Rivers AG clarifies court judgment, says Amaewhule not declared Speaker

Rivers State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Dagogo Iboroma, has set the record straight on a recent court judgment, stating that the court did not declare Martin Amaewhule as the Speaker of the House of Assembly nor affirmed him and 26 others as members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Iboroma, who made the declaration in a statement in Port Harcourt on Wednesday morning, said: “The certified true copy of the court order in Suit No. DHC/20/CS/2024 has vindicated my earlier position that there was a misrepresentation of the judgment in the media,” Iboroma said.

“The court did not make a declaration that Martin Amaewhule is the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, neither did it make a declaration that Martin Amaewhule and 26 others are members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and the Peoples Democratic Party.”
