Port Harcourt, Rivers state – The federal high court, Abuja, has voided and set aside the presentation by Governor Siminalayi Fubara and passage of the Rivers 2024 budget by a group of four-member legislators in the state.
As reported by Guardian newspaper, the court in a judgement delivered on Monday, January 22, by Justice James Omotoso ordered Governor Fubara to represent the budget to the legally constituted house of assembly under Speaker Martin Amaewhule because what he did earlier was ‘illegal’.
Justice Omotosho held that everything done by the four lawmakers when Governor Fubara submitted the N800 billion budget, was null and void, Channels Television noted.
