The Court of Appeal in Abuja has ruled in favour of pro-Nyesom Wike members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, according to a report by Channels Television..
This is as the Appeal Court affirmed the judgment of the Federal High Court which set aside the N800 billion budget passed by five members of the Rivers State House of Assembly led by the Edison Ehie-led group.
The appellate court dismissed the appeal filed by the Governor of Rivers State Siminalayi Fubara on grounds that it lacked merit.
