The Rivers State House of Assembly has abruptly postponed its scheduled sitting amid strong indications of a move by some lawmakers to remove the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule.
Sources within the assembly revealed that a faction of legislators has grown dissatisfied with the continued allegiance of the leadership to former Governor Nyesom Wike, amid the ongoing political feud with Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The alleged plot signals a potential shift in loyalty among lawmakers previously considered loyal to the Wike political camp.
Governor Fubara has remained publicly detached from the development, while political observers note that the crisis reflects deeper realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Assembly is yet to announce a new date for resumption of plenary.
