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 became spent on the 31st December of 2024 fiscal year

The appeal is of no useful purpose in this year 2025, which has its own budget.

The only reasonable thing left to do in the circumstances was to withdraw the appeal and have it dismissed.

It would be most unwise to belabour the Honourable Court with academic appeals without any practical or utilitarian value.

It is important to note that after Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1613/2023 was filed on 29th November 2023, Martin Chike and his 26 friends defected from PDP to APC on the 11th Day of December, 2023. Their seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly became vacant.

This appeal that was withdrawn today has nothing to do with the seats of Martin Chike Amaewhule and his 26 friends in the Rivers State House of Assembly. The of the public should not be taken in by the misleading propaganda by Martin Chike Amaewhule and his 26 friends

Both the Federal High Court and Court of Appeal had in their separate judgments faulted Fubara’s presentation of the 2024 appropriation before a five-member House of Assembly led by Hon. Edison Ehie.

Fubara had predicated his decision to present to the Ehie-led House of Assembly on the grounds that the Amaewhule-led faction having defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) ceases to be lawful of the state assembly.

But both the two lower courts held that he cannot present the budget before a five-member House of Assembly, especially when he did not present any evidence that the faction of Amaewhule 27 lawmakers defected from the PDP to the APC
.

Displeased with the judgments of the two lower courts, Fubara had last year approached the apex court for an order setting aside the concurrent judgments ordering him to represent the budget to the Amaewhule-led faction.

*NIGERIA'S CAPITAL(ABUJA) SUPREME COURT RULING IS NOT SUPERIOR TO IJAW NATION CAPITAL AGADAGBA(WILBERFORCE ISLAND) SUPREME COURT RULING.* 💙❤️💚..



The Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization (LINO) is using this medium to remind the Nigeria's President to play his political games with care so that it doesn't end Nigeria faster than expected.



Wike sold Nigeria's Rivers Votes for him for a pot of porridge known as appointment in Abuja and he in return think he can pay that by selling Rivers to Wike in order for his second tenure votes to be guaranteed in Rivers.



Mr Tinubu?
Ijaw Nation is not Nigeria's Lagos State that you can control endlessly and nobody challenges.
We Ijaws are not animals and we are using this medium to tell you that whatever is settled in Abuja remains in Abuja and we the Ijaws have our own ruling in all that concerns us and that does not concern Abuja and the ruling at Agadagba (Wilberforce Island) the Ijaw Nation tribal Headquarters superceeds all..



We are not animals and we refuse to be all in the name of one Nigeria.

Ijaw our past,present and future.

All of these threats will be ineffective if the Supreme Court rules. The Ijaw people will do nothing more than rant.

In compliance with the court's decision delivered on Monday, January 13, 2025,
the NWC has reinstated the Hon Nname Robinson Ewor -led Rivers State Executive to oversee the affairs of the PDP in the state, under the party's constitution.

The NWC commended the court's decision, emphasizing the PDP's commitment to transparency, internal democracy, and adherence to the rule of law in its operations.

The NWC commends all of the PDP in Rivers State for their steadfastness and unshaken belief in the ideals of the Party as a truly democratic and all-inclusive Party guided only by the collective Will, yearning and aspiration of the people."

Stop weeping. Don't share the news from outlets that aligns with your sentiments.
