  • The Rivers State Government has accused the State House of Assembly of obstructing Governor Siminalayi Fubara from implementing the Supreme Court judgment.

  •  According to the state Commissioner for Information, Joseph Johnson, the Assembly has deliberately prevented the governor from executing the court’s verdict.

  •  The governor has already begun implementing the judgment.

The Rivers State Government has accused the State House of Assembly of deliberately obstructing Governor Siminalayi Fubara from implementing the Supreme Court judgment.

Speaking at a press conference in Port Harcourt, the state Commissioner for Information, Joseph Johnson, stated that Governor Fubara had remained committed to implementing the court’s verdict despite its unfavorable outcome.

Johnson accused the Assembly of frustrating the governor’s efforts, saying, “The narrative from the Rivers State House of Assembly is that Governor Fubara has refused to present the budget. Although it is tempting to ignore false narratives in the social media that Governor Fubara has refused to take steps to present the budget to the Assembly, we cannot ignore the press briefing by the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Dr. Enemi George alleging that the Governor is frustrating the implementation of the Supreme Court’s judgment.”
