Rivers: Group blasts pro-Wike lawmakers for calling for arrest of CTC chairmen, members

***accuses them of trying to destabilise the state***

A pro-democracy group, the People’s Congress, has slammed the factional Rivers State House of Assembly, loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for calling on the Nigeria Police Force to arrest the chairmen and members of the 23 LG Caretaker Committees in the state.

In a statement issued today, Dr. Nicholas Udenta, President of the group, said the Martin Amaewhule and his co-travellers are simply calling for anarchy in the state and their call should be disregarded by the law enforcement agencies.

"It's obvious that Martin Amaewhule and his co-travellers are still brooding the lost of their membership of the the Rivers State Assembly following their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress. They have themselves to blame; they were aware of the position of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on defection of lawmakers before choosing to commit political suicides," the statement said.

"Their continous vendetta and plots against the government and people of Rivers State are getting out of hand and they need to stop playing politics with the development of the state.

"The latest show of shame by these imposters, pretending to be lawmakers was their unlawful call for the Police to arrest the duly-constituted Caretaker Committee Chairmen and members in Rivers State. The world knows that after the expiration of the tenure of the LGA Chairmen, the Governor Siminalayi Fubara's administration constituted Caretaker Committees to man the affairs of the local governments pending the next election as any responsible government would have done.

"But in their usual nature of witch-hunting any progress made by the Fubara's administration, the disgruntled former lawmakers are now shamelessly calling on the Nigeria Police to arrest the members of the duly-constituted Caretaker Committees.

"Their call is tantamount to calling for anarchy. We urge the good officers and men of the Nigeria Police and other law enforcement agencies to disregard the call of the saboteurs pretending to be lawmakers. They are out to destabilise Rivers State and should be completely ignored or better still, arrest for attempting to incite anarchy in the state."

27 comitee of friends members... 😂.. ignore the jokers! They are still nursing the wounds from their failed attempt to freeze the state account.. 😂

Wike has always been a man of the people, and it's no surprise that some lawmakers are feeling the heat. Those standing with him know the importance of progress and development for Rivers State. Let the naysayers keep shouting; the vision for a better Rivers won't be derailed!

Better Rivers state my foot! WIKE cannot win his ward in a free and fair election... take it to the bank!
You are idolising a man who looted funds for hospitals, schools and roads with reckless abandon. What does that say about your IQ?

Is Wike not part of why our country is in the doldrums today, by rigging votes for the clueless, inept Druglord in Aso rock

You idiots deserve the leaders you get.. walahi... 🤦🏾‍♂️

Wike is a man of the people, and it’s only natural for those benefiting from his leadership to stand by him. Those lawmakers should understand that loyalty to progress is key. Wike has shown that he’s ready to fight for Rivers, and that's what we need!

Wike to unseat Tinubu 2027
