Wike's Hope Dashed as His House of Assembly Speaker, 20 PDP Lawmakers loose their Seats to APC in Rivers State

Over here in Port Harcourt, the heat is turned on Gov Nyesom Wike as his election hope, the House of Assembly Speaker just received a deadly blow. Few days after nullifying the election of the state governor, Nyesom Wike, the Rivers State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja today nullified the election of the state assembly speaker, Owaji Ibami (pictured above) and 20 PDP state lawmakers. With this new development, the state Assembly has been rendered ineffective due to the reduction in the number of lawmakers. 32 lawmakers make up the state Assembly. With the nullification of 21 lawmakers, only 12 of them appear to be eligible and this is too small for the house to run effectively.
