Rivers: Amaewhule-Led Assembly halt expenditures by Gov Fubara

The Martin Amaewhule-led House of Assembly has halted all expenditures by the Rivers State governor until Governor Siminalayi Fubara submits his budget to the House.

This action comes after the lawmakers issued a seven-day ultimatum for the governor to present his budget.

House Leader Major Jack introduced the motion, notifying the House about the expiration of the seven-day deadline for the governor to present the 2024 budget.

Following deliberation, the House voted to freeze the Rivers State Consolidated Revenue Account, effectively preventing Governor Fubara’s administration from spending any state funds.
