President of Rivers Progressive Committee; Mr. Franklin Wosu yesterday declared that his group has already garnered 18,582 signatures in the move to recall the member of the House of Representatives representing Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency over poor performance and lack of effective representation.
In a statement yesterday, Wosu said that the group after a meeting of constituency stakeholders last Friday was directed to ensure that the ineffective lawmaker recall was a success.
The statement noted: “The recall process of the elderly lawmaker started three months ago when it was discovered that he had not made any impact nor had he sponsored any bill.
“However, the decision to formally take action against him was reached when his recent comments on the minister of state for education exposed him as an anti democratic lawmaker, working with Governor Amaeechi to promote All Progressive Congress, APC, activities in Rivers State”.
The group pointed out that in just three days, 500 volunteers raked in the signatures because of the unpopularity of Uchendu who usually relies on the Government House to get re-elected. The group said that more volunteers are on board and work will intensify on the project.
The group stated that Mr. Andrew Uchendu has been spreading anti-PDP messages via text messages, stressing that such action will no longer be tolerated.
“We are bringing him home, so that he can concentrate on his duty as a campaigner for Amaechi’s APC and a village elder who is used to heap insults on people of importance. The Barr Wike he is insulting has attracted two federal e-libraries, a girl child school, a faculty of law building at UNIPORT, a complete rehabilitation of the school at Rumuipirikom and several projects at the state University of Education. What has Papa Uchendu done after 10 wasted years at the House of Representatives, except to shout aye or nay”, the statement noted.
The Rivers Progressive Committee reiterated its commitment to ensuring that the South-South political agenda exemplified by President Jonathan and Barr. Wike is driven to its logical conclusion.
