The governor had, on Monday, December 30, 2024, presented the budget tagged, “Budget of Inclusive Growth and Development”, to four-member Rivers State House of Assembly.

He added that Martins Amaewhule and 26 other members who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) were not recognised as lawmakers, despite their recent efforts at recanting their actions.

The Amaewhule group are loyal to former Rivers State Governor and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, who has been at loggerheads with Fubara.

Fubara said no governor in Nigeria has endured the level of disrespect he had endured, adding that his focus remains on steering Rivers State toward greater accomplishments.

The governor further disclosed that the budget provides for spending till December 31, 2025, and contains 12 sections.
