The 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, have barred the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara from entering the House of Assembly complex to present the 2025 budget.
Vanguard reports that Governor Fubara had arrived at the Assembly early on Wednesday to implement a key provision of the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the Supreme Court judgment—the presentation of the 2025 budget to a properly constituted State Assembly.
However, Assembly staff, speaking anonymously, claimed there was no formal communication regarding the Governor’s visit.
“I am not aware that the Governor was scheduled to be at the Assembly today (Wednesday). If such information existed, the Rt. Hon. Speaker would have informed us. As of now, we have no knowledge of his visit,” a source stated.
