Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has, on Wednesday, presented the 2024 Appropriation Bill to five members of the state House of Assembly.
The Budget is tagged Budget Of Renewed Hope, Consolidation And Continuity.
This came a few minutes after the demolition of the House of Assembly complex started.
It was learnt that the 27 members, loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, were not present at the sitting.
Recall that twenty-seven lawmakers of the House recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.
Consequently, the presiding speaker of the state assembly has declared the seats of the lawmakers vacant.
