In a surprising twist, Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has appointed Honorable Edison Ehie as the new Chief of Staff at the Rivers State Government House.
NN News Media reports that the official announcement, made by Tonye Barcanista on his X page, marks the transition of the immediate past Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie, to a key position in the state’s administration.
Recall that, Ehie recently stepped down from his role as Speaker and resigned as a member of the State House of Assembly representing Ahoada-East Constituency II. This significant decision, communicated through a heartfelt letter to INEC National Chairman Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has stirred speculation among political observers, hinting at underlying dynamics in play.
Ehie expressed gratitude to his colleagues and constituents in the letter, vowing to continue serving Rivers State with unwavering dedication. The unexpected development has sent ripples through the political sphere, with Governor Fubara’s choice sparking interest and discussions.
Notably, the political landscape further shifted with Tinubu’s 8-point resolution, which recognized Martins Chike Amaewhule as the new Speaker of the House. The directive included the annulment of actions taken by Edison, such as the budget presentation, adding a layer of intrigue to the unfolding political drama in Rivers State.
As citizens and political enthusiasts eagerly await the next chapter in this power play, the appointment of Hon. Edison Ehie as Chief of Staff adds a dynamic dimension to the leadership dynamics at the Rivers State Government House. Congratulations to Hon. Edison Ehie on this new role!
