Facts have emerged as to the resignation of Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Ehie, recognised by an order of the Rivers State High Court, was loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The lawmaker, who represented Ahoada-East Constituency 2 in the State House of Assembly, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Sunday evening, also vacated his seat as a member of the House.

LEADERSHIP observed that the resignation of the factional speaker was never part of the resolutions reached during a peace parley on the Rivers State political crisis, presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abuja in December 2023.

Sources, however, hinted that Ehie resigned his position to allegedly create a vacuum in the House in order to accommodate some of the resolutions of the Abuja peace pact.

Feelers also suggest that the decision was to allegedly pave way for his appointment as the Chief of Staff to the Governor, even though the current Chief of Staff, Hon. Chidi Amadi, is yet to resign his appointment.

Another reason adduced to Ehie’s resignation was to allow the National Assembly to take over the Rivers State House of Assembly since the House has only five members following the declaration of the seats of 25 members vacant after their defection from PDP to APC.

OP, as it stands, it is a constitutional matter. The issue is in court, with PDP insisting that the 27 seats have become vacant by reason of the decamping. Once again, note that the agreement was not in anyway binding on any of the parties.

By the constitution, it remains incontrovertible that the 27 resigned. Ehie acting in his then position as the speaker recognized by a court order. All actions taken by Ehie in his then capacity as the speaker, therefore, are termed legal.

Every action taken by Ehie remains illegal and unconstitutional. People p'qeemed to have fop''¡otten0the fact that Ehie with other three members have been suspended by the house of assembly. The injuction obtained through the judge who was purported to be a brother to the chief of staff to the Governor was a kangaroo injuction.


You all make me laugh.
