The defendants in the case included President Tinubu, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Rivers State House of Assembly, Speaker Martin Amaewhule, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The plaintiffs sought a constitutional interpretation of a peace accord, questioning whether the directives within it to resolve the political crisis conflicted with the 1999 Constitution as amended.
Additionally, the applicants wanted clarification on whether President Tinubu had the legal authority to instruct the governor to resubmit the 2024 budget to 24 House of Assembly members led by Martin Amaewhule, even after their seats were declared vacant. They also questioned the propriety of re-submitting the names of commissioners who had willingly resigned.

Justice Nworgu referenced the judgment by James Omotosho of the Abuja High Court, which invalidated the activities of the Edison Ehie-led faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
