High Court Affirms Edison Ehie Speaker Of Rivers Assembly

The political face-off in Rivers State has taken a new dimension.

This is as the High Court Sitting in Port Harcourt has affirmed Edison Ehie as the authentic Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Ehie, is one of the four lawmakers in the camp of Governor Siminalayi Fubara. He was suspended and removed as leader of the house by his colleagues in the wake of the crisis at the House of Assembly in October.

In its ruling, the court restrained Martins Amaewhule and Dumle Maol from parading themselves as Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The court also warned against the use of Thugs and Police officers to forcefully gain access into the Assembly Complex.
