The factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Martins Chike Amaewhule has said that the twenty seven lawmakers decided to defect from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP to the All Progressives Congress, APC because of the crisis rocking the state chapter of the PDP.

Amaewhule also said that they left their former party because President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing very well with the appointments of Rivers indigenes into various positions.

The lawmaker stated that the 4-man group led by Rt. Hon Edison Ehie cannot form a quorum and whatever they are doing in the name of the Assembly is null and void.

Speaking during a dedication service and stakeholders meeting of the APC in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital on Sunday Amaewhule said “we begged Mr President, the former president could not attend to the problems of the State, so we begged Mr President that we have a problem. Look at the east west road. The road leading to Ogoni, the president that is not in our party unlike the previous president the president gave us his words and said go back home irrespective of your party, I am a detribalized Nigerian, that’s what the president told us.

“The east west road work is on going and in no distance time that project will be completed. Access to the refinery , access to all the companies along the stretch of the road will be complete that is the president that says a thing and he does it. Do you know what the president is doing since he became president he has given appointments to Rivers people irrespective of parties. Mr President for the first time gave a strategic appointment for somebody that is not from his party. It’s not only the appointment of the FCT Minister, he has given appointments to many Rivers sons.

“All the people he appointed are not APC members. The president shows that he is detribalized. So in making a choice of which party to go to this is a president that means well for the people. Let me inform you we have done investigation and we know that in the coming weeks , early next week, a lot will be done and we believe that when we have Petroleum products refined in this part of the country, prices of petroleum products will drop”.

But you can talk about other states matter

I find it funny the way you've been opening different thread on rivers matter

Some of us come here to showcase our ignorant.
Wike and his loyalists are losers
Fubara is not fighting Wike
What is happening in Rivers state is the hand work of God who want to expose the atrocities committed in Rivers state.

If you're truly a supporter of Wike, you be praying for him because the fight will get to a stage where a lot of secrets will be open.

Fubara is not fighting Wike and at the same time all Wike atrocities will be opened. That's contradictory
