Rivers State House of Assembly has officially extended the deadline for the summons of the Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, Justice Adolphus Enebeli (retd.), along with several other officials, by 72 hours. The decision comes in the wake of their failure to appear before the assembly on Friday, prompting lawmakers to reschedule the session for Monday, March 10, 2025.
The House of Assembly’s decision underscores the seriousness with which they view the issue of non-compliance among key electoral officials. Many see this extension of 72 hours as a final opportunity for the accused officials to clarify their positions and present necessary explanations. According to insiders familiar with the internal workings of the assembly, the move is not only about procedural compliance but also a broader signal that accountability remains paramount in the eyes of state lawmakers.
