National Assembly Writes IG of Police Over The Madness In Rivers

The alleged plot by the Presidency to impeach Governor Rotimi Amaechi with just six lawmakers led by one of Patience Jonathan's boys, Evans Bippi, has attracted the attention of the National Assembly. As you read this, the National Assembly has filed a case in the Court of Appeal to take over the House of Assembly.

The national legislature wants the Court of Appeal to reverse Wednesday’s judgement of a Federal High Court, Abuja, which declared the initial take-over unconstitutional. This is said to be a "calculated" move.

Accordingly, it has written a letter to the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, to stop all acts by anti-Amaechi lawmakers from gaining access to the Assembly to take any action against the governor.

The National Assembly letter was signed by its counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN), against the backdrop of alleged plot to allow six anti-Amaechi lawmakers to sit and commence impeachment process against the governor.

It was gathered that the self-acclaimed Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Evans Bippi, early Friday met with the State Commissioner of Police, CP Mbu, on the planned sitting of the six legislators.

Bippi was said to have told the CP that he had secured the signatures of 27 lawmakers to convene a session of the House.
