Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, was on Wednesday prevented from accessing the official quarters of the state House of Assembly along Aba Road, Port Harcourt, where lawmakers aligned with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, have been holding their sessions.
The governor, who arrived at the location with key government officials, including the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo, and his Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, was met with a locked gate, barring his entry.
Addressing journalists at the scene, Fubara expressed frustration over his inability to reach Speaker Martin Amaewhule, stating that multiple calls and a formal letter requesting a meeting had gone unanswered.
“Before coming here, I made several attempts to speak with the Speaker and even sent a letter inviting him for discussions.
Unfortunately, the gate is locked, and there are no indications that any proceedings will take place today,” he said.
The governor reaffirmed his commitment to acting in the best interests of the people and carrying out his constitutional responsibilities despite the setback.
“Our actions remain guided by the interests of our people, which is the most important thing. I hope to hear from them soon,” he added.
Following his remarks, Fubara and his delegation departed the premises.
