This move comes after the Supreme Court’s ruling that reinstated the Amaewhule-led faction of the Assembly, a group aligned with Nyesom Wike, the former Rivers State Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. In the letter, Fubara acknowledged the court’s decision and formally invited the lawmakers to the meeting.

The letter reads, “And he has, therefore, directed to invite you and your colleagues, the Honourable members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, to a meeting.”
