2014 Rivers Budget: Product of doctrine ofnecessity – APC

PORT HAROURT — AS reactions continue to trail the
2014 Rivers State budget, All Progressives
Congress, APC, in the state, has described the
same day presentation and passage of the budget
as a demonstration of the doctrine of necessity.
Interim state

Chairman of the party, Dr. Davies
Ibiamu Ikanya, in statement in Port Harcourt,
yesterday, commended the state House of
Assembly for speedily debating and passing the
budget, as this would enable the wheel of
government to run without undue encumbrances.
He said: “This is another demonstration of the
doctrine of necessity for which the lawmakers
should be commended. While we look forward to
reopening of the state Assembly Complex presently
under siege, it would be wrong to bring governance
to a halt because it is the masses who will suffer
and not Governor Amaechi as an individual,” Ikanya
said.
In the statement by Chukwuemeka Eze, his media
aide, the state APC boss said it was contradictory
that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, went to
court and got judgment invalidating National
Assembly takeover of the Rivers legislature.
