Justice Omotosho emphasized that the governor lacked the legal authority to interfere with the Rivers State House of Assembly’s activities.
Plus, the court held that the circumstances recorded in Area 11 of the 1999 Constitution, as altered, which would permit the Public Gathering to assume control over the regulative issues of Waterways State, have not happened.
It, consequently, gave a request for directive, controlling Governor Fubara from hindering or baffling the activities of the Get together under Amaewhule’s initiative as its speaker.
The court gave a request for directive, controlling the litigants from engaging any solicitation from Governor Fubara to assume control over the presentation of the elements of the Streams State Gathering, including its job to reconcile, request, and great legislature of Waterways regarding issues that are inside its sacred and authoritative skill.
It banished Governor Fubara from continuing with his arrangement to wreck the Rivers State Place of Gathering perplexing, even as it requested the arrival of all subsidies remaining to the credit of the Gathering.

Edison Ehie, the Rivers State Civil Service Commission, the Attorney General of Rivers, the Commissioner of Finance, the Accountant General of Rivers, and the governor of Rivers State were among the others.
It will be reviewed that a chilly connection between Governor Fubara and his ancestor and Pastor of the Government Capital Domain, FCT, Nyesom Wike, fractionalized the Streams State Place of Gathering.
Governor Fubara presented the Rivers State 2024 Appropriation Bill to the Ehie-led faction, which was devoted to him, in the midst of the fracas. He left the Amaewhule-led faction of the House, which was Wike’s side, out of the picture.
Notwithstanding, following the mediation of President Bola Tinubu, both Fubara and Wike marked a harmony settlement that incorporated the acknowledgment of Amaewhule as the legitimate Speaker of the Gathering.
Despite the fact that Governor Fubara promised to keep the conditions of the harmony bargain, he still couldn’t seem to consent to a solicitation by the Amaewhule-drove individuals from the Place of Gathering for the 2024 appointment bill of the state to be addressed before them for endorsement.
