The Rivers State House of Assembly has summoned the Chairman of the State Independent Electoral Commission, Justice Adolphus Enebeli (retd), to appear before it within 48 hours over the conduct of the 2024 local government election.

The move is part of the resolutions of the legislature during plenary presided over by its Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, on Wednesday.

The parliament also threatened to issue a warrant for the arrest of the RSIEC Chairman if he fails to appear before the House at the expiration of the ultimatum.

The House also resolved to write Governor Siminalayi Fubara to forward the names of all his commissioners that were not screened by the Amaewhule-led Assembly.

Recall that the Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favour of the pro-Wike lawmakers in the house of assembly directing the governor Fubara to re-present the 2025 budget before the Martin Amaewhule-led Assembly.

The apex court also invalidated the local government elections conducted by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) in 2024.
