The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, failed to resume plenary on Thursday, a week after adjourning its last sitting. The sitting was adjourned until January 15, 2026. However, as of noon on Thursday, January 15, 2026, our correspondent who visited the assembly observed that there was no sign that the House, which presently holds sittings at the conference hall of its official legislative quarters along Aba Road, would reconvene. Efforts to reach the House Chairman on Information, Petitions, and Complaints, Eneme George, for clarification proved unsuccessful. He neither answered calls nor responded to messages sent to his phone as of the time of filing this report.
