“Tinubu has acted in the best interest of Nigeria” – Rivers Assembly speaker reacts to suspension | READ DETAILS
The suspended speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, has backed president Tinubu’s sack of the governor, Siminalaye Fubara, his deputy and the Assembly members, describing it as being in the best interest of Nigeria.
Reacting in a statement issued on Tuesday, Amaewhule said the Assembly would abide by the president’s decision, even though it was not what they had wanted.
“We assure our constituents that we will abide by this declaration, even though it is not what we prayed for. Mr. President has acted in the best interest of the country,” Amaewhule said.
“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.
“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,” the statement read in part.
