Rivers crisis: Lawmakers Warn Evans Bipi to Stop Parading as Speaker


Lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly have warned one of its members –Evans Bapakaye Bipi to desist from impersonating the Speaker of the House, Otelemaba Amachree. The lawmakers made the declaration in a press statement signed by 26 members stating the position of the majority of members on the recent crisis that rocked the Assembly.

The statement chronicled the events leading to the purported impeachment claim by 5 members of the House and urged the public to disregard the false claims.

Since the botched impeachment attempt, one Hon. Evans Bipi has rather surreptitiously impersonated the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly in Defiance and gross violation of the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and has gone ahead to make publications in the national media. We hereby call on the public to disregard the impostor (Hon. Evans Bapakaye Bipi) and his fabricated fallacies which is targeted at misinforming the general public.

It will be recalled that Evans Bipi and four of his colleagues attempted toppling the leadership of the rivers state house of assembly on the 9th of June 2013, a situation that degenerated to a free for all fight in the hallowed chambers.

However since that botched attempt Honorable Evans Bipi has been parading himself as the speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, a situation that is not going down with his colleagues.
