Rivers Assembly Resumes Sitting After Emergency Rule Lifted by Tinubu
The Rivers State House Assembly is set to resume legislative sitting following the announcement by President Tinubu of the cessation of the state of emergency. Speaker Martin Amaewhule led the lawmakers back to the assembly complex in Port Harcourt.
This development comes after the 27 Rivers lawmakers arrived in the state, ending the standoff that had disrupted governance. The emergency rule, imposed on March 18, was lifted to reinstate Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The move aims to prevent anarchy and restore democratic governance in the state, which is crucial given Rivers' significance as a hub for Nigeria's crude oil export. The lifting of the emergency rule resolves the constitutional crisis that had paralyzed governance in the state.
