The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Governor Siminialayi Fubara to resubmit the 2024 Appropriation Bill.
The Assembly resumed its session on Monday, July 8, following a Court of Appeal judgment, convening at the Assembly quarters along Aba Road, Port Harcourt.
In a related development, lawmakers led by Victor Oko-Jumbo also held a plenary session at their chamber in Government House, Port Harcourt.
Previously, the 2024 Budget was passed by a faction led by former Speaker Edison Ehie, who later resigned and was appointed Chief of Staff to the governor. The bill, signed immediately by the governor, has since been operational in the state.
Further details will be provided as they emerge.
