- Budget Impasse: Governor Fubara attempted to present the 2025 budget on March 12, but lawmakers barred access to the Assembly complex, defying a Supreme Court order.
- Adjournment Context: The Assembly’s indefinite adjournment follows a March 3 ultimatum demanding Fubara present the budget within 48 hours.
- Legal Battles: Amaewhule’s faction, recognized by the Supreme Court, faces challenges over its legitimacy after defectors’ seats were declared vacant in 2023.
The move deepens the political crisis, with Amaewhule’s group prioritizing confrontations over governance, including targeting the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RISEC).
