Dr Edison Ehie, the factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, has resigned both as speaker and member of the House.

The resignation letter of Ehie, the factional Speaker loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, was effective from December 29, 2023 as contained in a letter signed by him.

The letter, a copy of which was obtained by Persecondnews, was addressed to the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

Persecondnews quotes from the letter as follows:”This is to inform you of my voluntary resignation as Speaker and member of the 10th River State House of Assembly representing Ahoada- East Constituency II with effect from the date of this letter (29th, December 2023).

“I wish to deeply appreciate my colleagues and the people of my Constituency for the rare opportunity to serve and hope to continue to give my utmost best in service to River State subsequently.

“Kindly accept the assurance es of my highest esteem at all times.”

The speaker’s resignation may be a fall-out from the peace pact brokered by President Bola Tinubu following his intervention in the political crisis that engulfed the state.

Both parties to the crisis led by FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike and Gov. Siminalayi Fubara signed the resolutions.
