Our reporter/ Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara was on Wednesday locked out of the House of Assembly Quarters by security operatives.
The security personnel at the quarters locked the gates when the governor’s convoy arrived.
According to them, there was no official communication between the governor and the Assembly.
The governor, however, said he communicated his coming to Speaker Martins Amaewhule through a letter and tried to call him on the phone since Tuesday.
Also, the Rivers State Government shared a letter notifying the House of the governor’s visit.
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.
But the Assembly had asked the governor to channel his invitation properly.
