The Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly has accused the Felix Obuah-led PDP in the state of planning “to cause general chaos and confusion in Rivers state”.

This was contained in a statement by the Honourable Speaker on behalf of the members of the House.

The statement said “The Leadership and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly wish to bring to the notice of the people of Rivers State and Nigerians some of the dangerous moves by the Felix Obuah -led PDP to cause general chaos and confusion in Rivers State”.

The statement also alleged that “a fake mace has been smuggled into the state to enable five members of the house hold an emergency session even when the house adjourned sine die on Tuesday,April 23, 2013”.

Amachree further said “The Abuja plan on ground is to falsely impeach the Rt. Hon. Speaker and the Executive Governor of Rivers State Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and create confusion through varied responses, which they hope will make the state ungovernable and provide them with some kind of warped basis to introduce emergency rule in Rivers State”.

“Furthermore, there are strong indications that some persons have been detailed exclusively to create systemic collapse of security in the state, putting lives and property in danger”.

He describes the action as “undemocratic, unacceptable and a complete violation of the mandate that the good people of Rivers State have vested on us”.

He however charged “the good people of Rivers State to remain calm, watchful and law abiding as the scenario unfolds”.
