Ibas Dey Talk Say Probe Na Fool’s Errand, Assembly Dey Chook Mouth

Port Harcourt, Rivers State – As e be so, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas wey don hand over de River State administrator seat don come out to reject de House of Assembly wey wan investigate am, after dem serve dem tenure during de six-month emergency rule. Ibas talk say dat probe na serious fool’s errand, say dem no fit investigate am because dem no appoint am. Chai, wahala dey come o.

During di first plenary after dem end emergency rule, Speaker Martin Amaewhule gather dem lawmakers talk say dem go probe how money almost ₦254.37 billion wey Rivers receive don waka. Ibas, wey serve under President Bola Tinubu, suggest say if dem wan probe am, dem dey indirectly say dem wan probe di President sef. E say na wetin wey no go make sense.

As di House dey craft di rules for de investigation, Ibas don turn am back to dem, dey remind dem say na di oga president go fit bathe am, no be dem wey no appoint am. Hector Igbikiowubu, im media adviser, don explain say dis action wey di lawmakers wan take na nothing but show, no be serious matter.

Baba Ibas dey talk say, “You know say governance no be masquerade dance, where money go dey vanish under costume! If dem fit probe me, dem go fit probe di national assembly too,” (Like say dem no get work to do.) I tell you, when man wan talk for here, e go put style. Dis whole thing dey bring shock for public, as many citizens dey wonder wetin dey happen with their money.

Meanwhile, civil society organizations don dey call for transparency, as dem dey insist say dem gatz know wetin happen to all di federal allocations. E be like say dem dey suspect say all dis big money wey come dem go don enter pocket wey no suppose fit collect. Money wey suppose go towards contracts and development dey waka for underground like wetin we dey see for Nollywood films.

Now wey Ibas don talk him own, di Assembly go dey under pressure to show wetin dem go do, because citizens dem no go allow for unnecessary drama to continue while dem dey hope say dem money go get better use. As e be now, na time to shine light on wetin dey happen to di allocations wey Rivers State dey collect.

At the end of di day, e go better if dis whole matter follow proper procedure and accountability go become di tradition, because na our tax money wey dey give for dis process. Rivers people no want make dem turn una eye blind while dem dey hustle for daily bread. Make everybody dey carry dey own cross well well, because na dem go fit make dis governance no just be jaga-jaga.
