Supervisory Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike has said that Governor Amaechi and his supporters are too desperate in their attempt to reconvene sitting in the State House of Assembly, following a Federal High court order which deemed its takeover by the National Assembly as unconstitutional.
Wike also said that Evans Bipi, a member of the house, and cousin to Patience Jonathan is the rightful Speaker of the State House. It was Bipi’s shenanigans that led to the chaos that engulfed the house earlier this year.
Wike said, “We will go to the Rivers House of Assembly to sit, when Rivers Police Command is notified of the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja, with the Certified True Copy (CTC). Rt. Hon. Evans Bipi will preside.
“The 25 pro-Amaechi lawmakers are deceiving themselves. They remain suspended. On the day of the sitting, we will inform the whole world that the lawmakers are more than six. Rt. Hon. Evans Bipi will announce the proper reconvening of the House and the lawmakers will sit without fear.
“Why is Amaechi and his supporters desperate to sit? Imagine the desperation of sitting on the road. Rt. Hon. Bipi and the other lawmakers will not go to that ridiculous extent, because they are loved by Rivers people and remain gentlemen.”
