The ongoing crisis within the Rivers State House of Assembly has escalated dramatically with the resignation of the factional speaker aligned with Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Rt. Hon. (Barr.) Ehie Ogerenye Edison.
Edison not only stepped down from his position as speaker but also resigned as a member of the Assembly.
Ehie formally communicated his decision through a letter addressed to the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In the letter, he explicitly stated:
“This is to formally notify you of my voluntary resignation as Speaker and Member of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly representing Ahoada – East Constituency II with effect from the date of this letter.
“I wish to deeply appreciate my colleagues and the people of my Constituency for the rare opportunity to serve and hope to continue to give my utmost best in service to Rivers State subsequently.
“Kindly accept the assurances of my highest esteem at all times.”
