Hourable Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers Assembly has suspended all expenditures of Rivers governor Siminalayi Fubara until he re-presents his budget before the House.
The assembly made the move during plenary on Monday, following a seven-day ultimatum the lawmakers issued the governor to present his budget before the House.
Rivers House Leader, Major Jack, moved the motion to bring up a resolution alerting the House of the governor’s seven-day deadline for presenting the 2024 budget to the House.
After deliberation, the House voted to shut down the Rivers State Consolidated Revenue Account, thus preventing Fubara’s administration from spending any money on behalf of the state.
