Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, have barred Governor Siminalayi Fubara from presenting the 2025 budget. The lawmakers locked the gates of the assembly complex, preventing the governor's entry.
The reason behind this move is still unclear, but sources suggest that the governor has yet to finalize the implementation of pending agreements between the two opposing groups. This development has created a tense atmosphere, with security personnel standing guard at the assembly complex.
This incident is the latest in a series of conflicts between Governor Fubara and the pro-Wike lawmakers. Recall that a Rivers State High Court recently barred Governor Fubara from re-presenting the 2024 budget to the State House of Assembly.
