Martin Amaehwule, other Rivers Assembly members heroes of democracy – African Patriots

Published

on

The African Patriots Forum [APF] has commended the Rivers State Assembly lawmakers, led by Speaker Martin Amaehwule, for their exemplary leadership and commitment to democracy.

The group said the lawmakers’ decision to seek legal redress, rather than resorting to violence, attests to their maturity and dedication to upholding the principles of democracy.

In a statement signed by its Global President, Dr Lanre Solomon, the group said the Supreme Court’s verdict, which validated the lawmakers’ status as the authentic representatives of the people, is a significant milestone in their struggle to assert their authority and promote good governance in Rivers State.

“The lawmakers, led by Amaehwule, have demonstrated unwavering commitment to upholding the principles of democracy, justice, truth, and the people’s interests,” the statement added. 

“Their bravery in standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity, shows their strong convictions and dedication to the well-being of their constituents.

“By consistently choosing to side with democracy and justice, they have inspired hope and confidence in the people, showing that their voices are heard and valued.

“The lawmakers’ actions have not only promoted accountability and transparency but have also protected the rights of citizens, ensuring that the democratic process is respected.

“As Martin Luther King Jr. once said: ‘The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy’. The lawmakers have indeed shown where they stand, and their people will forever be grateful.”

The African Patriots Forum [APC] warned Governor Siminalayi Fubara to take heed of the Supreme Court’s verdict and desist from any further actions that may be deemed contemptuous.

“Governor Fubara must quit playing games and respect the court orders. The Supreme Court’s verdicts are clear and unequivocal, and it is imperative that the Governor desists from any further actions that may be deemed contemptuous.

“The people of Rivers State have suffered enough from the Governor’s antics, and it is time for him to put the interests of the state and its people above his own personal agenda.

“The Governor’s continued disregard for the rule of law and the court orders is a recipe for chaos and anarchy. It is time for him to put the interests of the people first and respect the institutions of democracy.

“We call on all stakeholders in Rivers State to support the lawmakers in their efforts to promote good governance and democracy. The lawmakers’ actions are a powerful reminder that democracy is not just about winning elections, but also about upholding the principles of justice, equality, and fairness.”

Renewed Hope Group Welcomes Tinubu’s Appointment of Faleke as Deputy Secretary for Party Outreach

Published

on

The Renewed Hope Advocacy Network (RHAN) has described the appointment of Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke as Deputy Secretary for Party Outreach, Engagement, and Mobilisation of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (South West zone) as a well-earned recognition of merit, loyalty, and proven capacity.

In a statement released today and signed by its Convener, Opialu M. Opialu, the grassroots organisation praised President Bola Tinubu for entrusting the strategic role to a man widely regarded as one of his most dependable and longest-serving political allies.

“Rt. Hon. James Faleke’s appointment is the logical elevation of a tested hand who has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, organisational brilliance, and rock-solid loyalty to President Tinubu and the Renewed Hope project,” Opialu stated.

The statement highlighted Faleke’s critical contribution during the 2023 presidential campaign, where he served as National Secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.

Describing the lawmaker as the engine room coordinator of nationwide mobilisation efforts, the group credited him with bridging ethnic, regional, and ideological divides, galvanising party structures, and sustaining momentum even amid intense opposition.

“Despite daunting challenges, he never flinched. His strategic mind, tireless work ethic, and unshakeable belief in Asiwaju’s vision were decisive factors in delivering the Tinubu-Shettima victory,” the statement added.

RHAN also underscored Hon. Faleke’s legendary loyalty, noting that for over two decades he has remained a consistent pillar of support for President Tinubu across multiple political battles and campaigns.

“In an era when political fidelity is increasingly rare, Rt. Hon. Faleke stands out as a shining example of principle, sacrifice, and steadfastness.

“His faithfulness has inspired countless party members and remains one of the strongest proof to the enduring bond between him and our President,” Opialu remarked.

On the legislative front, the statement celebrated Faleke’s distinguished record as the representative of Ikeja Federal Constituency.

Looking ahead, RHAN expressed confidence that Faleke’s wealth of experience will now supercharge grassroots engagement, strengthen party structures in the South West, and deepen national support for the implementation of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“We are convinced that this appointment will inject fresh energy into our mobilisation efforts and set the stage for even greater electoral and governance successes in the years ahead,” Opialu concluded.

The Renewed Hope Advocacy Network wished Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke “resounding success” in his new assignment and prayed for continued wisdom, strength, and divine guidance as he discharges his duties.
