Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has invited the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and other lawmakers to a meeting at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Monday. The invitation, conveyed through a letter dated March 7, was issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo.
The meeting comes after the Supreme Court’s ruling reinstating the Amaewhule-led faction of the Assembly, which is aligned with former Rivers State Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. In the letter, Fubara acknowledged the court’s judgment and extended the invitation to the lawmakers.
“And he has, therefore, directed to invite you and your colleagues, the Honourable members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, to a meeting,” the letter reads.
Discussions are expected to center on securing a suitable venue for Assembly sittings, addressing outstanding remuneration and allowances, and other legislative matters. The development marks a significant move toward resolving the ongoing political tensions in the state.
