Rivers Lawmakers Gives Reason Fubara Was Locked Out of of Assembly Complex The Round Table announces that the Governor Fubara arrived at the Assembly complex early in the morning, intending to cling with the Supreme Court’s governing by re-presenting the 2025 budget before a properly constituted House of Assembly.
However, upon arrival, he met a locked gate, effectively shutting him out of the premises.
The development chases the recent Supreme Court judgment, which governed that only the full Assembly, as constituted, has the authority to consider the state budget—a verdict that appeared to invalidate Fubara’s initiatory budget presentation to a faction of lawmakers loyal to him.
Assembly Staff Deny Knowledge Of Governor’s Visit
Despite Fubara’s allege that he had made several attempts to reach Speaker Martins Amaewhule and other lawmakers, Assembly staff rejected more or less formal communication regarding his visit.
This also trended:
One staff member, speaking anonymously with Vanguard, said, “I am not aware that the Governor was scheduled to be at the Assembly today (Wednesday). If such information subsisted, the Rt. Hon. Speaker would have told us. As of now, we have no knowledge of his visit.”
The Speaker of the Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, and the 27 lawmakers aligned with Wike have abide silent on their decision to reject the governor access.
The ongoing power struggle between Governor Fubara and the pro-Wike lawmakers has thrown governance in Rivers State into further uncertainty.
