The Rivers State Government has called on the public to disregard the news making the rounds that Martins Amaewhule and 26 other lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly have been declared members of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP and the Rivers State House of Assembly.
It was reported on Monday that Justice Okogbule Gbasam of the Rivers State High Court had declared that the Martins Amaewhule led 27 lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly are still members of the PDP.

Reacting to the judgment, the Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Dagogo Iboroma says the suit filed by Wosa Amadi and three others did not seek to declare the seats of Martin Amaewhule and 26 other lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly vacant.
According to him, the suit of the claimants was struck out for want of locus standi and jurisdiction and also for being an abuse of court process which robbed the trial court of jurisdiction to adjudicate on the matter.
