Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly members were on Tuesday denied access to the Government House complex, where they have been holding plenary sessions due to the ongoing renovation of the main Assembly Chambers.
Security operatives at the entrance reportedly prevented the lawmakers, including the Speaker, from entering the venue, forcing them to suspend the day’s proceedings.
The incident has triggered intense speculation across the state, with many questioning whether it signals a rift between the Governor and the House leadership or stems from other political interests.
As of the time of this report, no official explanation has been given by either the Government House or the Assembly.
Political observers are closely monitoring the situation as more details emerge.
