The Speaker is the number 3 citizen of a state,there is nothing else as big. All other appointments in Rivers State will be approved by Wike and the House of Assembly.
You don't understand politics, I guess you're from the South East.

Fubara would've defeated Wike if,he had majority of the assembly members on his side, and if he didn't demolish the assembly complex. How can you defeat wike with only 4 house members as against 27 and he still demolished the assembly complex which the courts will surely frown at cuz,it's an executive rascality taken too far.truth is Fubara didn't do his calculations well before embarking on such fight
You see when ipob members come here to cast aspersions on Wike due to their hates for Wike and his ethnicity. Their hates for Wike followed his stern denial of being Igbo which is the truth. His actions of keeping the peace following the fallout of Sars Protest in Oyigbo and some other actions he took in politics including not supporting Obi presidency which he knew had no thruster.
Edison would have resigned since. He gave the governor false hope. His wrong statistics was what led to Fubara's bold steps. He had told the governor he had the backing of the majority of the HOA. When the fight started Fubara realised that it was a ruse. Edison only had 4 including himself.

both lucrative and more powerful and job security is guaranteed than a COSwho can be fired by the governor anytime he wishes.

It's also more prestigious. And if I may take the circumstance of Aiyedatiwa a notch, in case Fubara and his deputy were to eventually die same time, he is automatically the acting governor. grin

Go and sit down if you do not know how the law works. The same people who put together the law that they should observe, brazenly disregard the law and you clap for them.

Some of you are the ladders and steps the irresponsible politicians climb to inflict citizens with misery and hardship. How can you unashamedly justify lawmakers who disregarded the constitution by decamping from the party that sponsored them, and blatantly tell us that their move was correct?

Even the biggest lawyers in the country have unequivocally stated that the 27 lost their seats by their greedy move. Now go and reverse what has been constitutionally done by the 4 please. Or maybe you can get PDP to stop the court from ensuring that the constitutional provision regarding the vacation of the seats should not be followed.

To you, it was right for the 27 to initiate the impeachment against the governor, with no evidence of a wrongdoing.

How you fellows blindly follow horrible leaders, need to be studied.

Before the 27 decamped to APC, the other 4 lawmakers had already mpeached Amaewhule and made Edison the speaker of the house. The governor recognised Edison as speaker that same day. It was an illegality because the 4 members of the house cannot form a quorum required by law to impeach the speaker of the House.

And from the day Edison was proclaimed speaker, he began coordinating the activities of the factional members and he had the ears of the governor, who repeatedly interfaced with him in the capacity of speaker, which was wrong as the governor blatantly refused to acknowledge his emergence as an illegality.

Now the Federal High Court still affirmed same Edison as speaker, even when they know he failed to reach a quorum and shouldn't have been speaker.

In the eyes of the law, Edison was never a speaker because the circumstances surrounding his emergency is soaked in illegality. He shouldn't parade himself as an ex-speaker. He never was.

Please the first was that Amaewhule suspended the four when the set up to impeach Fubara. The four went to court. The issue escalated. The four went ahead, sat, elected Edison. The 27 decamped and their seats were declared vacant. That's the sequence. Read and check.

"In the eyes of the law"? Did you not read that the court in Rivers agreed with it? Please read. Edison until his resignation was recognized as the speaker. Amaewhule by his decampment lost his seat.

If you do not have a copy of the constitution, you can have it on your phone. Get it and read for a better understanding.

Before they decamped, Governor Sim Fubara had already congratulated Ehie Edison as speaker and was only working with him.

Sure. Ehie was already the speaker at that time.
Clearly Fubara had been informed ahead of the intention of the 27 to decamp to APC. It was the instruction of Wike to them. Wike would keep servicing Tinubu with his so called structure in Rivers state, until some political disagreements arise.

However by the law, put together by the same so called lawmakers, they lost their seats. The claim that PDP in Rivers state is factionalized is a complete lie. It is well publicized that APC has been factionalized in Rivers state since 2015, on the contrary.

You're quite correct..

Firstly, there are really no Fubara lovers, we all are Wike haters.
No pretences about that.

Secondly Wike was called all sorts of names not for supporting Fubara but for the way he used thugs and security personnels to seize Peter Obi's votes and allocate them to Tinubu.

Thirdly Wike and his fans have seen that there is no genuine love for him outside Obio Akpor.
He thought he had all Rivers people in his heart and pockets simply because he controlled 40 billion naira monthly Rivers finances.
Now he has seen that he is nothing special, the same way the sycophants who left Odilli and Amaechi to run after him for their pockets, is the same way they will leave him and run after their next meal ticket.
He is even lucky he got an appointment under the APC government, if not by now he won't even see 5 people around him if Tinubu had not appointed him.

In summary, if you think the feud is over, then you are naive.
Wike would never forgive Fubara for obeying him only because Tinubu waded in.
It means Fubara listened to Tinubu not Wike.

There is much more to come!
more to come from where? You all can keep hearing on wike but it's inconsequential cuz,he has made his political smart choice of supporting A presidential candidate he knows had the possibility of winning. You all think that wike would've attacked Atiku the way he did if he knows that Tinubu wouldn't win?you hate wike cuz of Obi who doesn't know if you exist or not. Same Obi who is now an errand boy to the most brutal president Nigeria ever had(OBJ) anyway, keep waiting for Fubara to strike.

No wonder the white people said "if you want to keep a secret from a black man, hide it in a book". Oga, read and stop arrogantly displaying this level of ignorance.

Stop proving the white man right. Read the constitution. Read your newspapers. Research and get information. Or do I assume that all you read are the words "chest beating"? Ask questions and stop embarrassing yourself discussing what you do not have the information of.

You still believe this your infantile botherline reasoning. Was Ehie suspended after he became speaker or before?
Was Ehie suspended after the 27 defected to APC?
How many people voted Ehie to be the speaker?
How many members must be there to form quorum of the house?
Has the court heard the case instituted to declare the seats of the HOA Members vacant?
Would it not amount to taking the laws in their hand should they declare their seats vacant before the law does so?
Has it been established that there is no division at the national level of PDP?
Bros rest u are a neophyte in politics.
Wike has seized it all. In 2027 being in charge of PDP and APC he can simply stay in his parlour and share elective positions to those he desires.
Now he has shared the RVHA to APC while the Governor he shared to PDP. Don't be surprised Fubara may cross soon.
