Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Friday, said there is no cause to worry over the decision of the Appeal Court on the crisis in the State House of Assembly.

The governor who spoke during an inspection of the reconstruction of the Zonal Hospital project in Bori Town, the headquarters of the Khana Local Government Area of the state, said he is not deterred by the appellate court’s decision on the assembly crisis.

“I want to assure every one of you and the good people of Rivers State, that we are not deterred. We have made our promises, we will continue to give you good governance, no matter how difficult it is,” he said.

On Thursday, the Court of Appeal in Abuja dismissed the order of a Rivers High Court which restrained Martin Amaewhule and 24 others from parading themselves as lawmakers of the State Assembly.

A three-member panel of the appellate court led by Jimi Olukayode-Bada, held that the trial court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the suit, as such matters can only be heard and determined before a Federal High Court.

But Fubara said the worst is over, saying he has moved on to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Rivers State.
