Breaking: Fubara Ordered to Submit 2025 Budget Within 48 Hours – Rivers Assembly

Rivers State House of Assembly has given Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara 48 hours to provide the 2025 budget to the lawmakers.
The legislators reportedly made this demand on Monday, March 3, 2025, during the plenary in Port Harcourt.
This comes shortly after Anabs Sara-Igbe, a well-known Ijaw leader in Rivers State, voiced concerns about the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the political situation in Rivers State, claiming that it seemed biased and influenced by special interests.
Governor Fubara assured Rivers residents that his administration will execute the Supreme Court’s decision as soon as it acquired a Certified True Copy (CTC) of the decision, which prompted Sara-Igbe’s response.

Following the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday that declared the October 5, 2024, local government elections in Rivers State to be void, the governor made his remark.

Before acting further, Governor Fubara stated in a nationwide broadcast that he has conferred with his legal staff, who anticipate receiving the CTC by Friday, March 7, 2025.

Details will be revealed soon.
