The Rivers State House of Assembly has endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule where he noted that the Assembly would abide by the president’s decision, even though it was not what they had hoped for.
The Speaker blamed Governor Siminalayi Fubara for the crisis in Rivers State, accusing him of ignoring court judgments and failing to govern in line with the constitution.
Meanwhile, Amaewhule called on residents to remain calm and cooperate with the Sole Administrator appointed by the president to oversee the affairs of the state as he then applauded the people of the state for their patience, prayers and support during this period of emergency.
