We Believe That Fubara Will Repent From His Legion Of Sins, Says Speaker Amaewhule

Basking in the euphoria of the Judgement of the Supreme Court on the protracted political crisis in the State, the Rivers State House of Assembly on Friday, at its 129th Legislative Sitting of the Second Session, applauded the Justices of the Supreme Court for their well-considered judgement, which affirmed Rt. Hon Martin Chike Amaewhule as the Speaker, and other members of the Assembly as the properly constituted Rivers State House of Assembly.

Riding on the back of the Statement by the House Leader, Hon. Major Jack, informed the House of the Judgement of the Supreme Court of Nigeria which affirmed their legitimacy and ordered the House to resume Sitting immediately.

He stated that the Supreme Court also ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Accountant-General of the Federation to stop forthwith the release of Funds to the Rivers State Government from the Federation Account until an Appropriation Bill is presented to the Properly constituted House; adding that the purported Local Government Elections conducted in the State in October, 2024 also fell under the hammer of the Supreme Court, as the elections have been nullified.

Commenting on the development, the Speaker, Rt. Hon Martin Amaewhule described the judgement as a victory for democracy and the rule of law, maintaining that the Supreme Court had proved him and other Members right when the House asserted that Governor Siminialayi Fubara was running a criminal government with persons not screened by the House, and without an Appropriation Law

“We believe that now that the Supreme Court has spoken, Governor Siminialayi Fubara would repent from his legion of sins, and those criminals, those impostors who are parading themselves as appointees of this government without the constitutional imprimatur of this House would desist forthwith”, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule enthused.

The Speaker thanked the Justices of the Supreme, Court, the political leader of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, Members of the Assembly and all those who contributed to fighting for the entrenchment of democratic principles and ethos in the State.
