The Rivers state government has commenced the demolition of
the house of assembly complex in Port Harcourt.
There are reports that the demolition is being carried out
for renovation purposes amid insinuations that it also has political
connotations.
A section of the complex was gutted by fire on October 29 as
the plot to impeach Siminalayi Fubara as governor of Rivers intensified.
On Tuesday, the Rivers state high court sitting in Port
Harcourt confirmed Edison Ehie, an ally of Fubara, as authentic speaker of the
state house of assembly.
The demolition also arrives on the heels of the defection of
27 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers to the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
Fubara and Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory
(FCT), have been embroiled in a rift over control of the political structure in
Rivers.
