The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has voided and set aside the presentation and passage of Rivers State 2024 Budget by a group of unlawful four-member legislators in the state.
The court in a judgment delivered on Monday by Justice James Omotoso ordered the governor of the State Siminalayi Fubara to represent the budget to the legally constituted House of Assembly under Speaker Martin Amaewhule.
James Omotoso quashed the withholding of the House of Assembly fund on the ground that he had no constitutional power to do so.
The court restrained Governor Fubara from frustrating the House of Assembly under Amaewhule from sitting or interfering in the affairs of the House.
