New twist in Rivers crisis: Amaewhule-led lawmakers illegal, says Fubara

There is no let-up in the political crisis rocking Rivers State and in the frosty relationship between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the State House of Assembly.Fubara said: “Let me say it here… those group of men who claim to be Assembly members are not existing. I want it to be on record that I accepted that peace accord to give them a floating . That’s the truth. There is nothing in that peace accord that is a constitutional issue. It is a political solution to a problem.

The governor said he had acted like the big brother in the crisis, not interested in destroying the ‘house’, to allow meaningful development to continue in the state. The governor said he strongly felt that it was proper to set some records straight about what had become of a minor problem that was not uncommon in every human relationship.

“And because our intention for Rivers State is to build on the foundation that had been laid by our past leaders, it will be wrong for me to take the path of promoting crisis. That is why we are still recording the development that you are hearing around Rivers State.” “So, for that reason, when we act, we act as humans; human vessels that God has used, and not seeing yourself as God.

“I have never gone anywhere to ask anybody to do anything against anybody. But what happens to the people that are supporting me? Fubara commended the delegation for coming to solidarise with him and his government and noted that there was no complete Rivers without Bayelsa, which demanded that they continued to work together for development.

Fubara said he took the initiative of going to see Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State because he wanted an end to the toxic relationship that existed in the past administrations. Fubara also regretted that Rivers State was experiencing such protracted political crisis because there were no leaders of conscience who could stand up boldly and mediate on issues without bias.
