Rivers: Amaewhule, 27 lawmakers remain sacked, should stop their impersonation-----Ugochinyere



Nigeria's Opposition lawmakers coalition has said that political survival, desperation, greed for public funds are motivation for the pro-Wike, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory's group political nuisance in Rivers State.

The federal legislators in a statement by its spokesperson, Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere declared that the former speaker, Martin Amaewhule and his sacked 27 lawmakers remained sacked.

Ugochinyere urged them to stop impersonating as members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

According to the Opposition Lawmakers, the sacked former members of the Rivers State House of Assembly seats had become vacant when they dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the opposition, All Progressives Congress (APC).

The federal legislators maintained that after desecration of the Constitution by jumping ship when PDP had no crisis to warrant the Rivers lawmakers decamping to the crisis ridden APC, courts of competent jurisdiction, including the Apex court have ratified their removal from Rivers State House of Assembly.

They said, "The level of desperation for political survival, greed for public funds have been the pulling force for the pro-Wike (FCT Minister) group in constituting itself into a political nuisance in Rivers State.

"While it is obvious that their pay master can no longer sustain their financial and political gluttony, the Martin Amaewhule and his sacked 27 lawmakers should be sane enough to remember that remained sacked and should stop impersonating as a members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

"Also, they and their paymaster(s) should stop wasting public funds money on endless paid press conferences to deny the defection of the sacked 27 lawmakers and misinterpretation of the Supreme Court’s ruling, which never ruled on sacked lawmakers’ legitimacy after they illegally left PDP and joined APC.

"It's common knowledge that they decamped on their own on the floor of the House of Assembly, they swore an affidavit in court to back their decampment, they were received by APC in a rally for defection and handed over the APC flag, and APC threw a dinner party for them to celebrate their decampment.

"Suddenly and surprisingly too, when they can’t get their evil desires and have seen they messed up and have lost their seats, they want to deny their daylight documented defection. This will not work, and no amount of press conferences can change the fact that sacked pro-Wike lawmakers remain sacked until the Supreme Court decides otherwise.

"The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Sim Governor Fubara which challenged the former leadership of the Rivers State House of Assembly led by on Martin Amaewhule and the Pro-Wike group are jubiliated out of ignorance of what informed the decision of the apex court.

"The Supreme Court judgement was sequel to the withdrawal of the appeal by Governor Fubara through his lead counsel, Yusuf Ali SAN. Governor Fubara in the notice for withdrawal of the case, informed a 3-man panel of Justices of the Court that events have overtaken his suit.

"If they didn't know such events as mentioned by His Excellency, Governor Fubara include inter-alia that the 2024 budget for instance had been fully executed and exhausted with 2025 Appropriation in effect, hence the case is statute-barred. Also, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Oko Jumbo is still in charge and control of the legislature in the South-south state as the pro-Wike sacked lawmakers and their gang leader, Amaewhule remained removed from office."
