Rivers Assembly throws jab at Fubara’s loyalist and ex-factional speaker, Ehie

As peace gradually returns to the Rivers House of Assembly, the lawmakers have launched a fresh attack on former factional Speaker and loyalist of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Hon. Edison Ehie, saying he was never a Speaker.

Ehie was the Majority Leader of the Assembly before he proclaimed himself as the factional Speaker in the heat of the political crisis that rocked the state for months.

However, with a peace deal brokered by President Bola Tinubu that effectively ended the fued between Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Ehie resigned both as Speaker and member representing Ahaoda East Constituency 11, on December 29, 2023.
