Rivers: Pro-Wike Lawmakers reject meeting with Fubara

The proposed peace meeting convened by the Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminialayi Fubara with the pro-Wike lawmakers collapsed on Monday.

This is owing to the refusal of the lawmakers to honour the governor’s invitation.

Blueprint recalls that the governor had, in a letter signed by the secretary to the state government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo, invited the speaker of the state house of assembly, Hon. Martins Amaaewhule, and the other 26 lawmakers for a peace meeting in Government House on Monday.

Danagogo, in the letter dated 7th March, said the invitation came after the governor received Certificate True Copy (CTC) of the Supreme Court judgement on the political crisis in the state.

At the top of the agenda of the meeting were the presentation of the 2025 budget to the assembly, payment of allowances of the lawmakers, allocation of a sitting venue for the assembly and others.

However, it was gathered that the meeting that was to hold 10am at Government House, Port Harcourt, could not hold because the lawmakers failed to turn up.
