Fubara draws fresh battle line with pro-Wike lawmakers, presents 2025 budget to Rivers Assembly faction

The Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Monday, presented the 2025 budget proposal of ₦1.1 trillion to a faction of the state’s House of Assembly led by Victor Oko-Jumbo.

The latest development is expected to set the state on a fresh warpath following the crisis that trailed the 2024 budget presentation.

This is the second time in one year the governor will present the budget estimate to a few lawmakers since the state political crisis began in September last year.
