An Appeal Court in Port Harcourt has scheduled a ruling for (today) Friday, June 14, 2024, regarding a case filed by Martin Amaewhule, on behalf of twenty-six others, challenging the decision of the Rivers State High Court, which favored Victor Oko-Jumbo, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly.
An interlocutory injunction was also granted against Amaewhule and the twenty-six others, which has now been consolidated in the appeal.
Should the Appeal Court rule in favor of Amaewhule, all laws and bills passed by him and the other members will be validated, and they will resume their legislative functions.
The affected lawmakers are loyal to the FCT Mninister, Nyesom Wike.
