Pro-Wike assembly issues Fubara seven-day ultimatum to resubmit 2024 budget

The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule, has given the state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara a 7-day deadline to resubmit the 2024 budget.

This order was issued during the first session of the pro-Wike House on Monday after a hiatus of several months.

Meanwhile, a parallel session is being held by the House faction led by Victor Oko-Jumbo.

Fubara had previously presented the budget to the other House loyal to him, with his current Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, presiding as Speaker.

Ehie and the pro-Fubara lawmakers passed the budget estimates, which the governor then signed into law, stating it aims to promote economic development, inclusive growth, and address socio-economic inequality in the state.
