People Democratic Party, PDP, caucus in the House of Representatives has warned that the protracted crisis in Rivers State House of Assembly preluding a call for the impeachment of Governor Siminalaya Fubara is an invitation to anarchy.
Operating under the aegis of G60, the opposition lawmakers led by Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, in a statement in Abuja, on Thursday, described the move as ‘laughable, ridiculous and nonsensical.’
He said the 27 lawmakers who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, a platform they were elected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, have been sacked and ceased to exist, particularly as their seats have been declared vacant in consonance with the law.
The opposition lawmakers in the lower legislative Chamber expressed dismay, saying the Rivers Assembly members were hell-bent on attempting to stoke a crisis by pursuing a selfish agenda rather than committing to the advancement of the State.
They urged the governor of Rivers State to commence prosecution against the sacked lawmakers using the Magistrate Court by arraigning them for impersonation to restore sanity.
