BREAKING: Tension as pro-Wike lawmakers lockout Gov Fubara from Rivers Assembly complex
A drama ensued at the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex today when Governor Siminalayi Fubara arrived at the quarters but the entrance gate locked.
Our correspondents observed that the security personnel at the complex locked the gates when the governor’s convoy arrived at the complex, reports Channels TV.
The action of the security personnel was hinged on the position that there was no official communication between the governor and the Assembly.
However, Fubara said he communicated his coming to Speaker Martins Amaewhule through a letter and tried to call him on the phone since yesterday.
Fubara had said he would fully implement the February 28, 2025 judgment of the apex court and directed the Rivers State Independent Electoral Electoral Commission (RSIEC) to come up with modalities for the fresh election.
The electoral commission fixed August 9, 2025, to conduct a fresh local government poll in the state.
Furthermore, the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo, in a letter dated March 7, 2025, sought a meeting with the lawmakers for March 10, 2025, to discuss the re-presentation of the 2025 budget and a peace talk.
