Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara on Wednesday, mocked the 26 House of Assembly members who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said they can never return to the Assembly as their seats were vacant despite a court order for them to be reinstated.
Fubara who spoke during a solidarity visit by opinion leaders, women, and youths of Etche and Omuma Local Government Areas led by Ogbakor Etche at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital, urged the former lawmakers who are loyal to former governor Nyesom Wike, “to wake up from their slumber to see the ship of governance in the state sailing on smoothly.”
