JUST IN: APPEAL COURT REAFFIRMS MARTINS AMAEWHULE AS SPEAKER RIVERS STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.
The Court of Appeal has upheld the judgment of the Federal High Court, affirming Martins Amaehwule as the rightful Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Recall that the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, had challenged the judgement of Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court Abuja, which affirmed Amaehwule’s leadership.
This ruling is a victory for the camp of former Rivers State and current FCT Minister, Chief Barr. Nyesom Wike, who has been at odds with Governor Fubara.
Governor Fubara has also been ordered to re-present the 2024 budget to the Amaehwule-led House of Assembly.
“All expenditure done by Rivers State Governor without the Appropriation of Rt.Hon.Martins is illegal to the extend of its expenditures” The appellate court clarifies.
