In a heated session at the Rivers State House of Assembly, Governor Siminalayi Fubara faces yet another setback as the Assembly asserts its authority by vetoing the governor and passing the Public Procurement Amendment Bill.
The political rift between the governor and the legislative body escalates as accusations of financial mismanagement fly, with the Speaker condemning Fubara’s spending practices without proper appropriation.
The decision to veto the governor comes amidst concerns over unpaid salaries in Emohua Local Government, further fueling the already tense political atmosphere in Rivers State.
This latest move adds to a series of clashes between Governor Fubara and the Assembly, highlighting the ongoing power struggle within the state’s political landscape.
