The Opposition Coalition in the National Assembly has clarified that no Supreme Court judgment was issued against Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, dismissing speculations to the contrary.

The coalition also affirmed that Hon. Oko Jumbo remains the legitimate Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere explained that the Supreme Court ruling was actually in favor of Governor Fubara. The court’s decision followed the governor’s voluntary withdrawal of an appeal related to the 2024 budget, a matter deemed irrelevant as the budget had already been fully executed.

“Governor Fubara did not lose any case at the Supreme Court,” Ugochinyere emphasized. “He withdrew his appeal over the 2024 budget because it has already expired and been fully implemented. The Supreme Court simply struck it out.”

Ugochinyere dismissed claims that pro-Wike lawmakers had received any favorable judgment, clarifying that the governor’s withdrawal was a practical decision.

He added, “The sacked, disgruntled Martin Amaewhule and the pro-Wike group are jubilating out of ignorance. The Supreme Court judgment was based solely on Governor Fubara’s voluntary withdrawal of the case since the 2024 budget had already been fully spent and implemented.”

The opposition lawmaker assured that Speaker Oko Jumbo remains in charge of the Rivers State legislature, urging the public to disregard political propaganda.

“The Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Oko Jumbo, is still in control of the legislature. The pro-Wike sacked lawmakers and their gang leader, Amaewhule, remain removed from office,” he reiterated.

Ugochinyere called on the media to ensure accurate and truthful reporting, especially on legal matters, and encouraged Governor Fubara to remain focused on delivering good governance to the people of Rivers State.

He concluded by urging citizens to ignore political distractions and focus on the state’s development agenda.

*NIGERIA'S CAPITAL(ABUJA) SUPREME COURT RULING IS NOT SUPERIOR TO IJAW NATION CAPITAL AGADAGBA(WILBERFORCE ISLAND) SUPREME COURT RULING.* 💙❤️💚..



The Lovers of Ijaw Nation Organization (LINO) is using this medium to remind the Nigeria's President to play his political games with care so that it doesn't end Nigeria faster than expected.



Wike sold Nigeria's Rivers Votes for him for a pot of porridge known as appointment in Abuja and he in return think he can pay that by selling Rivers to Wike in order for his second tenure votes to be guaranteed in Rivers.



Mr Tinubu?
Ijaw Nation is not Nigeria's Lagos State that you can control endlessly and nobody challenges.
We Ijaws are not animals and we are using this medium to tell you that whatever is settled in Abuja remains in Abuja and we the Ijaws have our own ruling in all that concerns us and that does not concern Abuja and the ruling at Agadagba (Wilberforce Island) the Ijaw Nation tribal Headquarters superceeds all..



We are not animals and we refuse to be all in the name of one Nigeria.

Ijaw our past,present and future.

Go and ask any lawyer around you to intepret todays Judgement and free yourself from ignorant.
2024 budget is no longer relevant and the court already declare as such.
Tell Amaehule to go and sue fubara regarding 2025 budget which is still current.
Ask question around and get proper understanding of the happening.
