The Rivers State Government has said its case challenging the leadership of the State House of Assembly and the membership of the members who defected in December 2023 is still in court.
Edison Ehie, the Chief of Staff to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, made the clarification in a Facebook post, saying that the case is still before the Supreme Court.
According to him, the Supreme Court’s decision on Monday was about the Appeal Court Judgement that Fubara should re-present the 2024 budget before the Martins Amaewhule-led Assembly.
He explained that since the 2024 budget has been spent, Fubara thought to withdraw his appeal against the judgement because it will be a mere academic exercise to dwell on the matter.
“This appeal SC/CV/1071/ 2024: GOV of Rivers State v Rivers State House of Assembly & Ors that came up today at the Supreme Court has become purely academic.
“The case leading to this appeal was before James Omotosho as SUIT NO. FHC/ABJ/CS/1613/2023. It was filed on the 29th day of November 2023.
“SUIT NO. FHC/ABJ/CS/1613/2023 pertains to the 2024 budget, which is no longer alive, the monies appropriated therein having been judiciously spent for the benefit of the good people of Rivers State. The 2024 budget was spent on the 31st December of the 2024 fiscal year,” he said.
Ehie pointed out that the appeal is of no useful purpose in 2025, which already has its budget, adding that the only reasonable thing left to do in the circumstances was to withdraw the appeal and have it dismissed.
