Martins Amaewhule is the current speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly as it stands, because of a judgment of the Abuja Federal High Court (FHC/ABJ/CS/1613/2023) headed by the honorable Justice Omotosho. The judgment recognizes Amaewhule as the speaker, and it has not been set aside by a higher court. The Judge directed the Governor to represent the state budget to the Amaewhule led house of Assembly. This is the status quo until a higher court set aside this ruling.
