Factional Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Victor Oko-Jumbo, confirmed the development while addressing lawmakers during the plenary at a temporary facility used for legislative business in Port Harcourt on Friday.
Oko-Jumbo clarified that the action was necessitated by the fact that the Assembly “strongly believes that the Court of Appeal was in error when it held that the Rivers State High Court lacked the Jurisdiction to hear and determine SUIT NO. PHC/1512/CS/2024.”
He declared that he remained the authentic Speaker of the House because there cannot be two Houses of Assembly in Rivers State.
