In a pointed response to today’s Supreme Court ruling, Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the FCT Minister on Public Communication and Social Media, has raised serious concerns about the legality of Rivers State’s financial operations under Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Following the Supreme Court’s decision, where a five-man panel led by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji dismissed Governor Fubara’s appeal challenging the leadership of Martin Amaewhule in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Olayinka took to X (formerly Twitter) to make strong assertions about the implications of the ruling.
“With this judgment of the Supreme Court today, it is established that Governor Fubara has been spending Rivers State money illegally,” Olayinka declared in his post on the social media platform.
The Supreme Court’s dismissal of the governor’s appeal marks a significant development in the ongoing political tensions within Rivers State. The case specifically addressed Fubara’s challenge to the Amaewhule-led Assembly’s leadership, as reported by Channels Television.
This pronouncement from a senior federal government official adds another layer to the complex political situation in Rivers State, where questions about governance and financial management have become increasingly prominent. The Supreme Court’s ruling and its interpretation by government officials like Olayinka suggest potential far-reaching implications for the state’s financial administration and political landscape.
The development represents the latest chapter in the ongoing political discourse surrounding Rivers State’s governance structure and the legal framework within which its financial decisions are made.
