2024 is already gone, hence Martin should go to court to demand the 2025 budget be presented before him 😂
The supreme court has ruled on the matter despite Fubara's team wanting to withdraw their appeal before the court.

What this means is that Fubara acted contrary to the constitution by :

1. Presenting the budget before a House that did not meant up to the minimum members that should form a quorum.

2. By the judgement above, that means the suspended members are expected to resume back to their sits in the House and you should expect them to first sack the current five man kangaroo assembly and reinstate the former Speaker. After this is done, Fubara will face impeachment for operating an illegal budget for the fiscal year 2024.

Dem dey set trap for Fubara.

Same 2024 budget that all 3 courts from the High, Appeal & Supreme have ruled was null & void ab initio?

Fubara is just a confirmed DUNCE.

Supreme Court has to dismiss the case because the budget can no longer be represented ( it is a void case, it is like getting a ruling to make a contractor build your house, but the contractor went to the court to challenge the ruling, while the case was on the contractor filed bankruptcy), and withdrew his challenge. What do you want the court to rule on? The contractor can no longer fulfill that requirement hence the court will dismiss his challenge. 2024 is gone with the wind
Supreme Court dismissed the case??

Fubara withdraw his appeal nah......abeg read the judgement again ooo.

Fubara appeal judgement against him.....he withdrew talk say hin no do case again which automatically means he accepts the previous judgement.

There is nothing left to adjudicate, 2024 is gone hence Fubara case will be dismissed ( Fubara has already implemented budget, case closed). Martin should now request through the courts that 2025 budget be presented before him
it doesn't work that way, dis ruling as already affirmed him as speaker... That's why I'm asking who will fubara pay 2 million to and nobody is answering me

Nawa oO. Nigeria is in serious trouble, if the so called masses cannot read in between the lines despite claiming to be educated. This is a masterstroke from Fubara. He knew from the beginning that he was going to win the case, yet he took it to court to buy time. This is 2025. 2024 budget has all been implemented...money spent. Which was what he was after in the first place.
You are wrong on many fronts. Number one the faction recognised is not the one aligned to him. Number two it is an impeachable offence to spend without a budget. If I am not mistaken I think it has even been criminalised. Meaning his accountant general can be picked up and jailed.

No. It's you that is basking in your own ignorance.

The fact that the plaintiffs requested that the case be struck out and dismissed despised Fubara officially withdrawing the suit before the Supreme Court should tell you that a legal precedence and court ruling has been established from the High Court up to the Supreme Court. And the ruling being that Fubara erred in presenting the 2024 appropriation budget for Rivers state before a five man assembly is null and void.

What this means going forward is that Fubara can not present the budget for 2025 to his five man assembly and must thus recognise and present the 2025 budget before the full house with the remaining 27 members of the House reinstated and included in the day to day activities of the House.


That is an automatic win for the plaintiffs who will now storm the Rivers assembly and begin impeachment moves on the Speaker and other remaining four members. From there, the reinstated speaker will now begin the process of removing Fubara from office for passing the appropriation budget without the House as stated in the Supreme court ruling.
Like I said earlier, Fubara knew all these already. He knew he will be thrashed in court, hence the appeal. He cannot represent 2024 budget. So he won in that aspect.

This case is no longer useful to Fubara as 2024 budget is fully spent and concluded. This is 2025. If Amaewule want Fubara to present 2025 budget to him, he should go back to Federal high court to start new application
The ruling by the Supreme court has affirmed that Fubara operated an illegal budget for 2024.

If you think this has passed, you need your head examined.

Going forward , Fubara can not repeat what he did in 2024 in the 2025 appropriation bill .

He is screwed . The Apex court, by this ruling which Fubara's team attempted to avoid by withdrawing their appeal before the court, has made it clear that the 2024 Appropriation Bill for Rivers state was illegal.

There's a reason why Fubara's team attempted to withdraw their appeal, and that was because they intended to repeat the same illegality in 2025 and then refile the appeal at the supreme court at a convenient date in future so as to continue operating the budget as they did with that of 2024.

I don't know what you are talking about. I am not a Fubara fan neither am I a Wike's fan. I am simply analysing the case. If you have a superior argument bring it on, so that others can learn. Btw, you u are the one that should be ashamed of yourself.

This is not true

The case is not centred around the date 2024 but rather what constitutes defection and whether a minority can ratify legislation contrary to the constitution.

To think that the respondents has to go back and start again in 2025 is layman's thinking. The SC rulings have general application.

The word "dismissed" is important as well because there is a differen between dismissal and striking out - which is usually for procedural defects and which do not preclude the apellant coming back again.

Any state house must take notice of the ruling at the Appeal court level at the minimum.

Yes Fubara has won in his foolishness, he has given the 26 member house the reason to impeach him for spending money that was not duly appropriated.

Seriously, what was Fubara thinking ?

If he wanted to fight Wike, he should have splashed money on the aggrieved House Assembly Members and make them his own men.

The constitution does not allow for a one man show at any level of the executive branch from LGA to State to Federal, there must be checks and balances.

Pls tells us how this is in any way a win for Fubara when the Supreme Court has ruled that the 2024 Appropriation Act did not meet up to the constitutional process of getting a budget approval.


Pls, tell me how Fubara won with this supreme court ruling that has affirmed the decisions of the High Court and Appeal court that Fubara was dragged to by the aggrieved House Assembly Members?

Someone lost a case from the High court all the way up to the Supreme court and an illegality was established on his side and for some reason you say this is a "win"?

Pls, let me learn from you how and when Fubara "won".

Damn, that guy go tey for Prison, EFCC will feast on him if he doesn't win second term. Thats when he'll know the G in FG is not the same with the one in state government. How can you who is UNDER LAW, present a budget to a 5 man house of assembly against a 27 members house of assembly. Dude will cry REAL TEARS by the time a battalion of soldiers descend on him if he doesnt win SECOND TERM which he's not going to win. Wike will not even let that happen. BETTER START IMPORTING YOUR MUNITIONS IN CASE YOU SUPPORT FUBARA.

He's lucky Tinubu is not even like Obasanjo.

Stop rushing to comment before reading in between the lines. Fubara, yea,was clutching at a straw. He needed money to spend and buy time to fight...he got what he wanted. Call it whatever you want.

Does this imply that Fubara spent money in 2024 without a budget?

Does this constitute an impeachable offence in 2025?
