Tinubu Made Defection Of 27 Rivers Lawmakers To APC Possible - Factional Speaker

A factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, has explained that the 27 lawmakers that defected to the All Progressives Progress from the Peoples Democratic Party did so because  President Bola Tinubu had fulfilled the promise made to the state PDP leaders when they met with him in Abuja.

This is as he rejected the 2024 Appropriation Bill signed into law by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
 
Amaewhule spoke during the APC, Rivers State dedication service, and stakeholders meeting in Port Harcourt on Sunday.

He said “You know some time ago, leaders of the PDP from the state visited Mr President in Abuja. We begged Mr President. The former President could not attend to the problems of the state.

“So our leaders begged Mr. President, we have a problem, look at the East-West Road leading to Ogoni land.

“This is a President that is not in our party. Unlike the previous President, he (Tinubu) gave us his words and said “Go back home irrespective of your party, I am a detribalisedd Nigerian.’

“The President told us he will do the East-West Road.Today  work is ongoing and in no distance time, that project will be completed.

“Access to the refinery and all the companies along the stretch of the road will be complete. This is the President that says a thing and he does it.”
