Court Of Appeal Declares Martins Amaewhule Rivers Assembly Speaker by InfoGuru118(op): 3:35pm On Oct 10, 2024
The Court of Appeal in Abuja has upheld the decision of the Federal High Court, which nullified the N800 billion budget passed by five members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by the Edison Ehie group, News360 Nigeria reports.

In a judgment on Thursday, a three-member panel of the appellate court, led by Justice Joseph Oyewole, held that the appeal filed by the River State Governor against the January 22 judgment was unmeritorious.

Justice Oyewole, who authored and read the lead judgment, held that, having failed to challenge the case at the trial court, by withdrawing all the processes (documents) he filed against the suit, cannot turn around to now seek to appeal the judgment.

Justice Omotosho had, in the January 22 judgment, described the passage of the Rivers State’s 2024 Appropriation Bill by the five lawmakers, led by Ehie Edison, as an aberration and illegality.


He consequently ordered Governor Fubara to represent the budget to the Martins Amaewhule-led Assembly.

Re: Court Of Appeal Declares Martins Amaewhule Rivers Assembly Speaker by mustyNEMESIS:
This is going to be a long movie/show. I fear for Fubara. If this case should go to the Supreme Court, I fear Wike will use his influence and if the Supreme Court should also affirm the appeal court ruling, Fubara might not even finish this term, talk more of re-election.

I understand that he became the governor with the help of Wike, but that doesn’t mean he has to bow or get instructions from him on how to rule the state.

Wike has done his time. No one disturbed or fought him during his administration. Fubara should be given a free hand to operate.

But again, Fubara brought this on himself. I’m not privy to the agreement between him and Wike. If he entered any agreement with Wike, I believe he was fully aware of it before he agreed. He should honor the contract they both agreed.The fight between them started too early.

I don’t pity Fubara. He knew what Wike was capable of before agreeing to whatever deal they had. If he knew the conditions attached to Wike’s support is something that doesn’t make sense, why agree to it in the first place, only for you to turn back in the middle of the deal.

I only pity the people of Rivers state that are being denied good governance.

When two elephants fight, the grass bears the brunt.

A word of advise for everyone - don’t enter into an agreement or contract you know you won’t honor.
Re: Court Of Appeal Declares Martins Amaewhule Rivers Assembly Speaker by mustyNEMESIS:
If you take a closer look at this whole thing, Fubara seems to be on the losing end.

Fubara has been getting favorable judgements from the state court, which is expected. Wike and his gangs have been getting favorable judgments from the federal high court, which is also expected due to his connection.

In the long run, the federal court judgement is what counts. This is because if the case gets to the Supreme Court and this Wike guy is confirmed as the speaker, then Fubara is gone.

Wike’s men will move like a lightning bolt to impeach Fubara. Once he gets impeached by the pro-wike men, the show is over. Nothing the state courts can do about that.

The Nigeria police is federal. They will move swiftly to enforce the judgement. No amount of protest or violence can return him back as governor.

We all should learn to chose our fights wisely.

Oga!!! That is not the judgement. The Judgement is that Fubara should represent the budget. Fine, He will represent it to the current speaker, Rt. Hon. Victor Oko Jumbo

From where? The only court that can overturn an Appeal court judgement is the supreme Court and this one is not getting there.
So it's end of the road for Sim and his puppets on this one.
