The Rivers State House of Assembly has given Governor Sim Fubara 48 hours to present the 2025 budget to the lawmakers.

The lawmakers said this during plenary in Port Harcourt on Monday.

OSUN DEFENDER reports that the Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Federal Government to stop financial allocation to Rivers State until Fubara retraces his steps and presents the budget to the pro-Wike lawmakers, led by Martins Amaewhule.

The court also nullified the local government election conducted last year by Fubara.

The apex court judgment put the balance of power in the hands of Wike and the lawmakers in the state’s political crisis, which started in October 2023.
