Intrigues continue to trail the political crisis in Rivers State as the state House of Assembly Complex was on Wednesday demolished.
This was as Governor Siminalayi Fubara presented the N800bn Budget estimates 2024 to the Edison Ehie-led group at the Government House the same moment the demolition was carried out.
Ehie was recognised by the court as the Speaker of the House while the court restrained Martins Amaewhule from parading himself as the speaker.
The presentation of the budget was held at a hall in the Government House, apparently, due to the “renovation” work at the state assembly complex which started Wednesday morning.
The demolition of the complex was carried out by the state government.
Bulldozers arrived at the Complex around 6am on Wednesday and commenced the demolition exercise about two months after fire gutted the complex.
Recall that twenty-seven members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, on Monday, had defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as reported by INTEGRITY NEWS.
The 27 members were said to be loyal to Amaewhule, who is an ally of Nyesom Wike, a former governor of the state till May 29, 2023.
END.
