Council Chairman In Rivers State Resumes Duty Under A Mango Tree

The Chairman of Emohua local government area of Rives State, Dr. Chidi Lloyd has resumed duty under a mango tree in the council Secretariat

Lloyd addressed council workers and did his official duties under a tree within the premises on the ground that the office of the chairman is dirty, unkept and uninhabitable.

He further said again that with the nature of the council secretariat, he is ashamed of coming from Emohua Local Government Area.

Hon. Lloyd, a former leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly was at the centre of the July 9, 2013, crisis which erupted in the state House of Assembly as some members loyal to Wike and the PDP wanted to impeach the then Speaker, Rt. Hon. Otelemaba Amachree, who was loyal to then Governor Chibuike Amaechi.

The attempt led to a free-for-all fight that resulted in serious bodily harm on some members, especially Michael Chindah, in effort to take control of the mace.
