<p>He added, <em>“Together, we are paving the way for a prosperous year ahead. Let me thank everyone and wish you a happy and prosperous New Year as we continue our journey to make Rivers State great again.”</em></p>
<p>On December 30, 2024, Fubara presented a budget proposal of â¦1.188 trillion for the 2025 fiscal year to the Assembly, representing an increase from the â¦800 billion budget of 2024.</p>
<p>However, the state’s opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) accused the governor of illegality, referencing a similar situation in 2024 when Fubara bypassed a factional 27-member Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule, loyal to his predecessor and estranged political ally, Nyesom Wike.</p>
