The Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dagogo Iboroma, has insisted that the 27 members of the state Assembly loyal to ex-governor Nyesom Wike have lost their seats as members of the State House of Assembly.
Iboroma said that the lawmakers, led by the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, had last year defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and are no longer members of the PDP.
“The court did not make a declaration that Martin Amaewhule is the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, nor did it make a declaration that Martin Amaewhule and 26 others are members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and the Peoples Democratic Party. “If it were so, it would have been embodied in the court orders, which have been circulated to you all and displayed by me here for the purpose of clarity,” he said.
