A five-member panel of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji, has rejected the appeal filed by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, challenging the leadership of the Rivers State House of Assembly under Martin Amaewhule.
In her ruling, Justice Abba-Aji awarded a cost of two million naira, to be paid by the governor to the Rivers State House of Assembly, the first respondent, and Martin Amaewhule, the second respondent.
The dismissal of Fubara’s appeal was based on the withdrawal of the case by his lawyer, Yusuf Ali.
