Rivers Crisis: I Won’t Represent 2024 Budget, Fubara Vows

Rivers State governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has vowed not to represent the 2024 Appropriation Bill To the Hon. Martins Amaewhule-led House of Assembly.

He said the seats of Amaewhule and 24 others were declared vacant on December 13, 2023, after they dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Fubara spoke yesterday when he received on a solidarity visit, the leadership structure, critical stakeholders, opinion leaders, women and youths of Etche and Omuma local government areas led by Ogbakor Etche, the apex socio-cultural organisation of Etche ethnic nationality at Government House, Port Harcourt.

The governor stated that his administration has started preparing the 2025 appropriation bill for presentation to the House of Assembly.

He further stated that the Amaewhule-led lawmakers were truly gone and would eventually return home because they desired it to be so when they defected from the PDP to the APC voluntarily.
Fubara dismissed their recent ranting as noise-making from delusional people and urged the 25 former lawmakers to wake up and see the ship of governance in the state sailing on smoothly.

The governor also said that his administration has started preparing details of the 2025 Appropriation Bill, prioritising education, healthcare and agriculture.
