This comes after the expiration of the 7-day ultimatum the faction gave to Governor Siminalayi Fubara to present the 2024 budget before the House.
The Martin Amaewhule-led House of Assembly has claimed it has stopped Governor Siminalayi Fubara from making any expenditures until he presents his budget before the House.
The House reached the conclusion after the expiration of the 7-day ultimatum the faction gave to Governor Siminalayi Fubara to present the 2024 budget before the House.
Major Jack raised the motion informing the House about the expiration of the seven-day ultimatum given to the governor to present the 2024 budget before the House.
The Martin Amaewhule-led assembly therefore resolved that Governor Fubara is no longer allowed to approve or authorize expenditure from the consolidated revenue fund of the state, nor are ministries permitted to spend public funds until the 2024 budget is presented.
Recall that in December 2023, the governor signed the budget of 800 billion naira into law after presenting it before lawmakers led by the former factional speaker, Mr Edison Ehie.
