Rivers Assembly Declares Pro-Fubara Lawmakers’ Seats Vacant by InfoGuru118: 2:19pm On Oct 15
The Rivers State House of Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule has declared the seats of Edison Ehie, the Chief of Staff to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and three other pro-Fubara lawmakers vacant following their absence from sittings for 152 days, News360 Nigeria reports.

Making this known during plenary today, Speaker Martin Amaewhule pointed out that Ehie did not properly write to inform the house of his new office, and as such his seat has been declared vacant.

Regarding Victor Oko-Jumbo and the two others, the House held three separate votes to declare their seats vacant for absenteeism from sitting for 152 days consecutively without notification or permission, in violation of the 1999 constitution.

The Assembly further agreed to write to INEC to conduct elections to replace the now vacant seats within 90 days to provide representation for their people.

Also, the house agreed to give Governor Fubara another opportunity to present the 2024 Appropriations Bill following the nullification by the Appeal Court of the N800bn bill, which he had presented to a parallel House led by Edison Ehie.

This Amaewhule guy should be arrested and locked away in a place far from Rivers state. He is not our speaker and has lost his seat a long time ago. As far as we're concerned, he is not a lawmaker anymore.

These fools now making their own laws.
The same set of fools that will e supporting this illegal act are the same fools that will be here crying and wailing that democracy is in danger when the same thing happens under an APC govt or govt that they don't like.
These people don't care about what is right or wrong, they only care about who is doing what.

Growing up I was trained to respect my elders
But when I see how the so called Elders have no shame, lie, steal and deceive.

The same elders will come and tell you to respect them??

See grown elders fighting each other
Disobeying court orders.
Then you ask yourself
If you use violence to cause anarchy in your state. Just so you get in power
Then do you really care about your state??

If you say you are a Leader
You want to serve the people
And people say NO
Instead of you to allow another person serve
You say you will put fire in the state.

How can you put fire into a state you said you want to serve??

These old men keep giving me a reason why till date I don't respect elders just because they are older than me.

I respect elders that are wiser than me

I laugh whenever I see people online calling Gov. Sim a smart man. For real, Dude is not smart at all and he remains a Baby Politician as far as Nigeria Democracy is consign.

With all these problems here and there, even if he eventually finished his term as a Gov., he won't have much achievement to his name like his predecessor.

Any Gov. who doesn't have the support of the State Assembly don't always end well administrative wise.

Even if he wants to keep fighting Wike, he should look for a way to settle with the Members of the Assembly.

As the matter be so, Amaewhule led Assembly is the recognized House in Rivers State according to the law of the land.
