About 26 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly have suspended the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Martins Amaehwule.
Also, the House elected and inaugurated the leader of the House, Edison Ehie, as its new Speaker.

The number of pro-Fubara lawmakers increased to 26 after some realigned from the earlier 24 that wanted to impeach him.

This came following the crisis that rocked the assembly, on Monday, over the move by some of the lawmakers to impeach the governor of the state, Sir Siminalayi Fubara.

The development had resulted in the burning down of the hallowed chambers of the legislative arm of the government on Sunday night.

Following the crisis, the state assembly premises had been cordoned off by fully armed security personnel.

Lawmakers re-align
Earlier today, 24 of the 32 lawmakers in the state assembly had attempted to impeach Governor Fubara.

They also moved to suspend all eight others loyal to the governor.

However, at noon about 18 of the 24, who were against the governor, had reportedly realigned. This made the pro-Fubara lawmakers 26. And they impeached the Speaker of the House, Martins Amaehwule.

Addressing newsmen after a brief plenary of the house at a chamber within the Government House, Port Harcourt, the new Speaker, Edison, promised to ensure justice and fairness in the process of legislation.

He said: “The House just rose from plenary and with all humility I must thank my colleagues, 26 Assembly members, who have just elected me as the new Speaker of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly.

“My commitment to Rivers people is that I will be just and fair to all and sundry. And I will ensure that rule of law takes its course.

“I will not betray my colleagues and Rivers people and I will not betray my constituency.

“I will also ensure the independence of the Rivers State House of Assembly is adhered to, with mutual respect to the judiciary and executive arms.

“Everything due my colleagues as honourable members, constitutionally will be given to them. The honourable members that have been suspended will also be given a fair hearing.

“The Committee of Information will publish the names of those suspended. The House has also urged the Committee on Petitions to give them a fair hearing.

“The House has adjourned sine die because the Parliamentary Association of Nigeria has served us a notice of indefinite strike from Abuja. So we cannot sit again.

“It means any sitting can’t hold water. The court is there; if you are aggrieved should approach the court.”

Vanguard and fake news

Wike would learn the hard way

Long movie

That's the way to go.
The governor must activate his executive powers as the chief security officer of the state.
Don't allow wike give you what he can't take from others.

By next year you will start hearing about wike and Tinubu because wike is never loyal to anyone.

Simcard is listening to my advice. Re-alignment is happening and politicians are securing their own interests and abandoning Wike just like Wike would do given his own position.

Na who carry palm fronds, goat they follow.

If this is true, then it's game over for Wike

6 has become 26.

Nigerian politics. Wike self no try. Why try control a seating governor?

Omo !!! From 6 to 26 in less than 24 hours!!!

tinsel:

Vanguard and fake news

Una think say na only una Sabi media war ba?

Hahaha. This is Uhuru. Wike is gone.

SIM really learnt well!!

Make una go begin find the 26 House members. Na assignment from Fubara😂😂.

Infact, their signatures can be gotten at gunpoint if I be SIM😂😂.

Wike go learn.

Atiku should be laughing hard at Wike by now.

Three things are going to happen to Wike

1. He is going to be suspended from the party
2. His core loyalists will be sacked while some will pledge allegiance to Fubara and retain their jobs.
3. APC will close its door against him thereby making him a political orphan

forgiveness:

The alignment is too sudden.

I won't be surprised if this is still Wike work

I like seeing impotent men grow big balls. Fubara has grown balls.

Hahahahahaha MS247 is crying

good one fubara
anything to bring down that bastard son of a hoe Wike

tinsel:

Vanguard and fake news

Exactly

cktheluckyman:
Omo !!! From 6 to 26 in less than 24 hours!!!

The op is a proper mugu,an improper fraction

Wike over rated himself,

Pride goes before a fall

Nahh apc still need Wike though. He is their plan to ensure Atiku doesn’t get the ticket in 2027. Sim may have already received backing from atiku during this imbroglio. Remember sim is still
In pdp and likely loyal to atiku. If sim promises to work against atiku, abuja will support him in his ousting of Wike.

Because he is a threat to APC and Tinubu presidency as well.

Sim was Wike's Achilles heel... he was his hold on PDP due to Rivers state strategic monetary position and being wike's grassroot..

Wike has to start all over from gathering sympathy from ikwerre again.. just like oshomole did in Edo state after the Obaseki saga..

Betrayal runs in Rivers politicians blood.

Amaechi removed every feather on Odili

Wike stampeded Amaechi in the mud until he was cleaned up by APC

Fubara is showing Wike shege so soon.

Jagaban is their father. 2 decades of breathtaking relevance and still counting.

Some mugus go still believe this kind obvious fake news. Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It reminds me of how Obi and Atiku with their lawyers conducted their court case in the media. Lol 🤣🤣🤣 media propaganda doesn't change the facts on ground. It's just a self deceit. Lol 🤣🤣🤣.. hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 6 to 26...... vanguard is cashing out already from Rivers State resources just like lawyers did to obi and Atiku. Everybody corrupt for Naija in one way or the other.

...Or probably, what you are saying is that the rest of the SW politicians are simply imp0tent? To be ridden by one man for 2 decades?

The one man that rode them is now the president of the federal Republic of Nigeria and the state he governed for 8 years is the best state in Nigeria. He has gone further to appoint his tribes men into key positions and you and the fertile dumbs have no answer to anything he thrown at you. You lots that change leaders like diapers, were Una don reach? Nowhere.

😂 who are they deceiving

Wike is just joking. No one is above the state governor.
Same way he dismantled Ameachi, is same way the present governor will dismantle him

Because jagaban found himself in the SW.

Lame excuse. If you're good at something you will excel anywhere. He is Nigeria president. He did it at both regional n federal level. Many serving and retired governor in the country owe their success to him. He gave the platform, he gave them backing, he stood tall for them and they won. Plethora of senators, reps members and house of assembly members to mention a few. Jagaban knows the game

Reason is Yorubas are WEAK. This is the BITTER truth. 😒😌😌

Yorubas are Afraid of TAKING RISKS! Dat's why those Men are Afraid of Challenging Tinubu.

That's why Yorubas Hardly Reside outside South West!😕

During my Time in Benue State NYSC Orientation Camp,
all the Yorubas were Writing Letters of REDEPLOYMENT back to their Osun, Ondo and Ekiti states
When Delta, Edo and South East Boys were Marching into the Hinterlands of GBOKO, ZAKI BIAM, Aliede, etc.😊😊😎

Yorubas LACKS Bravery!

Knows the game ke
Buhari maintained Lordship over the North for so many years, same with Tinubu

You can't try that in the South East and south south, turn against the people and you'll be rubbish. Go and read the writings of the colonial masters and you'll see the same style.

Buhari and Tinubu can rule over docile people who claim to be everything but can't stand against their oppressors. They can even become UN secretary generals we don't care. Look at the way Tinubu changed Ambode like diapers and you called it mastery of the game?

Chai 😪 😪😪

Hmmm. There is a thin line between bravery, stupidly and untimely death. Why you are aiming for bravery, and average Yoruba with moving a muscle from where he stool already knows how everything is gonna end. Yoruba is stealth but success is assured.

Yoruba don't flex muscles and disrupt rather quick n painstaking decisions. You expect an average Yoruba man who cannot swim to go be slugging it out with an Ijaw boy in the creek, he already knows it is suicide. He will rather leave their peacefully than to wanna prove a point to anybody
