Port Harcourt, Rivers state – The Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers state house of assembly has been criticized for calling for the arrest of the chairmen and members of the 23 LG Caretaker Committees in the state.
A pro-democracy group, the Peopleâs Congress, said the Amaewhule-led assembly loyal to the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike is simply calling for anarchy in the state.
The group President, Dr. Nicholas Udenta, said these in a statement issued and made available to TimesNow.com.ng on Wednesday, July 24.
Udenta said the pro-wike lawyers committed political suicides when they defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He urged the lawyers to stop playing politics with the development of Rivers state by plotting against Governor Sim Fubaraâs government
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the crisis rocking the Rivers state assembly worsened following the move by pro-Wike lawmakers targeted against Governor Fubara.
The Amaewhule-led Rivers Assembly had moved to stop Fubara from spending the state’s funds.
However, a court rejected the suit sponsored by Wike lawmakers and refused to halt all expenditures by Governor Fubara.
