A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, has affirmed that Martin Amaewhule and the 26 other of the Rivers State House of Assembly, are still of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Delivering judgement in Port Harcourt earlier on Monday, Justice Okogbule Gbasam of the Rivers State High Court, held that the claimants failed to prove that Amaewhule and 26 other lawmakers, had defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Justice Gbasam further held that hip of a party is only proven by being listed on the party’s , or by hip card, adding that television ceremonies and or verbal statements, were not enough to show the same.

Interestingly, the PDP had filed a motion to be ed in the case, and was added as the fourth defendant.

Justice Gbasam further held that the Rivers state government is bound to obey all laws ed by the Assembly, as they are still of the PDP hence, their names are still in the PDP’s hip as provided by the party.

He further posited that the state government is bound by the laws made by the Assembly, as they are still of the PDP, and as such, haven’t lost their seats.

Bros you see some of us here aren't actually against Fubara but we don't side him because we know he can't win this. It is unfortunate for him.

Las Las Wike go still lose! Mark my words.. Rivers is bigger than one man.
This was how yorubas defended amaechi because he contributed to Buhari s emergence. How did that end? 😂

Below is the extract from their defection affidavit.. the 27 lawmakers are goners! There is actually a signed affidavit with reasons for defection issible in court prepared in their hastiness. This affidavit is before the federal High Court.. grin


Update: the so called copies of the judgement are attached..

Wike wants to impeach Fubara by all means, reason for his recent dramatic romance with Tinubu.

sad

Another political assault looming which will either drown Wike or pronounce him as the 'Jagaban' of Rivers Politics and probably the Field Marshal covering the entire south south, in extension, Abuja. tongue

This is what I thought too.

They can even say they are just doing comedy for the video they did.

Wike is well known for procurement of justice but this time around, he will fail woefully.
Fubara should immediately appeal the judgement up to the supreme court. By the time the case will be over, his tenor would have come to an end. It's not a must to be governor for two tenures.

So in judiciary people will not be held able for their words. So if one said that he is going to bomb a place and the next minutes that place is bombed, so since the person was not found with the bomb or saw detonating the bomb he won't be help responsible. Our words are our oath. It's just a crap country we are. No justice.

Law.

But in reality, there seems to be no official document recognized by law indicating that they have left the party.

The judge is there educating you for free, but you are talking trash.
You should be grateful for him doing what your own parents couldn't do.

This can be set aside by an appeal court if pdp or Gov. Fubara gets its facts right.
