Port Harcourt, Rivers state – The All Progressives Congress Reform Group (APCRG) has hailed a court ruling that upheld the removal of 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, including Martins Amaewhule, as a victory for democracy and the rule of law.
The Appeal Court’s decision not to reverse the removal of the former lawmakers was a significant win for democracy and the rule of law.
In a statement on Saturday, June 15, APCRG National President Comrade Moses Eguono said the party is now prepared to field new candidates in the purportedly vacant seats.
However, the group said it would not consider the sacked members, describing them as “political jobbers without a party,” and instead would choose candidates who share its vision for a better Rivers state and a greater Nigeria.
The APC group also urged its supporters to remain steadfast and committed to the party’s ideals.
