The Rivers State Government has disclosed that it is yet to receive the resolutions passed by the State House of Assembly concerning a recent Supreme Court judgment.

The announcement was made by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) in a formal letter addressed to the Speaker of the Assembly on Tuesday, March 04, 2025.

On Monday, the Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule-led assembly had, during its sitting, issued Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, a 48-hour ultimatum to present the 2025 budget of the State before it.

However, according to the SSG, as of the close of official business hours on Tuesday, no government office had been served with any communication or documentation from the Assembly regarding the resolutions.

Danagogo also referenced a recent state broadcast by Fubara on March 2, where he reaffirmed his commitment to respect the rule of law.

He said despite any personal opinions on the Supreme Court’s ruling, the Governor had assured the people of Rivers State, that his administration would abide by and implement the court’s decisions in the best interest of the state.

The letter reads in part: “I hereby refer to you to a letter dated March 3, 2025, on the above subject matter, which we came across on social media and notify you that:

“As of the close of work on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, we are yet to receive the said letter. Neither the office of the Governor, the Deputy Governor’s office, nor the office of the Accountant-General of the state, has received the letter.

“Please, recall that His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, Governor of Rivers State, had in a broadcast on Sunday, March 2, 2025, stated clearly that notwithstanding his personal opinion on the Supreme Court judgements, he will, as a law-abiding Nigerian, obey and implement their decision by the rule of law and the best interest of the people of the state.”

This development comes amidst heightened political tensions in the state, with many stakeholders keenly observing how the Supreme Court’s decision will shape the state’s governance.
