The recognition of Rt. Hon. Amaewhule follows the recent resignation of Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie from his position as Speaker and member of the Rivers State House of Assembly. This pivotal decision automatically triggers a series of legal implications, particularly with regard to the ongoing case between Rt. Hon. Ehie and Rt. Hon. Amaewhule.

With Rt. Hon. Ehie's resignation, legal experts suggest that the Rivers State High Court may strike out the case brought against Rt. Hon. Amaewhule, given the change in circumstances. This sets the stage for the formal pronouncement of Rt. Hon. Amaewhule as the legitimate and recognized Speaker of the House.

The Rivers State Banquet held on Monday not only marked the celebration of the New Year but also served as a platform for the official acknowledgment of the new leadership in the State House of Assembly. The inclusion of this declaration in the official program underscores the government's commitment to transparency and adherence to due process.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the resignation of Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie brings clarity to the leadership structure in the Rivers State House of Assembly. The government's formal recognition of Rt. Hon. Amaewhule is likely to have a lasting impact on the dynamics within the Assembly, paving the way for a renewed focus on legislative activities in the State.
