I resigned from Fubara’s cabinet because we were spending without appropriation

Alabo George-Kelly, a former Commissioner of Works in Rivers State, has explained why he resigned from Governor Sim Fubara's cabinet. George-Kelly said he resigned because the state was spending money without appropriation. Five lawmakers loyal to Fubara had approved N800 billion as the state’s budget for the 2024 fiscal year, but a federal high court in Abuja nullified it.

In an interview with Channels Television, Alabo said: “Part of the resolution was that the budget should be re-presented to the correct house of assembly. Was that done up till now? No. “So if there is no appropriation, if there is no budget, how are you spending? That is my worry. “How can I serve in that kind of government? I will be picked up one day, because you have immunity. I am approving projects and signing award letters without appropriation which is a breach of a procurement law.
