Ugochinyere Defends Rivers State Allocation Against Court Ruling
Honorable Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the representative for Ideato North and South Federal Constituency of Imo State, has reassured the public that the allocation for Rivers State is secure, dismissing any attempt to halt it. According to Hon. Ugochinyere, recent judicial decisions to freeze the state’s allocation have been appealed, underscoring his commitment to protect the financial resources designated for Rivers State.
Budget Presentation Before Oko Jumbo-Led House of Assembly
Additionally, Hon. Ugochinyere confirmed that the 2025 Rivers State budget will be presented to the House of Assembly, currently led by Hon. Oko Jumbo. This arrangement will remain in place until the Supreme Court resolves the ongoing disputes concerning the legitimacy of lawmakers removed from office who are aligned with former Governor Nyesom Wike.
Reactions to Judicial Ruling on Rivers Allocation
In a statement shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, Ugochinyere criticized the judgment freezing Rivers State’s allocation, labeling it as “unenforceable” and an act of “judicial rascality.” He further condemned the ruling, describing it as a “dangerous invitation to anarchy” and expressed confidence that the appeal will ultimately protect Rivers State’s financial interests.
Commitment to Stability and Legal Resolution
Reaffirming his stance, Hon. Ugochinyere stated, “No one will halt the allocation for Rivers State. The judgment has been appealed, and the 2025 budget will be presented before the Oko Jumbo-led Assembly until the Supreme Court resolves the issue of the legitimacy of pro-Wike lawmakers
