The Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Chike Amaewhule, recently hosted members of the Simplified Movement, loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, in the political camp of Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister.

Speaking at the event, Amaewhule emphasized the importance of political stakeholders working together for the betterment of Rivers State, urging those who had previously distanced themselves from the "political family" during the rivalry between Fubara and Wike to join back.
