…Issue 7-day ultimatum
The Rivers State House of Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule has given Governor Siminalayi Fubara a seven-day ultimatum to re-present the 2024 budget to the House.
The directive came after the first sitting of the pro-Wike Assembly on Monday after some months.
Meanwhile, the Victor Oko-Jumbo-led House of Assembly is also holding a similar sitting.
Recall that Fubara had earlier presented the budget to the Pro-Fubara House when his current Chief of Staff Edison Ehie was the Speaker.
Ehie and the other lawmakers loyal to Governor Fubara assented to the budget estimates, and the governor signed the bill into law.
