Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has forwarded a letter to the House of Assembly proposing next week, Wednesday, March 19, for the re-presentation of the 2025 Appropriation Bill.
In the letter of March 13 personally signed by him and addressed to Speaker Martins Amaewhule, the governor recalled his failed visit to the Assembly Wednesday to present the bill in line with the judgement.
He said the presentation of the budget could not take place because he and his entourage were denied access the Legislative Quarters temporarily servicing as the Assembly complex despite the prior delivery of a soft copy of the notice to the Speaker after the Clerk failed to accept the hard copy.
He further recalled that before the unfortunate incident, the Assembly had issued him a 48-hour ultimatum to present the bill, although he was yet to be served the certified true copy of the judgment.
