Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State has issued an executive directive to relocate the official proceedings of the Rivers State House of Assembly from its traditional assembly complex to the more centrally located Rivers State Government House.
This decision, announced on Friday in a press statement, has sparked heated debates and drawn mixed reactions from political stakeholders and citizens alike.
Citing the need for enhanced security measures and logistical convenience, Governor Fubara defended the decision, emphasizing that it would streamline legislative processes and facilitate better coordination between the executive and legislative arms of the state government.
“This decision is not arbitrary but driven by a sincere commitment to efficiency and safety,” Governor Fubara asserted during the press briefing. “We cannot afford to compromise the safety of our lawmakers and disrupt the legislative agenda due to security concerns.”
