Rivers Crisis: Lawmakers Asked To Vacate Official Quarters As Ijaw Youths Plan Protest Against Wike
Federal lawmakers from Rivers State have rallied behind Governor Siminialaye Fubara, pledging their support amid the governor’s feud with the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
The federal lawmakers also called on the 25 Rivers House of Assembly members who defected from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to vacate their official quarters immediately.
The state lawmakers, they said, betrayed their constituents by abandoning their seats without consent.
Leading the charge, Mr. Dagomie Abiante, representing Andoni/ Opobo–Nkoro federal constituency in Rivers, said the defected lawmakers may choose to be slaves if they want.
