A five-member panel of the Supreme Court, chaired by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji, has dismissed the appeal filed by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, contesting the leadership of the Rivers State House of Assembly, headed by Martin Amaewhule.
In her ruling, Justice Abba-Aji awarded a cost of two million naira against Governor Fubara, to be paid to the Rivers State House of Assembly (the first respondent) and Martin Amaewhule (the second respondent).
The appeal was dismissed following the withdrawal of the suit by Governor Fubara’s lawyer, Mr. Yusuf Ali.
