Some civil society organisations on Monday, January 22, held a protest to stop the Rivers State Governor from re-presenting the 2024 Appropriation Bill to the Speaker Martins Amaewhule-led state House of Assembly.
The stakeholders, who displayed placards containing various messages, also urged the governor not to recognise Amaewhule as the Speaker of Assembly claiming that doing so was against the 1999 Constitution as amended.
They were seen standing at the entrance of the Government House in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital.
Chairman of the Coalition, Enefa Georgewill, said Fubara should not succumb to the pressure of further desecrating the Constitution by carrying out the remaining items in the peace accord.
He said that re-presenting the already passed budget would amount to disrespecting the constitution and could result in anarchy in the state.
The Public Relations Officer of the group, Solomon Leenu said they staged the protest to give Fubara the support and encouragement to act according to the law.
