Ehie resigned his position in the House of Assembly following the peace deal reached between Governor Fubara and Wike.

By Charles Opurum

There appears to be an end to the political crisis rocking Rivers State as the member representing Ahoada East Constituency II at the Rivers State House of Assembly, Edison Ehie, has withdrawn his contempt proceedings suit against 25 of the 27 defected lawmakers.

Last December, Ehie, a close ally of the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, declared the seats of 27 lawmakers vacant over their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ehie led the group of four lawmakers loyal to the governor. Fubara on the other hand has been engaged in a fierce political battle with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, the FCT minister.

Earlier, Ehie filed contempt proceedings at the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt against 25 of them in which he challenged their sittings and legislative activities.

In an interesting turn of events, however, Ehie resigned his position in the House of Assembly following the peace deal reached between Governor Fubara and Wike.

Now Mr Ehie is discontinuing and withdrawing his suit against the 25 lawmakers.

When the matter came up for hearing of applications pending before the court today, counsel to the Claimant, Mac-Barango Esq informed the court about a Notice of Discontinuance filed by his clients. He applied that the court should give effect to the said Notice.

This request wasn’t challenged by the defendant’s counsel and as such was struck out by the judge

The quarrel really favour this guy.

Good nigerians has backed Fubara to victory. Now Wike is quiet

Withdrawing the suit does not end the matter.
PDP is in court trying to ensure that the said 25 do not remain in the house. What Ehie has done is to leave PDP to handle the constitutional matter through the courts. That’s the same position with Fubara.

Who says Wike was demanding for money?. Wike was Governor for 8years and currently minister of FCT with his own seperate budget.

Where you there when Fubura was kneeling before Wike in his office saying Yes Sir to all the agreements?. Fubara shouldn't have accepted anything from Wike if he was so sure he could win without Wike.

The next item is to surrender the red pen to Wike, that will seal the final peace deal.

Regardless of the reason for the impeachment move. It is backed by law.
Sim got away with murder, he set the house on fire and finally had it demolished.
Next time an APC Governor or Tinubu person tries the same scheme to prevent the house from doing their job. same people like you who are singing praises of the Sim guy now will start to cry that democracy is dead in Nigeria.
It's just a matter of time before another Governor will try the same scheme to prevent the house from doing their legally allowed job.
The same people praising the River's Governor now, will all of a sudden remember that the law allows the house to impeach any governor regardless of the reason why.
