FLASH: Rivers Lawmakers Move Sittings To Government House

The Rivers State House of Assembly has moved its sittings to a new complex within the Government House, Port Harcourt, Osun Defender gathered.

The lawmakers led by Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie, an ally to the state governor, Siminalaye Fubara, were seen making their way into the Rivers State Government House.

This came following the demolition work on the Assembly building on Moscow Road, Port Harcourt.

Osun Defender had reported that the political crisis in the state deepened on Wednesday as about 10 bulldozers drove into the premises of the state House of Assembly and started the demolition of the complex.

The demolition is being done under tight security.

It would be recalled that a State High Court holden in Port Harcourt, Tuesday, had in an order allowed Edison to remain the Speaker of the Assembly until the matter before this court is dispensed.

It was gathered that the house, on the directive of the state governor, relocated its sittings to a new place provided by the governor.

The lawmakers in its first sitting elected Hon. Adolphus T. Orubienimigha as the new majority leader of the assembly.
