In order to remove lopsidedness and ensure equity in the sharing of offices, the Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Monday Bubou-Obolo, has stepped aside to pave the way for the emergence of a new Speaker.
The development followed the inauguration of Governor Douye Diri, who is from the same Bayelsa Central Senatorial District as Bubou-Obolo.
Members, therefore, elected the Deputy Speaker, Abraham Ngobere, as the new Speaker of the State Assembly.
Abraham Ngobere, the new Speaker, is from another Senatorial District in Bayelsa. This is to ensure that principal political offices are distributed across board in the State so that no area will feel maginalised.
