Tinubu's Advisory Role and Controversial Reinstatements Fuel Ongoing Power Struggle in Rivers State Assembly
- Tinubu's intervention in Rivers crisis is advisory, not constitutional per Femi Falana & Tunde Fashola
- Reinstatement of 27 pro-Wike lawmakers by Presidency is unconstitutional per Falana
- Lawmakers who defected from PDP to APC have lost their seats legally
- Actions taken by Speaker recognized by court, including declaring seats of 27 vacant, remain valid
- Until vacancies are filled, House can conduct business except impeach governor which requires 2/3 majority
