Rivers State lawmakers rejected a N100,000 Christmas bonus from the governor, calling it unconstitutional and returning the funds.
The Rivers State House of Assembly rejected and returned a N100,000 Christmas bonus sent directly to members’ accounts by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, calling the payment unsolicited, unapproved, and unconstitutional.
Lawmakers stated the transfers violated due process and the state’s constitution, as they bypassed legislative approval and followed repeated executive withdrawals from the Consolidated Revenue Account since 2023.
The House emphasized adherence to constitutional governance, warned civil servants aiding such actions, and confirmed the funds were returned immediately.
The governor has not yet presented the 2026 budget or submitted commissioner nominees, and the Assembly adjourned until January 26, 2026.
