Few days after nullifying the election of the state
governor, Nyesom Wike, the Rivers State Election Petition Tribunal
sitting in Abuja today nullified the election of the state assembly
speaker, Owaji Ibami (pictured above) and 20 PDP state lawmakers. With this new
development, the state Assembly has been rendered ineffective due to the
reduction in the number of lawmakers. 32 lawmakers make up the state
Assembly. With the nullification of 21 lawmakers, only 12 of them appear
to be eligible and this is too small for the house to run effectively.
