Rivers crisis: Fubara releases Executive Order 001, relocates Assembly sitting to Government House

Governor Siminalayi Fubara released Executive Order 001 on Friday, adding a fresh dimension to the political crisis roiling Rivers State. The order relocates the House of Assembly to the Auditorium, located in the Admin Block of the Government House, Port Harcourt.

According to ZINGTIE, the relocation was necessary due to the October 29, 2023, fire that destroyed the House of Assembly’s Hallowed Chamber. This was stated in the gazette dated December 14, 2023.

The governor declared that the chamber’s current condition was dangerous and endangered the lives of the House of Assembly members’ personnel.

The damaged and burned-out House of Assembly chambers needed immediate renovations, restorations, and reconstruction, he declared.

He went on to say that it was reasonable to make sure the House of Assembly’s operations were not hampered or thwarted.

He said: “Now, therefore, I, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, this 30th day of October 2023, pursuant to the powers vested in me under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria hereby issue, order and direct that all proceedings and business of the Rivers State House of Assembly shall temporarily take place at the auditorium, Admin Block, Government House, Port Harcourt, until the repairs, renovation and reconstruction of the chambers of Rivers State House of Assembly.”
