The Supreme Court in Abuja has dismissed an appeal filed by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, challenging the leadership of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
A five-member panel, led by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji, issued the ruling on Monday, ordering Fubara to pay ₦2 million to the Assembly and its leader, Martin Amaewhule.
The dismissal followed a request by Fubara’s legal counsel, Yusuf Ali, to withdraw the case.
