Rivers crisis: Court declares Fubara’s ally, Ehie, authentic Speaker

A High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Tuesday, confirmed Edison Ehie as the authentic Speaker of the state’s House of Assembly.

Ehie is one of the four lawmakers backing Governor Siminalayi Fubara in the ongoing face-off between him and his immediate predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Edison was suspended and removed as leader of the House by his colleagues who are loyal to Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Giving the ruling, Justice M.W. Danagogo also ordered Martins Amaewhule and Dumle Maol to stop parading themselves as Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The court also warned against using thugs and policemen to gain access to the Assembly Complex.

The political crisis rocking the state took a new turn on Monday when about 27 lawmakers dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress.
