A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has expressed surprise at the celebration by Amaewhule's group following the Court of Appeal's ruling, which upheld their removal as lawmakers.
According to Eze, the court did not address the central issue of the group's defection from the PDP to the APC, which led to their removal. "The Court of Appeal didn't entertain the major subject matter of Amaewhule and his group defecting from PDP to APC, which caused them to cease as lawmakers. So, what are they celebrating?" he asked.
According to The Sun report, Eze urged law-abiding citizens of Rivers State to remain peaceful and not give in to the alleged attempts by the former lawmakers to incite unrest and potentially lead to a state of emergency in the state.
"I will only counsel the law-abiding citizens of Rivers State to be calm and not give in to the plot of these ex-lawmakers to ignite anarchy in the State to achieve their sinister aim of declaration of State of emergency in the State," he said.
