The letter reads: “This is to formally notify you of my voluntary resignation as Speaker and Member of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly representing Ahoada East Constituency II with effect from the date of this letter.

“I wish to appreciate my colleagues and the people of my constituency for the rare opportunity to serve and hope to continue to give my utmost best in service to Rivers State subsequently,” the letter read.

Although the lawmaker did not give any reason for his resignation, it may not be unconnected with the resolution reached during the meeting called by President Bola Tinubu to find a lasting solution to the political crisis in Rivers State.

Among the resolution reached and signed by both parties was the reinstatement of the former speaker of the house which means the current speaker has to relinquish his position.
