A faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly has elected Rt. Hon. Edie Edison as Speaker.

Official Statement from the Office of the Speaker, 10th Assembly, Rivers State House of Assembly**

Dear Fellow Rivers People,

I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. Today, I stand before you as the newly elected Speaker of the 10th Assembly of Rivers State House of Assembly, humbled by the trust you have placed in me to lead our great state.

It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of responsibility that I address you regarding recent events in our esteemed Assembly. As your chosen representatives, we have a sacred duty to uphold the values of integrity, accountability, and dedication to public service.

Regrettably, it has come to my attention that some members of our Assembly have fallen short of these principles. In light of their actions, which undermine the trust and faith you have bestowed upon us, I have taken the difficult decision to suspend the defaulted members from their legislative duties.

Rest assured, this decision was not made lightly. We are committed to ensuring that the Rivers State House of Assembly continues to be a beacon of hope and progress for all our people. We will work tirelessly to restore your trust in our institution and fulfill the promises we made to you.

I urge you, my fellow citizens, to remain steadfast in your support for a united and prosperous Rivers State. Together, we will overcome challenges and build a future where honesty, accountability, and transparency prevail.

Thank you for your unwavering trust and understanding. Let us move forward, hand in hand, towards a brighter tomorrow.

Rt Hon Ehie Edison , Esq, DSSRS
Speaker, 10th Assembly
Rivers State House of Assembly

Through his official X handle, the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminialayi Fubara has congratulated the new Speaker.

In his first Assignment, Rt. Hon. Edison-led faction has impeached and suspended the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the other faction, Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule (Obio-Akpor 1) and Rt. Hon. Dumle Maol (Gokana 1) respectively.

In addition, it is also reported that the factional Speaker has also suspended the Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Chibuzor Simeon Amadi, and forwarded a report to the Governor to appoint another in Acting Capacity.

It can be recalled that the Martin Amaewhule faction allegedly backed by the FCT Minister and former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike earlier this morning suspended Ehie Edison (Ahoada East II), Sokari Goodboy Sokari (Ahoada West), Adolphus Oruibienimigha (Opobo/Nkoro) and Victor Oko Jumbo (Bonny).

The Amaewhule-faction also presented an impeachment notice on gross abuse of office by Gov Fubara, which was moved by Sunday Nwankwo (Omuma) and supported by all sitting 23 members of the House.

Congratulations Mr. Speaker of the 10th Assembly of Rivers State, Rt Hon ( Barr ). Edison Ogerenye Ehie DSSRS . We believe your leadership will unite the house and bridged the gap between the Executive and the Legislature for a greater and better Rivers State.

~SGS

Fire on the mountain. Fubara is becoming strong politically . Funny enough, Wike political strength have been weakened. Wike power is only limited to Rivers State. As it stand today, Fubara will deal with him with the powers he has in the State. Rivers State high court will stop any form of impeachment of Fubara led government. What God can’t do doesn’t exist. Wike will be severely dealt with in Rivers State politics. Fubara should applied the method Indefatigable Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki applied in defeating his clueless godfather, Adams Oshimole. Fubara shouldn’t been treated the way Ambode was treated badly in Lagos State by Tinubu oooo.

Press Briefing on the Situation in Rivers State by Chief E. K. Clark, OFR, CON

CALL FCT MINISTER, NYESOM WIKE, SECURITY AGENCIES IN RIVERS STATE TO ORDER, CHIEF E.K. CLARK TELLS PRESIDENT TINUBU

30th October 2023.


I have been greatly disturbed by the reported developments in Rivers State in the last 24 hours. I have been reliably informed that there is a plot to unlawfully remove the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Siminalaye Fubara, who has spent only about 5 months in office.

I understand the sad episode is being orchestrated by the immediate past Governor of Rivers State and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Nyesom Wike. And that the intention is to remove the Governor, force his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu to resign, and install the Speaker of the House of Assembly, another Ikwerre person as the governor of the State.
Let me warn strongly, we won't allow that to happen!

President Bola Tinubu must call Nyesom Wike and the security agencies in Rivers State to order, to avert any untold crisis in Rivers State.

Last night, the hallowed chamber of the Rivers State House of Assembly was burnt, in what apparently is part of the plot to destabilize the State.

The Governor was tear-gassed and was even threatened with being shot at when he visited the Assembly Complex after the incident, to assess the level of damage.

We are not in a barbaric state where people can do whatever they like; we are in a democracy and the tenets of constitutional democracy must be upheld by all
Rivers people have suffered enough political crises, the state should not be allowed to degenerate again into its dark past, and the Niger Delta Region by extension. The consequences would be dire for the stability of the region and the National Economy.

What has Governor Fubara done wrong? Refusing to be further "remote controlled"?

Mr. Nyesom Wike was Governor for 8 years, nobody hassled him. He governed Rivers State like an Emperor, he did not show any iota of respect and regard to anyone, not even those who imposed him on Rivers people in 2015.

President Tinubu must act fast and avert the unfolding crisis in Rivers State in the interest of his administration, the nation's democracy, and the Country at large.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!

Signed:

Chief E. K. Clark, OFR, CON
National Leader, South-South/PANDEF

Very good. The fight has begun.
Fubara should as a typical Niger Delta man and not like Ambode who allowed a man from osun state to boot him out of office.

Next is for the governor to set up a commission of enquiry to probe Wike's administration.

Wike did it to Amaechi so you should also do it to him.

A politician without grassroot support is only a few caucus meetings away from being rendered irrelevant...

Wike should thread carefully, Sim has the peoples, PDP, APC rivers, Northern and LP support... he should also know the FG is done with him and Tinubu would waste no time in throwing him under the bus as the Lagos replica news is springing up..

Fubara should never be a coward like the clueless Ambode that allowed the clueless certificate forger Tinubu to overthrow him in his government. Applied Obaseki treatment on Oshimole and you wike will regret his actions against him and the party Pdp.

Oh, so lawlessness has conscience? Lol. Nigerians. We celebrate what we abhor because it favours us. The country is morally bankrupt, it's been dog-eat-dog but INEC and the judiciary has taken us to another level. The best movies (elections) are yet to start. Grab your popcorn and prepare to watch Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo electoral drama.

It's not in his favor because the judiciary and police are controlled by the federal government. Unfortunately, Wike might use the federal government might. Besides, there are laws as guidelines to being elected as speaker.

The suppose speaker has been suspended hence his pronouncement henceforth are null and void.
