The Herald recalls that on December 29, 2023, Ehie resigned as a member representing Ahoada East in the Rivers State House of Assembly and also the speaker of a group of lawmakers loyal to Fubara.
His resignation followed President Bola Tinubu’s intervention in the political crisis that plagued the state due to a supremacy battle between Fubara and his erstwhile godfather and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
