In a significant political development, twenty-seven members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule and aligned with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, have made a noteworthy decision.



The group, previously affiliated with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The catalyst for this political realignment was the perceived division within the PDP, prompting these lawmakers to take the decisive step of joining the APC. Notably, these legislators were at the forefront of initiating impeachment proceedings against Governor Sim Fubara.

During a recent session, the Rivers State lawmakers unanimously passed a resolution condemning the withholding of funds designated for the management of the House of Assembly. This move underscores the legislators' commitment to addressing key issues affecting the effective functioning of the Assembly.

In addition to addressing matters of party allegiance and internal disputes, the members of the Rivers State House of Assembly actively engaged in crucial legislative activities during their Monday sitting. One noteworthy development was the unanimous passage for the Second Reading of the Local Government (Amendment) Bill 2023, reflecting their dedication to advancing legislative initiatives that impact local governance.

This political realignment and the subsequent legislative actions highlight the dynamic nature of politics in Rivers State. As these lawmakers transition to the APC, the implications for the political landscape and the future direction of governance in the state remain subjects of keen observation. The decisions made and resolutions passed during this session will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of political developments in Rivers State in the days to come.
