On air personality, Rufai Oseni has reacted to the demolition of the Rivers State House of Assembly by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

His reaction comes after 10 bulldozers drove into the premises of the Assembly complex and started demolition the structure on Wednesday, December 13.

The reports added that the factional Speaker, Edison Ehie, led other lawmakers loyal to the state governor, to hold a sitting early on Wednesday before the demolition began.

It was gathered that Ehie, during the session, said the complex was due for repairs following the explosion that rocked the building on October 30, 2023, saying the governor would provide an alternative place for them to sit in the meantime.

Rufai on X (formerly called Twitter) wrote: “Wike and Fubara watch. It’s now 2-2.”

The crisis rocking the Rivers State House of Assembly took a new turn on Monday with 27 members defecting from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in the state to the All Progressives Congress, PUNCH Online reports.

The lawmakers cited division within the PDP as the primary reason for their defection to the APC.

The affected lawmakers are said to be the ones loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

However, the state APC chapter has said it is open to receiving more defectors from the PDP in the state, describing the defection of the 27 members of the State House of Assembly as a welcome development.
