00:06:54,680 –> 00:06:59,839
ends in court. Meanwhile, the
People’s Democratic Party PvP has described as reckless

107
00:06:59,839 –> 00:07:01,920
the it says almost and alleged call
for war by mister Tony Okucha, the

108
00:07:02,000 –> 00:07:08,560
Rivers State Katakachiaman of the All Progressives
Congress APC in the statements and Abuja honorable

109
00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:13,120
neighbor Lagunaba, the National Publicity Secretary
of the PDP alleged that the many utterances

110
00:07:13,160 –> 00:07:16,480
of mister Ocucha p learning pan towards
instigating crisis in Rivers State. The PvP

111
00:07:16,560 –> 00:07:20,519
said mister Okocha is working to trunquente
with the people of Rivers State, as

112
00:07:20,560 –> 00:07:26,040
expressed in the governorship election which produced
governors similar lay Hubara. The use of

113
00:07:26,040 –> 00:07:30,519
the word war by mister Okulcha in
Mistotland statement clearly shows an equal intention which

114
00:07:30,519 –> 00:07:32,839
has been firmly resistant and will continue
to be resisted by the people of Rivers

115
00:07:32,879 –> 00:07:36,839
State. The records outmost by Tony
Okulcha Fadel exposes the sini stop noted by

116
00:07:36,879 –> 00:07:41,959
the APC in Rivers State which has
been seeken for ways to instigate crisis.

117
00:07:42,000 –> 00:07:46,040
It also wants to fostfully overthrow a
democratic order and impose an anti democratic region

118
00:07:46,079 –> 00:07:47,800
in Rivers States, in clear valulation
of Section one sub section two of the

119
00:07:47,800 –> 00:07:51,680
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
one nine nine nine. As Ahmed Dead,

120
00:07:53,160 –> 00:07:57,079
the APC in Rivers State should note
that its malevolence came to instigate crisis

121
00:07:57,079 –> 00:08:00,839
and postphony take over the state has
failed. Rivers ten is a stronghold of

122
00:08:00,879 –> 00:08:03,319
the PDP and the people are solemnly
behind the government of the PDP in the

123
00:08:03,360 –> 00:08:07,680
state. Honorable Order Hu Namba called
on the Inspecting General of Police to invite

124
00:08:07,680 –> 00:08:13,800
mister Okucha for questioning. According to
PvP, mister Kultura auterances constitute a clearer

125
00:08:13,879 –> 00:08:16,639
vendor to Rivers States and the country. The PDP also called on the Federal

126
00:08:16,680 –> 00:08:20,160
government and indeed the national leadership of
the APC to as a matter of agency

127
00:08:20,439 –> 00:08:24,680
reigning and kushioned mister Toniokucha to stop
being an agent of the stabilization and referred

128
00:08:24,720 –> 00:08:28,720
to democracy in Nigeria. Our part
of demands that the Inspecting General of Police

129
00:08:28,720 –> 00:08:33,840
immediately invite the River States APC CTICA
Chairman and holed him personally liable for his

130
00:08:33,879 –> 00:08:37,120
authorances which constitute a clear and present
vendor to the sustenance of democracy in Nigeria

131
00:08:37,159 –> 00:08:41,639
and to peace and tranquility in Rivers
State. On the other hand, the

132
00:08:41,679 –> 00:08:45,200
Court of Appeal in Ambuja has resulved
its judgments on the appean lodged by Martin

133
00:08:45,240 –> 00:08:48,879
Amamuli and twenty four other members of
the River State House of Assembly against Speaker

134
00:08:48,919 –> 00:08:52,679
Victor ku Jumbo and five others.
As reported by Channel’s TV, the cause,

135
00:08:52,879 –> 00:08:56,120
which challenges a High Court ruling declaring
the as SATs weacons, was a

136
00:08:56,200 –> 00:09:01,279
job following the adoption of graefs by
all parties during the virtual procedents. On

137
00:09:01,320 –> 00:09:05,000
Thursday, Amarula and his associates forged
the court to stop the execution of the

138
00:09:05,080 –> 00:09:07,879
High Court judgment and suspend further proceedings
in the case. They also sought to

139
00:09:07,919 –> 00:09:13,080
notify any decisions meant by jumbo Wilding
office, Arguing that the initial court order

140
00:09:13,159 –> 00:09:16,480
left jurisdiction. Amaios legal team forged
the court to dismiss their appeal on grounds

141
00:09:16,519 –> 00:09:20,840
of incompetent records of appeal transmitted the
Twain judge panel, led by Justice Jimmy

142
00:09:20,879 –> 00:09:24,679
or Loucai ba the reserved judgment,
promising to notify all concerned parties of the

143
00:09:24,679 –> 00:09:28,480
decision at a later date. The
court had earlier issued an interim order on

144
00:09:28,559 –> 00:09:33,519
June fourteenth, instructing all parties to
maintain the status call and refrain from any

145
00:09:33,519 –> 00:09:37,759
confrontational actions until a final ruling is
made. The legal respuat came from a

146
00:09:37,840 –> 00:09:41,320
regal State High Court decision on May
ten, twenty twenty four, which prohibited

147
00:09:41,360 –> 00:09:45,320
Martin Amaimuli from identifying himself as Speaker
of the legal State House of Assembly.

148
00:09:45,759 –> 00:09:50,360
The ruling also brought twenty four other
Assembly members from accessing legislative premises or engaging

149
00:09:50,360 –> 00:09:54,919
in official legislative duties. Amarula and
his colleagues approached the Court of Appeal seeking

150
00:09:54,960 –> 00:09:58,600
to overturn the High Court’s decision.
They argue that the ruling was unjust and

151
00:09:58,720 –> 00:10:01,039
