The Rivers State House of Assembly is set to resume plenary sitting today, earlier than its initially scheduled return date of January 26.
Reports indicate that the unexpected resumption in rivers is coming amid the ongoing political tension between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
