The Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has signed the 2024 Appropriation Bill of N800bn into law.

Meanwhile, the Martins Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly, which is made up of 26 members, convened a sitting on Thursday.

The plenary session was held at the auditorium of the Assembly quarters on Aba Road, Port Harcourt.

The state has been entangled in a political crisis since Gov Fubura and the current Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, fell apart.

While Fubura backs the state house under the leadership of Ehis, the Amaewhule-led faction is loyal to Wike.
