Rivers Assembly Derecognises Omehia as ex-gov, Demands Refund

The crisis rocking the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party took a new twist on Thursday as the State House of Assembly derecognised Sir Celestine Omehia as a former governor of the state.

The de-recognition follows a resolution at Thursday plenary supported by all 21 lawmakers.

Also, the House asked Omehia to within seven days refund N96.5 million he received as benefits as a former governor.

Omehia is a staunch supporter of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
