There appears to be an end to the political crisis rocking Rivers State as the member representing Ahoada East Constituency II at the Rivers State House of Assembly, Edison Ehie, has withdrawn his contempt proceedings suit against 25 of the 27 defected lawmakers.

Ehie, a close ally of the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, had declared the seats of 27 lawmakers vacant over their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress.

Ehie filed contempt proceedings at the Rivers state high court in Port Harcourt against 25 of them in which he challenged their sittings and legislative activities. (APC).

Ehie later resigned his position in the House of Assembly following the peace deal reached between Governor Fubara and Wike.

However in the latest development Ehie has withdrawn his suit against the 25 lawmakers.

When the matter came up for hearing of applications pending before the court today, counsel to the Claimant, Mac-Barango informed the court about a Notice of Discontinuance filed by his clients. He applied that the court should give effect to the said Notice.
