As the Supreme Court of Nigeria re-confirms its sack of the former HoR member representing Jechira Federal Constituency, Hon. Herman Hembe, a pressure group known as Kunav Professionals Worldwide has warned the Speaker of the House of Representatives,Hon. Dogara to immediately swear in Mrs Dorathy Mato or he himself will not set his foot in his office as the House of Representatives resume sitting.
In a statement released in Abuja and signed by the President Mr. Aaron Kaase and the PRO Engr. Martins Korinjo, the group frowned at the antics of Speaker Dogara in denying the good people of Jechira representation in the green Chambers of the National Assembly on primordial sentiments of an alleged closeness to the ousted Hembe.
‘On what basis will the Speaker refuse to swear in Mrs Mato several months after the final court in the land voided the election of Hon. Hembe and ordered that the Mrs Mato be sworn in and by his selfish action deny us representation in NASS? ‘ part of the statement read.
According to the statement, the fragrant disregard for the laws of the land by the Speaker had led them with no choice but to also stop him from representing his people and presiding over the House when the Assembly resumes sitting.
‘Kunav Professionals made up of top professionals from Jechira Federal Constituency view Dogaras action as an affront on our Constituency, thereby pushing us to exercise our right to representation. If by the first week of resumption our representative is not sworn in, we will storm the NASS and Occupy the Speakers office and stop him from representing his own Constituency and presiding as Speaker of the House of Representatives. We were not even represented when the NASS carried out an important exercise like the recent Constitutional amendment ‘, the group further said.
‘As Professionals and enlightened constituents, we thank Mr. Hembe for the time and impact he made during his time as our representative. We do not however, Comform to a situation where an electoral dispute amicably settled by the highest court in the land will turn into an issue of political manipulation by people who may not be happy with the outcome there by denying us our right to representation’ Kunav Professionals stated.
