Rivers State Government has begun the demolition of the State House of Assembly Complex on Moscow Road, Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, or reconstruction.
This was as Governor Siminalayi Fubara presented the 2024 budget estimates to the Edison Ehie-led group at the Government House the same moment the demolition was carried out.
The Ehie group was recognised by the court as the Speaker of the House.
The presentation of the budget was held at a hall in the Government House, apparently, due to the “renovation” work at the state assembly complex which started Wednesday morning.
Bulldozers arrived at the Complex around 6am on Wednesday and commenced the demolition exercise about two months after fire gutted the complex.
