US EditionNigeria: Breaking - Rivers Lawmakers Vow to Resume Fubara, Odu's Impeachment
- On Friday, members of the Rivers State House of Assembly said they will proceed with the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara after meeting at a conference hall within their residential quarters.
- The House, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, had last week commenced impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Governor Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu over alleged gross misconduct, including demolition of the Assembly complex and spending public funds without legislative approval.
- Led by Minority Leader Sylvanus Nwankwo, four lawmakers reversed their withdrawal and rejoined the impeachment supporters, saying the governor refused dialogue and Daily Trust linked the shift to pressure tied to Nyesom Wike.
- The House may reconvene on Thursday to press the impeachment forward, as lawmakers said removing the governor and his deputy would avert law and order breakdown, with Majority Leader Major Jack framing the process as defending the 1999 Constitution.
- Amid the political face-off, legal and procedural obstacles could derail the impeachment as minority-party lawmakers plot against Speaker Martin Amaewhule and courts may reject flawed processes.
