The lawmaker representing Bonny State Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Victor Oko Jumbo, on Wednesday emerged as the new speaker of the Assembly.
Jumbo was elected at a meeting of three lawmakers loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara in Port Harcourt.
The development is expected to reignite the crisis in the Assembly despite the calls for all parties in the dispute to sheath their swords in line with an agreement reached in last December’s meeting convened by President Bola Tinubu.
