The Rivers State House of Assembly has adjourned sine die, meaning indefinitely, without setting a date for resumption.
The sudden adjournment comes on the heels of a letter from Governor Similaye Fubara, informing the assembly of his intention to present the state budget on Wednesday.
The assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, a close ally of former Governor Nyesom Wike, took the decision to adjourn indefinitely, sparking speculation about the underlying reasons.
The adjournment has raised eyebrows, with many seeing it as a ploy to further frustrate the governor.
