Mr Ehie, who thwarted the impeachment of governor Fubara last year will now replace Honourable Chidi Amadi, a kinsman to the troublesome Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
The former Speaker had on Sunday night resigned his position as both Speaker and member representing Ahoada-East Constituency 2 in the Rivers State House of Assembly.
NewsBand reported that President Bola Tinubu brokered peace between governor Sim Fubara and his predecessor, Barrister Nysom Wike who have been at war with each other over who controls the party’s structure in the State.
Tinubu in the 8-point resolution directed that Martins Chike Amaewhule be recognised as the Speaker of the House while the actions taken by Edison such as budget presentation should be annulled
