A lawyer and activist, Justice Osai Ahiakwo, has hailed the five PDP lawmakers who selected amongst themselves a Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly as having shown reasonable commitment to perform their constitutional duties in governance.

In an interview in Calabar, Ahiakwo said that for the five to elect Victor Oko-Jumbo as the Speaker, conveys a strong message that not all the lawmakers are APC members and a demonstration of legitimacy.

'They must function to uphold the integrity of the legislative arm of government provided by the said 1999 Constitution,' he said. He was not worried that their action could hamper peace and unity in Rivers State. 'I am convinced that the age-long tradition of the Rivers people, known for their peaceful disposition and coexistence, will endure regardless of whether the political scam was pushed by some perceived influential or greedy politicians.
