JUST IN: Pro-Wike assembly gives Fubara ultimatum to resubmit 2024 budget

The sittings follow the bombing of the State House of Assembly Complex located along Moscow Road, Port Harcourt in October 2023.


Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has been issued a 7-day ultimatum by the State House of Assembly, under the leadership of Speaker Martin Amaewhule.

The ultimatum came after the first sitting of the pro-Wike House on Monday.

The other House led by Victor Oko-Jumbo is also holding a parallel sitting.

Fubara had earlier presented the budget to the House 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.

He stated that it is aimed at promoting economic development, inclusive growth, and addressing socio-economic inequality in the state.
