Rivers Assembly threatens impeachment against Gov Fubara
The Rivers State House of Assembly has issued a stern warning to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, accusing him of dishonesty and threatening to reignite impeachment proceedings if he continues to flout the constitution.
During a press briefing in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, Speaker Martin Amaewhule, accompanied by 26 Assembly members, emphasized their stance.
The lawmakers pointed fingers at the governor for failing to honor his commitment to the Presidential Peace Accord, which he voluntarily endorsed.
Despite withdrawing their impeachment notice earlier out of respect for President Tinubu, they now contemplate resuming the process due to ongoing constitutional violations by Governor Fubara.
