The lawmakers loyal to Fubara’s predecessor and current Minister of the FCT Nyesom Wike, have been holding their sessions at the quarters.

Addressing newsmen, Fubara expressed his disappointment with the development as he recounted his efforts in reaching out to the Speaker of the Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, before his arrival this morning.

“I’m here this morning to comply with the judgement.

“Before my arrival, I already made several attempts including phone call to reach the Speaker and other members.

“I also wrote a letter personally to the Honourable Speaker for this particular invitation.

“But it is unfortunate that at the gate, you can see that the place is completely sealed and there is no sign that anything is going to happen today.

“The reason why we are doing this is the interest of our people. I don’t think there anything to be worried about. Maybe they are working on the letter. I expect to hear from them.” Fubara said.
