Falana stated this in an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
The senior lawyer said the legislature is independent of the executive arm of the government.
He said, “I would like to assume that the governor issued that executive order before the intervention of the High Court in Rivers State.
“The house is independent of the executive. So, the governor cannot tell the house where to sit,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Presidency said President Bola Tinubu will not take side between Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara over the ongoing political crisis rocking Rivers State.
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Tinubu, Ajuri Ngelale disclosed this during an interview on TVC.
Ngelale said that anyone with the belief that President Tinubu would take their side in the political crisis would be disappointed.
According to him, President Tinubu won’t allow any attempt to frustrate the Rivers’ government.
“So, I think there’s a need for all stakeholders to understand that Mr President won’t take sides.”
