Presenting the Bill sponsored by the Majority Leader, who is also the Member representing Akuku Toru Constituency I, Hon. Major Jack averred that the Bill seeks to amend some sections of the Principal Law, and when ed, will make the Traditional Rulers law be in tune with current realities.

In the same vein, the House gave First Reading to a Bill which seeks to repeal the Rivers State ment and Use of State-owned Property (Prohibition) Law No.7 of 2022. The Bill was sponsored and presented by the Member representing Port Harcourt Constituency II, Hon Tonye Smart Adoki.

Speaking on the Order of the Day, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule Amaewhule, cited relevant sections of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as altered, that empowered the State House of Assembly to receive Report of the audited of the State, and therefore urged the House Committee on Public s to investigate why the Auditor-General of the State has not submitted the 2022 audited of the State to the House.

What a shame if he re-presents it...

These guys are clowns playing with tax payers' funds

Fubara is just weak ... I mean it ......can't use his executive powers ,,,why

na them sabi

You guys want to start another round of battle you can't win. We how Fubara dislodged you folks in less than a week. Another round of beating loading. Your lord, Wike, is all over the media reciting lamentations up and down. Better save him from more pains by killing off that shitty request. Budget has already been ed by Right Honorable Ehie.

Fubara can you be a man for once nah or you should be reminded. Lubbish!

Joseph represent the budget and let the state move forward, I hear you plan on holding an investment summit, which right thing thinking investor will invest in a state with political unrest, a problem which you're a very big part of, you commit to doing something and when the time comes to do it, you don't do it, why should people take you serious?

I blame innocent Nigerians that are always called out to come vote.....this looks like caricature

The Governor should ignore these clowns

Wike's handwork... No SIM no network.
Fubara is no fool.

Wike greatest mistake of all time yet Obi won't be president till 2040 😢

Fubara seems to be a sissy

Fubara is a quiet man but dey play the game of Rivers State politics well. The pro-Wike lawmakers won’t breathe in Rivers State politics. They have been choked.

Those are the kind of jatijati Bills they will keep ing till their tenure ends.
They won’t serious Bills that would move the state forward.

Go to state and federal Houses too - you will meet the same thing.

Fubara knows nothing he should come ask ladoja in 2005...wetin adedibu use him eye see with the legislatives

OK. Everyone should bury the hatchet and let the state be taken to a greater height irrespective of the political party



Anyway, Agriculture is life.

Did you see what happened to Edu?
She had to beg for car lift to leave the villa.

They will impeach Fubara and his security aides will be withdrawn. Everything will happen within 6 hours. He will be throwing tantrums as a private citizen.

Lol

Bad habit will slow down your good harvest..you need a councilor to help you stop cut the habit @ my signature

Dey play. Governor Fubara has presented the budget and also the budget has been ed, not only that, the budget has been signed by the executive Governor of Rivers State, Governor Fubara.

governor Fubara has used more than 6 months and nothing happened. You better come back in 2027, Wike and his boys has been politically defeated in Rivers State politics

Like eating the humble pie, Fubara would have to do a representation of the 2024 budget before the entire House.



This is to say that his presentation of the State budget before the Ehie led 4-man faction was an exercise in futility.


Mr Governor, you dey hear wetin dey sup so?

Why did Fubara accept the conditions they gave him in Abuja? Why did he not give them his own conditions?
You think Tinubu is Buhari.
Them give Fubara dressing, he behaved immediately.

If na judiciary, leave am for Wike. APC in Rivers state can explain better.
If they want Fubara kicked out, it will be done.
Ijaws won't even Fubara. It will be given to another Ijaw.
