I will Reclaim River State From Governor Sim Fubara — Martin Amaewhule.

Martin Amaewhule, the factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, has vowed to reclaim the state from Governor Sim Fubara.

He, hinted that there are plots to attack the Assembly Quarters on Monday(Today), insisting that no matter the attack, the lawmakers will be resolute.

Noting that the lawmakers will remain resolute because they have the mandate of Rivers people to be in the House, he insisted that their defection from the People Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC) was due to the crisis in PDP, just as they vowed to continue sitting despite pundits’ view to the contrary.

Amaewhule disclosed this, yesterday, while addressing state delegates at the APC dedication service and stakeholders meeting held at the Port Harcourt Polo Club, stating further that they abandoned PDP for APC also because of the leadership style of President Bola Tinubu. He claimed that the defected members followed due process and acted on section 109 subsection 1 of the 1999 Constitution.
