The African Patriots Forum (APF) has hailed lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaehwule, for what it described as their commitment to democracy and the rule of law.

The group commended the legislators for seeking legal redress instead of resorting to violence in their dispute with Governor Siminalayi Fubara following a Supreme Court ruling that affirmed their legitimacy.

In a statement signed by its Global President, Dr Lanre Solomon, the APF described the verdict as “a significant milestone in their struggle to assert their authority and promote good governance in Rivers State”.

“The lawmakers, led by Amaehwule, have demonstrated unwavering commitment to upholding the principles of democracy, justice, truth, and the people’s interests,” the statement reads.

“Their bravery in standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity, shows their strong convictions and dedication to the well-being of their constituents.

“By consistently choosing to side with democracy and justice, they have inspired hope and confidence in the people, showing their voices are heard and valued.”

The forum also accused Governor Fubara of disregarding the rule of law and urged him to respect the Supreme Court’s ruling.

“The Governor must quit playing games and respect the court orders. The Supreme Court’s verdicts are clear and unequivocal, and it is imperative that he desists from any further actions deemed contemptuous,” the group stated.

“The people of Rivers State have suffered enough from the Governor’s antics, and it is time for him to put the interests of the state and its people above his agenda.”

The APF further warned that continued defiance of the ruling could lead to “chaos and anarchy” in the state.

It also called on stakeholders in Rivers State to support the lawmakers in what it described as a crucial fight for democracy.

“The lawmakers’ actions are a powerful reminder that democracy is not just about winning elections, but also about upholding the principles of justice, equality, and fairness,” the statement concluded.
