With President Bola Tinubu not intervening, the Rivers State political crisis worsened on Wednesday as the State Government began the demolition of the State House of Assembly building on Moscow Road, Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, for reconstruction.
This comes few weeks after the State Assembly Complex was burned down by unknown political thugs.
It should be recalled that the legislative arm of the state has been involved in a serious crisis following the move by some lawmakers, said to be loyal to Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
As early as 5 a.m. on Wednesday, about10 bulldozers, excavators, and other heavy-duty machines were brought to the assembly complex.
The demolition commenced at about 7:30 a.m. As of the time of this report, it is still ongoing.
