The member representing Ado/ Okpokwu/ Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, Hon Philip Agbese, said he has no regrets about taking down the portrait of Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State from his office in the National Assembly.

Agbese, who is deputy spokesman of the House of Representatives, also laughed off threats of his possible recall and ultimatum to apologize to the governor by those he described as political surrogates and charlatans.
Agbese made this known in a statement signed by his Legislative Aide on Constituency Media Affairs, Lawrence Oduh.

While admitting that he has nothing personal against Governor Alia, the federal lawmaker said he is on the side of justice, equity, and the rule of law.

Admitting that he may have been misunderstood, Agbese said in practical democracies, government officials like himself, are held accountable for their actions, especially when they go against the laws of the land.
He, however, said those masquerading as party stakeholders, political analysts, and civil society groups making threats towards him and his esteemed office are nothing but political jobbers and hucksters.
Instead of advising the governor to do the right thing, Agbese said they have taken their usual greedy path to create chaos and in return feed their bellies with peanuts that won’t sustain them beyond the Yuletide.

The Enone Servant further said he is not moved by their senseless calls, adding that he will continue to engage Governor Alia and other leaders across the country to deliver on the dividends of democracy.

Agbese, therefore, said he would not hesitate to drag the governor again should there be further neglect of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

For all their threats of recall, Agbese dared the sycophants who use ad hominem attacks to initiate the process and see between him and Governor Alia who would go down first.

The deputy spokesman, however, said his true constituents and supporters are totally in support of him and it is just a matter of time before they will reap the dividends.

“The attention of the office of the honorable member representing Ado/ Okpokwu/ Ogbadibo Federal Constituency has been drawn to the threats and ultimatum by some political surrogates and charlatans. Chief Philip Agbese’s first reaction to this misadventure was a deep laugh,” Oduh said.

“Agbese is a fearless man who believes in the principle of justice, equity, and fairness. He is also guided by the rule of law and no section of the Constitution said he was wrong to take down the portrait of the governor. In the first place, it is his office.

“Instead of the political jobbers to address the main issues raised by Agbese, they have taken their usual path to issue baseless threats to the federal lawmaker who was overwhelmingly voted by his people. Game on!

“Agbese enjoys the support of his constituents and he is well on track to deliver the dividends of democracy. For the records, the Enone Servant has sponsored the most bills for a first-timer and has lined up some interventions that will be implemented in the coming days.

“Agbese will continue to engage the governor and other leaders across the country. As a lawyer, social crusader, and human rights activist, he will be the first to drag them when they go off the rails. He is not worried about some disgruntled elements looking for their daily bread. Bread is expensive these days, you know.

“He has dared them to begin the process of his recall. Need not remind them that more governors have been impeached than federal or state lawmakers being recalled since 1999. Let’s see who will go down first”.
