Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has signed the state’s N1.1 trillion 2025 budget into law.
In a speech after signing the budget into law on Thursday, the governor appreciated the Victor Oko-Jumbo-led State Assembly for doing a good job.
Fubara insisted that the only House of Assembly existing in the state was the one led by Oko-Jumbo.
IgbereTV recalls that Fubara presented the N1.1 trillion budget to the Victor Oko-Jumbo-led House of Assembly on Monday last week.
Fubara declared that Martins Amaewhule and 26 other members, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, can no longer be recognised as legislators, despite their recent efforts at recanting their actions.
The Amaewhule group are loyal to former Rivers governor and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who has been at loggerheads with Fubara
