The House of Representatives concluded its plenary session on Wednesday without addressing President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
Despite widespread anticipation that the emergency rule would be a key topic of discussion, lawmakers refrained from raising the issue during the session.
Reports indicate that tensions flared among members of the Green Chamber before the plenary, with a heated exchange erupting between Rivers State representatives Blessing Amadi and Marie Ebikake. A video of the confrontation, shared by AIT News, captured the intense disagreement.
While the declaration of emergency rule in Rivers State remained unaddressed, the House proceeded with its agenda, resolving to investigate the Federal Government’s conditional cash transfer program.
The silence from lawmakers on the controversial decision has sparked further debate, leaving many Nigerians questioning the legislative stance on the unfolding political crisis in Rivers State.
