The governor also addressed the defection of Martins Amaewhule and 26 other members from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Despite their recent attempts to retract their actions, Fubara declared that they could no longer be recognized as legislators.
The Amaewhule faction, loyal to former Governor Nyesom Wike, has been in conflict with Fubara. The governor emphasized that after providing ample time for the Amaewhule group to reconsider their position, the decision to disqualify them is final and irreversible.
