Forget Social Media Court Judgment, you’ll receive your Allocations — Fubara assures LG chairmen
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has reacted to the Federal High Court’s ruling that barred the Central Bank of Nigeria from releasing monthly financial allocations to the state.
Studiocb55news reports that Justice Joyce Abdulmalik in her judgement on Wednesday found that Governor Fubara’s presentation of the 2024 budget to a four-member House of Assembly breached constitutional protocol
The judge contended that the governor’s actions ignored constitutional requirements for budget approval by a fully constituted House of Assembly.
She restricted the CBN, the Accountant General of the Federation, and the state’s accounts at Zenith Bank and Access Bank from releasing any funds to Fubara.
Reacting to the development, Fubara said the decision of the court is “the least” of his problems.
He revealed this during a special thanksgiving service organised by the state government to celebrate his administration’s resilience amid escalating political crises, which began with the arson attack on the State House of Assembly complex exactly one year ago.
