This was contained in a statement on Friday by the Special Assistant on Media to the Speaker, Martins Wachukwu.

Reacting to the ruling at the 129th Legislative Sitting of the Second Session, the Speaker of the House, Amaewhule, described the judgment as a victory for democracy and the rule of law, stating that it confirmed their position that “Governor Siminalayi Fubara was running an illegal administration with unscreened officials and without an appropriation law.”
