A High Court of Rivers State presided over by Justice C.N. Wali has barred the governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, from giving effect to any resolution by state lawmakers who defected to the opposition party.

In its ruling dated May 30, 2024, the court also barred the state Chief Judge, Attorney General, and Commissioner of Justice from acting on their resolutions.

LEADERSHIP Friday recalls that 25 Rivers State House of Assembly members, led by Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, had defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the political feud between their mentor and FCT minister Nyesom Wike and his estranged political godson Fubara.

Shortly after their defection, the court restrained them from their seats, which were declared vacant, and an order was also made stopping them from parading themselves as lawmakers.

Parts of the order read, “An Order of Interlocutory Injunction is granted restraining the 1st to 25th Defendants from parading and holding out themselves as members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and/or meeting/ sitting at the Auditorium of the House of Assembly Quarters located at Off Aba Road, Port Harcourt or at any other place whatsoever to purport to carry out the legislative business of the Rivers State House of Assembly, their legislative seats having been declared vacant pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
