Martin Amaewhule-led factional Rivers lawmakers order Fubara to re-present 2024 Budget
Martin Amaewhule-led factional Rivers State House of Assembly has issued a 7-day ultimatum to Governor Siminalayi Fubara to re-present the 2024 budget.
The Informant247 gathered that the order was given at the first sitting of the pro-Wike assembly after the Appeal Court ruled in their favour.
Meanwhile, the other House, led by Victor Oko-Jumbo, also holds a parallel sitting where a commissioner designate is being screened.
It would be recalled that Governor Fubara had earlier presented the budget to the assembly loyal to him when his current Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, presided as the Speaker.
Ehie and the other pro-Fubara lawmakers passed the budget estimates, and the governor signed the bill into law.
This is the second time the Amaehwule-led Assembly would direct Fubara to represent the budget.
An appeal court in Abuja last week overruled the Port Harcourt High Court, which barred the Amaehwule-led Assembly from parading themselves as members of the Assembly.
