Lawmakers allegedly barred Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, from accessing the House of Assembly on Wednesday to present the 2025 budget.
This development signals a deepening rift in the ongoing power struggle between the state’s executive and legislative branches.
Arise Television reports that Governor Fubara arrived at the state lawmakers’ temporary legislative quarters, located along the Port Harcourt and Aba expressway, to fulfill the Supreme Court’s mandate requiring him to formally present the 2025 budget to the Rivers State House of Assembly.
