•Governor Siminialayi Fubara of Rivers
Initiative for Transparent Strategy and Good Leadership, ITSGL, has handed the governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminialayi Fubara, a 7 Day ultimatum to evict the 27 embattled State Lawmakers from the government quarters where they currently occupy.
President General of the ITSGL, Chizy Enyi Esq., gave the ultimatum in Port Harcourt, today, during a chart with media men in the state on the ongoing political crisis in the state, reports Vanguard.
Enyi alleged it is not good for the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike loyalists who had lost their seats upon decamping from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, which produced them to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He stated that Martin Amaewhule and others had lost their seats and should pack out of the assembly quarters, urging the governor to evict them within seven days.
He said: “Martin Amaewhule and others commenced an action against Rivers State Government, National Assembly, and orders between October and November 2023 and defected from PDP to APC on December 11, 2023, thereby losing their legitimacy as members of the Rivers State House of Assembly as provided by section 109 of the 1999 constitution as amended.
“The matter before Justice Omotosho was not on the legitimacy of Martin Amaewhule and others as members of Rivers State House of Assembly. Assuming it were, what would have been the business of the National Assembly to be a party to the suit.
“As members of the Initiative for Transparent Strategy and Good Leadership, we are not comfortable with the actions of the governor of Rivers State by allowing the former members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule to continue to occupy the properties of the State Assembly.
“Hence, we are giving the government and Governor of Rivers State, Sir Sim Fubara, one week ultimatum to immediately vacate all the illegal occupants of Assembly properties or face legal action.”
