Rivers crisis: Pro-Fubara, Wike lawmakers hold parallel sittings today

On Sunday night, the House led by Victor Oko-Jumbo, which supports the State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, issued a letter through the Clerk, Dr. G. M. Gillis-West, inviting commissioner-nominee Emmanuel Frank-Fubara for screening and confirmation on Monday as a member of the State Executive Council.

Meanwhile, the House led by Martin Amaewhule, which supports the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, will also hold a plenary session today, as reported by Punch.

The pro-Fubara legislators will convene in an improvised chamber at the Government House in Port Harcourt, while the pro-Wike lawmakers will meet at the State Assembly’s official quarters on Aba Road, also within the city.
