G-60 Reps Members Blast Amaewhule Led 27 Lawmakers Over Impeachment Notice Threat

A group of 60 (G-60) members of the federal House of Representatives has taken a swipe at the Rt Hon. Martin Amaewhule led faction of 27 lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The group, on Wednesday insisted that those former lawmakers lacked the powers to serve Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State any impeachment notice.

This was because, the G-60 stated that those 26 lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly had their seats declared vacant in December 2023.

It followed their defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Spokesperson of the group, Ikenga Ugochinyere, who is also the member representing Ideato South/North Federal Constituency,  said: “The call for the impeachment of the governor is a call to anarchy that will lead to the collapse of democracy if the President doesn’t call them to order.

“Unless there is a supreme order of the court, these 27 lawmakers have lost their seats. We cannot allow this absurdity because the APC Minister is working with the president and you now want to overthrow a legitimate Governor.

“The President needs to intervene because it is issues like these that led to the collapse of democracy in the 70s and 80s. If they are popular, they should contest fresh elections,” he said.

“These clowns as far as we are concerned, are still moving about freely parading themselves because of Governor Fubara’s mercy and largely in obedience to the peace accord brokered by President Bola Tinubu to end the political crisis in Rivers tate.

“However, while the Governor has stuck to the accord, his predecessor and Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike has not, with what his loyalists are doing.

“One of such evidence is the purported veto of Rivers procurement law which is an unenforceable legislative madness by impostors who are scared of the impact of Fubara’s infrastructure revolution.

“If not, how can people worth calling lawmakers even think that mobilisation fee of not more than 20 per cent of any contract sum is enough for suppliers or contractors to move to the site or provide goods and services in the present economic quagmire masterminded by their allies in the federal government?

“It is also on notice that these persons who sit in some hotel rooms in Abuja or anywhere their paymasters take them to, make such pronouncements, have lost the status of lawmakers ever since they dumped the party, the PDP which was a vehicle that brought them to power and joined APC.”
