Fubara locked out of Rivers Assembly complex

The gate of the Rivers State House of Assembly Quarters on Wednesday was locked when Governor Siminalayi Fubara arrived at the venue.

When the governor’s motorcade came, security personnel at the quarters sealed the gates.

The security personnel’s conduct was based on the claim that there was no official communication between the governor and the Assembly.

However, Fubara stated that he reported his arrival to Speaker Martins Amaewhule by letter and attempted to telephone him since Tuesday.

Furthermore, the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo, in a letter dated March 7, 2025, sought a meeting with the lawmakers for March 10, 2025, to discuss the re-presentation of the 2025 budget and a peace talk.

At the inauguration of some health facilities in Khana Local Government Area, shortly after leaving the Assembly quarters, Fubara said he is ready to come back on the date agreed to present the budget.
