Rivers Governor, Fubara Denied Entry Into Assembly Quarters Amid Political Turmoil

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, faced a major setback in his efforts to implement the Supreme Court judgment as he was denied entry into the Assembly quarters.

A video circulating online showed the governor arriving at the quarters, only to be met with a shut gate and no security personnel in sight.

Fubara, as proof of his presence, addressed the media at the entrance, explaining that he had made prior attempts to contact Speaker Amaewhule and other lawmakers, even writing a formal letter to inform them of his visit.

He regretted that despite these efforts, he was still barred from entering the premises.

He said; “I am here myself with Members of the State Executive to comply with the Supreme Court judgment.

“Before my arrival, I had already made several attempts. Made phone calls to reach the Speaker and other members and I also did a letter personally transmitted to the Honourable Speaker for this particular visitation, but it is unfortunate that at the gate I can see that the place is completely sealed and there is no sign that anything is going to happen today.

“The reason why we are doing this, I have always said it, it is for the interest of our people, which is the most important thing.

“Well, I do not think there is anything to worry about, maybe they are working on the letter, I expect to hear from them maybe after this hour.”

This development marks a new dimension in the ongoing crisis in Rivers State politics.
