Lawmakers representing Rivers State in the House of Representatives on Monday paid a solidarity visit to the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Victor Oko-Jumbo, reaffirming their unwavering support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration.
The visit comes amid tensions following a press conference by some National Assembly members backing former Speaker Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule and his faction, referred to as the “Committee of Former Lawmakers.”
Leading the delegation, Hon. Awaji-Inombek Abiante (Andoni-Opobo/Nkoro Federal Constituency) dismissed claims that a Federal High Court judgment reinstated Amaewhule and his 26 colleagues.
