Hon. Edison Ehie, the factional Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly and Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s loyalist, has reportedly resigned his position as the Speaker and member of the Assembly representing Ahaoda East Constituency 2.
The Informant247 gathered that Ehie, in his letter of resignation dated December 29, 2023, and addressed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), did not state the reason for his resignation while thanking his colleagues in the Assembly for the excellent working relationship and his constituency for supporting him throughout his stay in the Assembly.
Ehie was the majority leader of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly until the House suspended him following the failed impeachment process initiated against Governor Similanayi Fubara.
Soon after his suspension, Ehie declared himself as the factional speaker of the Assembly with four members on his side.
