This development follows President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s announcement on Wednesday lifting the emergency rule and restoring democratic governance in Rivers State. The president also reinstated Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and the suspended members of the Assembly.
Lawmakers are expected to use Thursday’s session to chart the legislative direction of the Assembly as governance resumes. The plenary is also anticipated to signal the lawmakers’ stance on reconciliation efforts after months of political crisis that necessitated federal intervention.
