Tinubu needs to call that man to order. How can a man who ought to spend only 6 months in office draw a budget that should run for one year?
You'll draw the budget and get the man in Aso Rock to approve so Wike will get a lion share of it ahead of 2027 elections!

I thought this man's beat is supposed to be security
What is his business with budgeting
Everyone can now see the real reason why the tyrant in Aso rock kicked a governor out of office
This is a travesty. An unelected Akwa Ibom man is deciding for the people of Rivers state how to spend their God given resources
This is colonialism not democracy and the people of Rivers shouldn't allow this to stand

All of a sudden, the supreme court ruling has been set aside. Allocations did not wait for Martin Amewule and co to sit. Now a new budget will be put in place for 6 months project execution period and proper ability for the huge allocation Rivers State receives. I love this democracy.

You're ignorant, this budget is going to the National Assembly, once it is approved, it becomes law for 2025. No Governor can ever reverse it.

Who will sign it into law? If it's signed into law without lawmakers, what's different? Infact, it would be even worse than FUBARA own.
