Not so true, go & read the law properly, when there is chaos in a party’s state structure with factions, elected party members are allowed to cross carpet, and it is quite clear in Rivers State that there is a problem.
There is no problem just one man problem Wike want to control the state after 8 years Sim is the chairman of the party as of today Wike has no power

In Summary,

1. Nobody should access the Rivers Assembly Complex until proper renovation is done by the Governor.

2. Nobody should use the Police to gain access to the building in whatever guise until the building is conducive enough for sittings.

3. Amaewhule & Dumle (Speaker & Dep-Speaker, let's say of Wike faction) should not interfere or disturb proceedings by Ehie Edison as he discharges his statutory legislative duties of summoning and holding meetings (functions of a Speaker), issuing notices, passing resolutions & bills.

4. If it is found that Ehie Edison has filed a frivolous suit, he will be made to pay N50m as damages.

5. The motion on notice alongside this judgement must be served by Ehie Edison-faction to the Amaewhule & Dumle at most tomorrow in persons or through substituted means.

6. Judgement adjourned until 21/12/2023.

PS: Ex-parte judgements ordinarily expire after 7 days unless re-applied for which will take another 7 days and no more extension whatsoever.
Thank you

Please read the documents you uploaded, nowhere is it stated that he was confirmed speaker, they just got an order from a favourable court and judge to enable the governor pass the budget in the government house, moreover, you need 2/3rd to be speaker, you also need 2/3rd to remove a speaker, and finally you need 2/3rd to form a quorum

You are absolutely right!
Quorum of 2/3 is only in a situation whereby there's need to elect or remove Speaker/Deputy Speaker.
Only 1/3 is needed to conduct legislation.
Based on the current situation the H.E Fubara faction can easily change the standing order of the house to accommodate their interest.

The governor should stop looking at Wike's face and make sure that the seats of the 27 members that decamped is made vacant so that EYENECK can conduct another elections that will see his men coming in. Politics is really a dirty game
I think the second runner up In the election would be declared no need conducting fresh elections

How does national level concern Rivers State House of Assembly in this instance?
You've been corrected and you're still arguing. No defection is allow, except there is faction at the national executive level. That has been decided at the supreme court.
And as such, that fractionalization must paralyze the activities of party to function but as at today, the party is still functioning and sponsoring candidates and attending to election cases.

There is a Secretary, that's what matters.

There are no factions. This one shouldn't bother you because the Court will not rule on it till the next election.

Stop being emotional, why are you also advocating for the illegal and unjust rival of a sitting governor. Call a spade a spade . Simple. You want the governor to be molested and humiliated and yet he shouldn't speak a word abi ?

That's a good one for Gov. Fubara. Wike should respect himself and let the Governor concentrate on development.

An Interim Order that costs an arm and a leg! The Court will eventually find that the action has no merit and the damages awarded as undertaking by the Applicant will fall due for payment. Meanwhile no court has ruled that the decamped legislators are no longer assemblymen! The Speaker cannot validly use the gavel!

The 27 are no longer members of the House having left the party that brought them

The first thing the authentic speaker should do is to declare their seats vacant

Only a court can decide this, not what you type here or any individual can do

The game just start getting interesting.

The governor should go and present his 2024 budget to the validly recognized Speaker and they give a speedy hearing and approve the budget so that the governor can still perform his constitutional duties while seizing the other 27 or 26 rebel lawmakers in the state.

The court will interpret if there is any chaos or not, if PDP takes it to court for interpretation. Those 27 members cited the crisis surrounding the position of the party National Secretary as what engineered their cross carpeting.

Well their seats have been declared vacant by the presently recognized speaker. The instruction immediately would be transmitted to INEC and in turn INEC expected to set a schedule to by elections in their constituencies.

Expect PDP to ensure that they never return to the seats. Expect the 27 to fight in the courts. Expect Wike to use his contacts to fight. Expect APC to fight on their behalf. In all we all expect the people of Rivers state not to suffer any negative consequences of poor governance from irresponsible politicians.
