During the virtual session held on Thursday, Amaewhule and the others requested the court to halt the implementation of a high court ruling that removed them from office, pause any further actions in the case, and nullify any decisions made by Jumbo while in office. They also sought a speedy resolution of the matter, arguing that the trial court overstepped its authority.
recalls that a Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt had prohibited Martin Amaewhule from acting as the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly following a motion by the new Speaker, Victor Jumbo, and two others, declaring Amaewhule's seat vacant. Justice Charles Wali, in a ruling on the motion ex parte, also prevented the other 24 Assembly members from entering the premises or conducting legislative duties on behalf of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
