The House relying on Section 100 subsection 5 said the assent of the governor is not required for the passage into law of the said bills.


The Rivers State House of Assembly has voted to override Governor Siminalayi Fubara and pass four new bills into law.


This happened during plenary on Friday (today) at the House of Assembly Quarters after the Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule read four letters addressed to him by the governor wherein he declined his assent to the four new bills which had been sent to him for assent.

The House relying on Section 100 subsection 5 said the assent of the governor is not required for the passage into law of the said bills.

The section stated that “where the Governor withholds assent and the bill is again passed by two thirds majority, the bill shall become a law and the assent of the Governor shall not be required”.


Speaking further, the Speaker accused the governor of not planning to conduct local government elections in the state, saying “by the reasons given by the Governor it means he doesn’t plan to conduct local government elections in the state”.

Speaking further said, “the key thing here is that this law removes the power of the Governor to appoint Caretaker Committee Chairmen for the Local Governments, the Governor is not happy that we’re removing his powers to appoint caretaker chairmen”

The 4 Laws passed are:

1-The Rivers Local Government Amendment Law

2-The Rivers State Traditional Rulers Amendment Law

3-The Rivers State Advertisement and Use of State Owned Property Prohibition repeal law.

4- The Rivers State Funds Management and Financial Autonomy Law.

Fubara, match your words with actions.

You said no price is too big to pay for peace and that you will implement the letter and spirit of the resolutions reached with the president, so what is the problem?

Which kind of yeye style of governance is this? Government of confusion.

Caretaker chairmen are unconstitutional, so don't even think about it.

Better stop listening to David Briggs.

In other states in Nigeria, House of Assembly members are puppets of the governor. In Rivers State, the governor is a puppet of the House of Assembly members grin

Foolbara = GEJ promax.
We warned this simp to stand firm, but choose to play dumb in the name of peace brokered by Tinubu. The same Tinubu that fought OBJ like his whole life depended on it.

The house can now restart his Impeachment.

Lol. Fubara thinks Nigerian politics is played gentlemanly. Unfortunately he's a fool not to have learnt ruthlessness in politics from his former Boss.
He already displayed weakness when he reabsorbed commissioners who willingly resigned on their own without provocation.
He won't have it easy in the executive neither is he having it easy with the legislative.
How he handled the whole scenario proved him to be weak and indolent reason a common LGA chairman could insult him without fear first in the history of Nigeria. Isn't it obvious that this man will be impeached as Governor? grin

Nice move, i see this as a blessing in disguise, the prayers of the masses is about to be answered because in the end it shows that state house legislature can override governors. Other states will follow suit
