The game just start getting interesting.

The governor should go and present his 2024 budget to the validly recognized Speaker and they give a speedy hearing and approve the budget so that the governor can still perform his constitutional duties while seizing the other 27 or 26 rebel lawmakers in the state.

It seems Fubara is winning the war.

The next is to declare the seats of the 27 law makers vacant after winning at the Supreme Court

In Summary,

1. Nobody should access the Rivers Assembly Complex until proper renovation is done by the Governor.

2. Nobody should use the Police to gain access to the building in whatever guise until the building is conducive enough for sittings.

3. Amaewhule & Dumle (Speaker & Dep-Speaker, let's say of Wike faction) should not interfere or disturb proceedings by Ehie Edison as he discharges his statutory legislative duties of summoning and holding meetings (functions of a Speaker), issuing notices, ing resolutions & bills.

4. If it is found that Ehie Edison has filed a frivolous suit, he will be made to pay N50m as damages.

5. The motion on notice alongside this judgement must be served by Ehie Edison-faction to the Amaewhule & Dumle at most tomorrow in persons or through substituted means.

6. Judgement adjourned until 21/12/2023.

PS: Ex-parte judgements ordinarily expire after 7 days unless re-applied for which will take another 7 days and no more extension whatsoever.

This is politics to Nigerians but to a sane country, we are just behaving like animals. How can a Governor concentrate and deliver his mandate in this kind of heat coming from Wike? SMH...

The 27 are no longer of the House having left the party that brought them

The first thing the authentic speaker should do is to declare their seats vacant

Then good for him, the sooner he gets an injunction from the same high court refraining his colleagues from doing their duties by impeaching him, the better for him, because now without a shadow of a doubt, Pdp APC of Rivers State, now know exactly who to throw their daggers at.

Please read the documents you ed, nowhere is it stated that he was confirmed speaker, they just got an order from a favourable court and judge to enable the governor the budget in the government house, moreover, you need 2/3rd to be speaker, you also need 2/3rd to remove a speaker, and finally you need 2/3rd to form a quorum

For now everyone respects the court's decision whether they are five or 300 is irrelevant until a superior court says otherwise.

What this means is that the Governor has bought sometime against his impeachment, any impeachment done now will be voided by the courts.

Nice moves, I give SIM kudos for this missile.

Not so true, go & read the law properly, when there is chaos in a party’s state structure with factions, elected party are allowed to cross carpet, and it is quite clear in Rivers State that there is a problem.

A judgment from a court is what you a stark illiterate is calling illegal?

Everyone is behind our Governor now. We can't stand to see minister rubbish out homeland because of his selfish interest.

If Wike can take opinion polls now he will find out that 98 percent of Rivers indigenes loathe him with ion.

Wike is gone , he can only win elections when results are written in his house.

Interestingly the acts from Wike is actually illegal. You can't approbate and reprobate at the same time.

The drunkard called wike should rest and accept that his time has gone.

If all the ex governor's are behaving like animals the way he is doing to the present rivers state governor Nigeria will be on fire by now.

This is very untrue.

Division in State structures cannot force defection.... Only division at the National level:

Read the Supreme Court judgement in Ifedayo Abegunde v Ondo House of Assembly.

The governor should stop looking at Wike's face and make sure that the seats of the 27 that decamped is made vacant so that EYENECK can conduct another elections that will see his men coming in. Politics is really a dirty game
