The Rivers State Government has dismissed reports suggesting a disagreement between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and members of the Rivers State House of Assembly over the 2026 Appropriation Bill.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Onwuka Nzeshi, said reports published by some national newspapers and online platforms were misleading and did not reflect the relationship between the Executive and Legislative arms of government.
Nzeshi said Governor Fubara was “not at loggerheads” with members of the State House of Assembly but was working closely with the lawmakers in the interest of the people of Rivers State.
