The Federal High Court, Abuja has invalidated the presentation and passage of Rivers State 2024 Budget by  four-member legislature in the state, asking that the Governor; Sim Fubara re-present the the house as constituted under Speaker Martin Amaewhule.

The Judge, James Omotoso quashed the withholding of the House of Assembly fund on the ground that he had no constitutional power to do so.

The court also restrained Governor Fubara from frustrating the House of Assembly under Amaewhule from sitting or interfering in the affairs of the House, reversing the redeployment of the Clerk and Deputy Clerk done by the Governor.

Governor Fubara was ordered to release all monies standing in the credit of the House of Assembly to Martin Amaewhule, putting an end to all issues in dispute on Rivers State House of Assembly Vs Siminilayi Fubara.
