A fresh political storm is gathering in Rivers State as a civil society organisation has formally triggered the process for the recall of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, alongside 25 other lawmakers.
If the effort gains traction, it could become one of the most far-reaching recall initiatives against a state legislature in Nigeria’s recent political history—targeting not just the Speaker, but a majority of lawmakers accused of defying judicial guidance and deepening political instability in Rivers State.
