Activist Annkio Briggs: Rivers People, Not Lawmakers, Should Decide Governor's Fate
Nigerian activist Annkio Briggs emphasized that the decision on the governor's tenure in Rivers State should be determined by the people, not the state lawmakers. She made this statement in response to the ongoing impeachment saga involving the Rivers State House of Assembly during an interview with Channel Television.
Briggs argued that the power to decide the governance of Rivers State rests with the people and not with the members of the state assembly. She maintained that the lawmakers do not have the authority to dictate who the people of the state should vote for in the next election.
