Chief of Staff to Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, Edison Ehie, has knocked the State House of Assembly for overriding the power of the governor on the passage into law of the repealed House of Assembly Service Commission Bill.
He argued that the provision in the Rivers State House of Assembly Service Commission Law, 2024, seeking to vest that power on the House is in clear contravention of the 1999 Constitution, and therefore, a nullity in the eyes of the law. He explained that the Constitution in Section 5 vests the executive powers of the state in the governor to make appointments to various executive bodies. Thus, the House of Assembly does not have the authority to make such appointments.
