The faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule has condemned the demolition of the assembly complex by the state government, characterizing it as an assault on the history of the state’s legislative arm.

The ongoing political crisis in Rivers State escalated on Wednesday with the demolition of the House of Assembly Complex, orchestrated by the state government.

“It is sad but we are not worried, we are unbothered but what has happened is a rape on the history, history has just been murdered but it is fine, we will not be deterred,” Alabo said.

He mentioned that the demolition resulted in the destruction of all the documents and archives of the Assembly since its inception, effectively “erasing” the history of the state’s legislature.

Alabo said, “We woke up this morning and we were told that the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex which has housed the activities of the House of Assembly for many years is being brought down alongside all our documents, alongside all our archives, alongside, alongside all our belongings, alongside the entire records of the Rivers State House of Assembly to date, everything is being brought down.

“No notice, no warning, people on ground were kicked away, there was no opportunity to rescue anything. The history of the house of assembly from inception has just been brought down, that is what we are talking about now.

“Our archives, our legislative department, our legal department, our library, all our records, the entire history of the house of assembly has just been brought down in one fell swoop, that is the sorry state we have found ourselves.”

On Tuesday, a State High Court in Port Harcourt issued a restraining order against the Amaewhule-led group, pending the hearing of a suit before it.

Alabo criticized the court order, contending that it indirectly supported the demolition of the assembly complex. When asked about the next steps for the 27 members led by Amaewhule, Alabo stated that they would convene to determine their course of action. He also confirmed that they have filed a petition with the National Judicial Council (NJC) against Justice Monina Danagogo, who issued the ex parte order against them.

“In the coming days, we will be meeting, everybody is in shock, everybody is overwhelmed so we haven’t taken a decision yet. What I know is that we are dispatching our petition to the NJC about the fraudulent court order issued by justice Danagogo,” he said.
