● Governor’s office says not in receipt of House communication
● Assembly reacts
The Rivers State House of Assembly has challenged the state government’s claim that it has yet to receive the letter conveying to him the Hous resolution on presentation of budget within 48 hours
The Speaker’s principal secretary told Channels Television that the letter was sent to the Government House on March 3rd via FedEx courier.
There was a claim that when the courier man arrived at the government house gate, personnel there received a call instructing them not to accept the delivery and to return it to the sender.
The 48-hour ultimatum given to Governor Sim Fubara to present the 2025 budget if N1.1trn afresh expired today.
In response, the state government reportedly said that they had not officially received the letter containing the resolution.
A letter from the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo, stated: “As of the close of work on Tuesday, March 4th, 2025, we have not received the letter. Neither the Governor’s office, the Deputy Governor’s office, nor the Accountant-General’s office has received the said letter.”
