Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has reacted to the emergence of a new Speaker of the State House of Assembly.

Ehie was the former majority leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Ehie, who is believed to be a strong supporter of Governor Similanayi Fubara, was said to have frustrated the initial attempt to initiate impeachment proceedings against the governor.

Reacting to the emergence of Ehie as the new Speaker of the House, Governor Fubara shared a picture of the Speaker on his account on the X platform and wrote; “Congratulations Mr. Speaker.”
