The lawmakers acted in the interest of national stability and security.”
PWI reiterated its commitment to parliamentary transparency and accountability, ensuring democratic principles are upheld. Gabriel urged Nigerians to trust their elected representatives and reject misinformation aimed at discrediting the National Assembly.
