State Of Emergency: ‘Best Decision’ – Amaewhule-led 27 Lawmakers React As Tinubu Suspends Them, Gov Fubara

Members of the suspended Rivers State House of Assembly, the faction led by Martin Amaewhule, have sent out a message to their constituents following the suspension of all elected officials of the state by President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday.

The declaration of a state of emergency by Tinubu means that the lawmakers would stay away from their legislative duties for the period of six months as declared by the President.

In a statement signed by Martin Amaewhule, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, on behalf of members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the lawmakers informed their constituents of the present situation while backing the President’s action.

The 27 lawmakers led by Amaewhule blamed the state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, for the condition of Rivers State today, accusing him of continually disobeying judgments and orders of the courts, failing to govern the state in line with his oath of office and the Constitution.

“The governor’s despotic and tyrannical actions, as confirmed by the courts, in which he also unconstitutionally obstructed the Rivers State House of Assembly—an arm of government—from functioning, underlie this situation,” the statement said.

“As an Assembly, we assure you all, our constituents, that we will abide by this declaration even though it is not what we prayed for.

“Mr President has acted in the best interest of the country; therefore, we call on you all to remain calm as the Sole Administrator appointed by the President assumes his duty in the best interest of our State and Nation.
