BREAKING: Rivers: Amaewhule-led Assembly Orders Fubara to Re-present 2024 Budget

Martin Amaewhule led-Rivers State House of Assembly has issued a 7-day ultimatum to Governor Siminalayi Fubara to re-present the 2024 budget to the House.

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

According to reports, 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.
