An appeal filed by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, challenging the leadership of the Rivers State House of Assembly was on Monday dismissed by the Supreme Court in Abuja.

Fubara was also ordered to pay ₦2 million to the Assembly and Amaewhule by a five-member panel led by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji on Monday.

The case was dismissed after Fubara’s lawyer, Yusuf Ali, withdrew the suit.

The Amaehule led assembly is backed by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike.
