LAWMAKERS loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike have ordered a shutdown of the Rivers State Consolidated Revenue Account thereby prohibiting any expenditure by Governor Fubara’s administration.
The lawmakers held that Governor Fubara will be restrained from touching the state’s funds until he re-presents the 2024 proposed budget before the House.
It will be recalled that the Martin Amaewhule-led Assembly lawmakers had given the governor a seven-day ultimatum to re-present his budget proposal which has expired.
Rivers House Leader, Major Jack, moved the motion to bring up a resolution alerting the House of the governor’s seven-day deadline for presenting the 2024 budget to the House.
Following consideration, the Assembly decided to shut down the Rivers State Consolidated Revenue Account, prohibiting any expenditure by Governor Fubara’s administration.
