The budget was presented by a group of four-member legislators in the State.
Omotoso also set aside the redeployment of the Clerk and the Deputy Clerk done by Fubara having declared the action null and void.
The Justice ordered the Inspector General of Police was ordered to immediately give adequate security to the Speaker and legislators loyal to former Governor Nyesom Wike.
