Speaker Amaewhule attributed the crisis in Rivers State to Governor Fubara, accusing him of disregarding court rulings and failing to adhere to constitutional governance.

“The condition of our dear Rivers State today is mainly because of the malfeasance of the governor, who serially disobeyed court judgments and obstructed the Rivers State House of Assembly,” he stated.

Amaewhule urged residents to remain calm and cooperate with the Sole Administrator appointed by the President to manage the state’s affairs.

“We urge everyone to remain calm as the Sole Administrator assumes duty. Rest assured that the Assembly will give him all the necessary support to restore order,” he added.
