Rivers Assembly Shelves Sitting Amid Rumoured Plot to Remove Speaker Amaewhule
The drama in Rivers politics just entered a new episode. The State Assembly has abruptly shelved its planned sitting after reports surfaced that some lawmakers were plotting to remove Speaker Martin Amaewhule.
It appears that those who were busy threatening impeachment yesterday are suddenly tasting a bit of their own medicine today. When you play politics of fear and loyalty tests, there’s always a day your own camp begins to whisper.
The Speaker who once bragged about “having the numbers” is now watching those same numbers scatter like students in an exam hall. Many lawmakers are reportedly tired of being used as attack dogs in a war that has no clear reward except embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Governor Fubara looks unbothered, almost enjoying the movie as camps clash, alliances shift, and Wike’s political students begin to question the scripts they were given.
Rivers politics is no longer chess. It has become Nollywood with extra budget.
One thing is clear: when the heat begins to return home, even the loudest political generals start asking themselves if the battle is still worth fighting.
