The Rivers State House of Assembly, under the leadership of Martin Amaewhule, has issued a 7-day ultimatum to Governor Siminalayi Fubara to re-present the 2024 budget.
This order comes after the pro-Wike House held its first session on Monday after several months. Meanwhile, a parallel session is being conducted by the House faction led by Victor Oko-Jumbo.
