After the Supreme Court court dismissed Gov. Fubara’s appeal on the 2024 budget, the court withheld rulings on four other Rivers political cases.
The Supreme Court, on Monday, reserved judgments in four separate appeals surrounding the Rivers State political logjam, which has continued to pit the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike against the incumbent governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
The four cases reserved include;
1. SC/CV/1174/2024, between Rivers State House of Assembly and others against the Rivers State Government and nine others;
2. SC/CV/1175/2024, between Rivers State House of Assembly and others against the Rivers State Governor and nine others;
3. SC/CV/1176/2024, between Rivers State House of Assembly and others against Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, and nine others; and
4. SC/CV/1177/2024, between Rivers State House of Assembly and others against the Accountant General of Rivers State and nine others.
A five-member panel of justices of the apex court led by Justice Uwani Musa Aba-Aji said a date would be communicated to lawyers representing parties in the appeals shortly after the counsel adopted their processes for and against the various appeals.
