The River State House of Assembly Lawmakers have adjourned there sittings indefinitely
The decision for indefinite adjournment legislative duties was reached during plenary presided over by the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, in Port Harcourt on Friday.
It will be recalled that the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, wrote to the Speaker of River State House of Assembly informing him of his intention to visit the House and present the 2025 Appropriation Bill for consideration and approval.
The River State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara in a letter dated March 13 which was addressed to the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, said he intends to present the budget on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, or any other day within March that the House may deem fit.
Gov. Fubara said his decision is in compliance with the Supreme Court judgment and in response to the lawmakers’ request for him to re-present the budget.
He recalled the bitter experience of visiting the Assembly Quarters with his entourage, where the lawmakers were temporarily sitting to present the budget, but he was denied access to the complex.
