Again, Fubara’s Budget Presentation Stalled as Pro-Wike Lawmakers Adjourn Plenary
Following a fresh effort by the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to present the 2025 budget in line with Supreme Court directives, the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule, has adjourned its plenary indefinitely.
The decision was taken during a plenary session held at the assembly quarters in Port-Harcourt on Friday.
The move comes just 24 hours after Fubara wrote to the Assembly, requesting a new date for the presentation of the 2025 appropriation bill.
It would be recalled that, in a personally signed letter dated March 13, Fubara proposed Wednesday or any other convenient date in March for the budget presentation.
Fubara said the letter was the second notice of budget presentation sent to the lawmakers.
The governor stated that his actions comply with the Supreme Court judgment of February 28, which ordered the presentation of the budget to the Assembly.
