Reps In Heated Argument On Rivers Emergency Rule As House Begins Plenary

Reps in shouting match ahead of Rivers emergency rule debate


Members of the House of Representatives engaged in a heated exchange as the green chamber prepares to debate the emergency rule in Rivers State.

The shouting match began as the legislators entered the chamber ahead of Wednesday’s plenary.

As of the time of filing this report, the House had entered into session.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in Rivers following the prolonged political crisis in the South-South state.

The president also suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and members of the state assembly for six months.

Tinubu also nominated a former Chief Of Naval Staff, Vice-admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, to administer the state.

Reacting, the spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Akin Rotimi, said Tinubu informed the national assembly through a letter before the emergency proclamation.

Rotimi added that Tinubu’s letter informing the house of his decision and seeking approval on the state of emergency in Rivers in line with section 305 of the Constitution has been transmitted to the green chamber and would be read during plenary on Wednesday for further legislative action.

He said Tinubu met with the leadership of both chambers, and the National Security Adviser and Service Chiefs before the broadcast.
