A Former Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government, Samuel Nwanosike has alleged that the former Speaker representing the Pro Fubara Lawmakers, Edison Ehie withdrew from his position after the judge who issued an interim injunction against Martin’s Amaewhule revealed to the National Judicial Council (NJC) that Ehie had deceived him to make him the speaker.
He stated that consequently, Ehie paid a fine of 5 million naira and resigned, subsequently becoming the governor’s Chief of Staff. He highlighted that after this chain of events, the governor engaged with Martins Amaewhule’s Assembly, submitting a list of commissioners and passing bills through them. He explained that this cooperation continued smoothly with the governor involving the Assembly in various functions and maintaining a working relationship. He however noted that the governor suddenly decided to form his own Assembly.
He said in an interview with TVC, ”Edison Ehie withdrew as speaker when the man who gave him an interim injunction was summoned by the NJ‘. The Judge told the NJC that Edison Ehie deceived him to make him the speaker. And that he has paid a fine of 5 million naira to him after being misinformed to have given that interim injunction. Edison Ehie withdrew and today he’s the Chief of staff to the governor. After that the governor started dealing with Martins Amaewhule assembly. He sent list of Commissioners to them and bills were passed.
And they were continuing in their relationship, he was inviting them for functions and they were moving forward. All of a sudden, the governor woke up one morning and said he wants to have his own assembly. He goes ahead to pass what they call a decree that Assembly should come and sit in government house. And that Oko Jumbo has emerged speaker. The funny thing is that when Edison was speaker, he had three people with him. And now Edison is no longer a member of of the Assembly and Oko Jumbo now has two other person with him. The question is two members a 1/3 of the 31 members?”..…….See More
