How the real speaker in Rivers will solve the crisis, by Emmanuel Aziken

The political melodrama in Rivers State was again brought to the fore on Thursday after a visit by Governor Siminalayi Fubara to the legislative quarters of the Rivers State House of Assembly in Port-Harcourt.

On account of the damages, the faction of the assembly led by Martin Amaewhule and which is loyal to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, relocated to an improvised building within the living quarters to hold their regular meetings. Mr Amaewhule, sensing that the renovation scheme may be targeted at paralysing the faction, immediately raised his opposition saying that there was nothing wrong with the complex.

However, they have failed to look at Section 109 which confers the power to declare the seat vacant on the speaker of the House. In effect, determining the legitimacy of the real speaker in Rivers State is pivotal to solving the crisis in the State. If the courts determine that Amaewhule is genuine, then Fubara will be more than finished.

So totally displeased with Fubara, the former governor has now taken to using his political privileges in Abuja to sustain his camp in Rivers State.
