Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Rivers State House of Assembly has accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara of constituting illegality regarding his recent appointments.<\/p>\n

The Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, levelled the accusation against the governor during plenary on Monday at the Assembly Quarters in Port Harcourt, the state capital.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers converged for an unscheduled plenary following their last sitting, during which they overrode the governor and enacted four laws.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Majority Leader of the House, Major Jack, drew the attention of the Speaker to the recent appointments by the governor.<\/p>\n

The appointments are to head three parastatals of government, namely the Local Government Service Commission, Bureau of Public Procurement and New City Development Authority.<\/p>\n

The Speaker explained that the mode of appointment was provided for in the law, and there\u2019s no provision for acting chairmen.<\/p>\n

The House entered a debate, and some of the lawmakers raised questions about the legal existence of the New City Development Authority.<\/p>\n

The Speaker accused the governor of tyranny even as the House resolved to write a letter warning against his actions.<\/p>\n

The new developments in the assembly have continued to fuel speculation about whether or not the House would resume its aborted impeachment proceedings against the governor.<\/p>\n

Recall that barely 24 hours ago, the Fubara announced a fresh appointment, including the former factional Speaker of the House of Assembly, Edison Ehie, as his chief of staff.<\/p>\n
