Rivers Assembly Crises: Amaewhule Writes INEC To Fill Vacant Seats by Upritman(op): 8:38am On Oct 16, 2024
The Rivers State House of Assembly led by the embattled Speaker, Martin Amaewhule has written a letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to fill the seats of four lawmakers loyal to Governor Sim Fubara that He had declared vacant.

Didactic Information Hut recalls that Amaewhule and his colleagues who are loyal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, had during their session on Tuesday declared the seats of four lawmakers loyal to Gov Fubara vacant.

Amaewhule had during the session also threatened to write to INEC to conduct fresh elections to fill the vacant seats.

In an earlier similar development, Rt Hon Edison Ehie, the then Speaker loyal to Gov Fubara had declared the seats of Amaewhule and Colleagues vacant for defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

But Amaewhule in a twist of plans had denied their defection to the APC and now claim to be members of the PDP just to retain their seats.

In the letter dated 15th October, 2024, Amaewhule urged INEC to conduct fresh elections to fill the vacant seats within 90 days.

Meanwhile, the Rt Hon Victor Oko-Jumbo faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly has called on Nigerians to disregard the so-called declaration of legitimate lawmakers' seats vacant by Martin Amaewhule.

Oko-Jumbo in a press statement personally signed by Him recalled that following the defection of Martin Amaewhule and 24 others on 11th December, 2023, the then Speaker, Edison Ehie had declared their seats vacant on 13th December, 2023.

He reiterated the earlier call on INEC to conduct elections to fill the vacant seats of Amaewhule and his loyalists.

Didactic Information Hut reports that the political crises between Gov Fubara and his godfather, Nyesom Wike had thrown the oil-rich state into lingering political turbulence.

Whenever this oluku start to behave like this, their oga has bought one judgement to keep them floating.
Rivers State is a litmus test for this new CJN to prove is if she's a robot or not. If left for me, the Judiciary should keep dribbling all of them till 2027. Fubara should work with the one he wants while Wike work with the one he wants as far as it does not affect the developments strides by Fubara. How can a man boldly be angry to the glare of everyone cos his share was denied. He literally want to own Rivers State and sell it to whoever that will be loyal to his demands

As it should be. This is the authentic speaker of the house. Those rascals following Fubara around are not ready to be lawmakers.

Everyday another Drama. And the people who suffer the most from their grandstanding are busy hailing and praising the 2 vagabonds in power. Nobody is interested in governance and service to society.
What a Zoo

Where are all these nonsense related to the poor Masseshuh?

Is very obvious that these Politicians are not only selfish but greedy and ruthless to the plights of the innocent masses ....

Wike who single handedly manipulated the Presidential election in River State for the first time to favour APC in a PDP state is now the Minister of FCT....

The then Governor that EFCC was chasing all about for money laundering is now the Senate President....

So many nonsense in this T-pain regime , the arrogance and show of power is just demeaning the sincere progress of this Nation from this wicked Administration....

If Fubara loses the two cases bordering on defection of the assembly members at the supreme court, which is looking very likely cos he's lost at the lower court and court of appeal, he can kiss his governorship seat goodbye.

Fubara is not the type of leader south south state needs.

I hate politicians who betray their predecessors who performed well. They never work and they will definitely betray the ordinary people who supported them.

Obaseki is a classic example.
Have you asked what the Predecessor was asking from him that in one way may cause more hardship on the masses he is protectinghuh?

Leave Obaseke, a Governor that won't work won't work, is not all about betrayal...

Chris Ngige betrayed those that put him in Governor as Governor of Anambra State then, but today, he is the best Governor that has worked with the masses under serious threats and within a short time in office....

A Governor that has the spirit of God and feels for the masses will always deliver....

You don't cause wars and division when your boy betrayed you, you leave him to his fate and move on ...

They are just playing to the gallery. Even it's clear to the blind that these people are comedians. You can't fight the executive governor and win the case. Wike the drug addict should just give in and let go. He has eaten enough and it's time for him to leave except he want to be thoroughly ridiculed.

I hear you, but I hope you wouldn't accuse the governor of being ungrateful because it seems they are digging their own downfall

We will know when the case of their defection gets to court. I would have prefer they remain calm, do a back door discussion for their salaries. I don't see them winning this battle.
