The House of Representatives has passed a resolution for the takeover of the affairs of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The motion followed a motion by Mr Andrew Uchendu. Uchendu's motion came following the crisis that rocked the Assembly leading to the fictionalization of the House.

If this comes to stay, it means the House of Representatives would have the duty to make laws for Rivers State.

It also means that the Rivers Assembly would not be able to do anything against the governor, Rotimi Amaechi who is currently facing the battle of his life as his party is yet to recall him from suspension.

The House had also passed a motion calling for the deployment of the police commissioner from the state.
