The Rivers State Governor Siminialayi Fubara, has invited the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, and other lawmakers to a meeting at the Government House, Port Harcourt, on Monday.
The move was seen as a strategic move to find a truce to the lingering crisis that is threatening to tear the state apart.
The invitation was issued by the Secretary to the State Government, the first time the Fubara administration would acknowledge Amaewhule as the Speaker of the Assembly.
Dated March 7, the invitation, signed by Chief Tammy Wenike Dangogo, Secretary to the Rivers State Government, referenced the governor’s March 5 letter, in which he acknowledged receipt of the Supreme Court’s judgment.
The lawmakers are to meet with the governor by 10.00am on Monday to find lasting truce to the gray areas and move the state forward, the latter intoned.
The governor has therefore “graciously directed to invite you and your colleagues, the Honourable members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, to a meeting” the invitation obtained by Sunrise News stated.
The Agenda for the meeting includes discussions on provision of a suitable space for the Assembly’s sitting, settling all outstanding remuneration and allowances, presenting the budget, and addressing other matters vital to the state’s progress.
