The Martins Amaewhule-led faction of Rivers State House of Assembly met on Wednesday at the Assembly Complex, Port Harcourt and passed a vote of confidence on Amaewhule, the speaker, and his deputy, Dumle Maol.
The members also elected Major Jack of Akuku-Toru 1 as the new Majority Leader to replace Edison Ehis that the faction removed four weeks ago.
Similarly the assembly also elected Hon. Franklin Nwabochi, representing Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Constituency 1, as the new Whip of the House to replace Jack, following his new position as leader of the house.
The house also gave First Reading to the Bill seeking to amend the Rivers State Local Government Law, No. 5 of 2018 and other related matters.
The House equally debated on the Rivers State House of Assembly Funds Management (Financial Autonomy) Bill, 2023, which also scaled Second Reading.
The Assembly was split into factions after one faction voted to impeach Governor Sim Fubara on November 6th.
