In a significant development in the Rivers State political landscape, Attorney-General Dagogo Iboroma (SAN) has provided clarity on the recent court judgment in Suit No. DHC/20/CS/2024, debunking claims that Martins Amaewhule and 26 others were declared members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Iboroma’s clarification has put to rest speculations and misinformation that had been circulating in the media, and has significant implications for the political landscape in Rivers State. The Attorney-General’s statement reaffirms that Amaewhule and others defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in December 2023 and are not currently members of the PDP or the Rivers State House of Assembly.
This development is seen as a major blow to the PDP’s efforts to reclaim Amaewhule and others, and a significant victory for the APC in Rivers State. Political analysts see this clarification as a significant development in the ongoing political battles in Rivers State, and predict that it will have far-reaching implications for the state’s political landscape.”
