Bamidele explained that the Senate had assumed legislative powers over Rivers State following the declaration of a State of Emergency in the state.

Supporting the motion, Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan emphasised the urgency of passing the budget to ensure that the people of Rivers State feel the impact of governance.

See what unnecessary political bickering has caused Rivers State. Budgeting presentation at almost half of the year. The state has actually suffered . Hope all actors have learnt their lessons. The countdown to end of six months continue.

Budget of sharing and choping



This is the whole idea. Wike takes everything. The reason they refused the governor to present the budget. Ask yourself, how did the administrator come about the budget. In the end, it shall be said one day how tinubu conived with a desperate and wicked son of rivers state to turn the Constitution on its head.

Tinubu and Yoruba people have put an end to Ijaw governance of River State.
The same way Adekunle killed Isaac Barrow and OBJ massacred and burnt down Odi.
This is real South West show of power and dominance of Ijaws.
