Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has again written to the State House of Assembly led by Wike’s ally, Speaker Martin Amaewhule, informing the lawmakers of his intention to re-present the 2025 Appropriation Bill to the House for consideration and approval.
The governor, in a letter dated March 13 and addressed to the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, said he intends to prevent the budget on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, or any other day within March that the House may deem fit.
He said the decision to re-present the 2025 budget is in compliance with the Supreme Court judgment and in response to the lawmakers’ request for him to re-present the budget.
He recalled the bitter experience of visiting the Assembly Quarters with his entourage, where the lawmakers were temporarily sitting to present the budget, but he was denied access to the complex.
