“Unapproved, Unsolicited”, Rivers Assembly Members Reject N100,000 Christmas gift From Fubara

The feud between Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, and members of the state’s assembly has taken a new turn.

In a statement issued by Enemi Alabo George, chairman of the house committee on information and petitions, the lawmakers said they received a credit alert of N100,000 each on Fubara’s instructions.

The legislators, who are loyal to Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), said the sum was “unapproved and unsolicited”.

The lawmakers said they have taken “immediate steps to formally return the said funds to the account of the Rivers State Government”.
