Fubara had presented the 2024 state appropriation bill of N800 billion in 2023 to a four-man House of Assembly faction led by the Speaker, Edison Ehie.

He made the presentation amid the sudden demolition of parts of the State House of Assembly complex.

This followed the defection of 27 Assembly members, led by fractional Speaker Martin Amaewhule, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The lawmakers had defected to APC following the face-off between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Ehie eventually resigned from the Assembly, after which Fubara appointed him as Chief of Staff.
