This appeal SC/CV/1071/ 2024: GOV of Rivers State v Rivers State House of Assembly & Ors that came up today at the Supreme Court has become purely academic.

The case leading to this appeal was before James Omotosho as SUIT NO. FHC/ABJ/CS/1613/2023

It was filed on the 29th day of November 2023.

SUIT NO. FHC/ABJ/CS/1613/2023 pertains to the 2024 budget, which is no longer alive, the monies appropriated therein having been judiciously spent for the benefit of the good people of Rivers State

The 2024 budget became spent on the 31st December of 2024 fiscal year.

The appeal is of no useful purpose in this year 2025, which has its own budget.

The only reasonable thing left to do in the circumstances was to withdraw the appeal and have it dismissed.

It would be most unwise to belabour the Honourable Court with academic appeals without any practical or utilitarian value.

It is important to note that after Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1613/2023 was filed on 29th November 2023, Martin Chike and his 26 friends defected from PDP to APC on the 11th Day of December, 2023. Their seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly became vacant.

This appeal that was withdrawn today has nothing to do with the seats of Martin Chike Amaewhule and his 26 friends in the Rivers State House of Assembly. The members of the public should not be taken in by the misleading propaganda by Martin Chike Amaewhule and his 26 friends.

By implication, the judgement of the High Court stands and it is final. The Martin Awaewhule led Rivers State house of Assembly is the only recognized house of assembly and it is wrong and unconstitutional to do any legislative business with any other faction other than the house recognized by law.

Again, when you withdraw your appeal at either the appeal or Supreme Court, it means you have accepted fully the judgement of the court of first instance. Those trying to explain this as nothing are simply trying to cover Fubara’s failure. The ropes are already tightening around his neck and it’s now a matter of time.

As it stands today, Fubara faction has conceded that Mathins Amaewhule is the authentic Speaker of the Rivers St House of Assembly. This explanation is unnecessary and otiose. I think the only way out is a political solution like the case in Plateau. Let everyone sign memorandum of understanding to maintain peace. Fubara should stop being an ingrate. The Obedients are just Internet noisemakers with absolute mischievous thinking. Relying on them is a mistake.

This is not an academic exercise,if u withdraw a case at the supreme Court,it simply means u agree with the lower court.
