[Punch]

A member of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Alhaji Muhammed Ali, on Friday said the current crises in Rivers Assembly was a miscalculation by those opposing Gov. Rotimi Amaechi.

Ali said this in Kaduna that the action of the five lawmakers portrayed a desperation to thwart the democratic process.

"It is a miscalculation on their part. You cannot impeach the speaker, who has 27 members supporting him," he said adding that it was also a reflection of the "deep crises within the PDP".

According to him, the crises may mark the demise of the party which has failed to manage the situation properly.
