The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, challenging a Court of Appeal ruling that affirmed Martin Amaewhule as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
A five-member panel of the apex court struck out the appeal, marked SC/CV/1171/2024, after Fubara’s counsel, Yusuf Ali (SAN), applied to withdraw it, citing that events have overtaken the appeal. However, he did not elaborate on what he meant by that.
Lawyers representing the respondents, including members of the Amaewhule-led faction of the Assembly-Olanipekun (SAN), Joseph Daudu (SAN), Tuduru Edeh (SAN), and Mini Ayua did not oppose the withdrawal.
Olanipekun and Daudu, however, requested N2 million in costs each, arguing that legal issues had already been joined by both parties. The court granted their request, with Justice Uwani Abba-Aji, who led the panel, delivering the ruling.
