Hon. Martin Amaewhule, upon defection to the APC, are still laying claim to their vacant seats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllowing the issue at stake to chase shadows is repulsive, as there was no time Femi Falana, SAN, misinterpreted court judgments\u2014he merely spoke the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor these political chameleons to eat their vomit, swallow their pride, and lie from the pit of hell that defection never took place in Rivers State is highly unfortunate and morally debasing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want Nigerians and the world to know that the withdrawal of the counter-affidavit by the Rivers State Governor in a suit by Amaewhule was based on the truce brokered by President Bola Tinubu. The question is: when did it become a sin for a governor to obey a President?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, the governor withdrew his counter-affidavit because President Tinubu requested that all warring parties should sheathe their swords and come to the table for a truce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, those who feel Nigeria is their fathers\u2019 estate\u2014those dictators in the making, those who don\u2019t respect their elders and Mr. President\u2014blatantly refused to withdraw their court processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf President Tinubu allows Fubara to be humiliated for respecting him as an elder and President of Nigeria, then posterity will never be fair to President Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
