WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Tension has risen in Rivers State as the state House of Assembly initiates impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Governor Prof Ngozi Odu. The lawmakers, loyal to former governor Nyesom Wike, accuse the duo of gross misconduct. The impeachment notice lists 19 constitutional breaches, including reckless expenditure and hindering the assembly’s duties. President Bola Tinubu had intervened, meeting with Pan-Niger Delta Forum leaders to counsel Fubara to pursue peace and stability. Ijaw groups have threatened a crisis if Fubara is impeached, warning of unrest and potential destabilization of the region. The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, criticized the lawmakers’ actions, saying they are frustrating Fubara’s efforts to implement the Supreme Court judgment. The situation remains volatile, with the governor and deputy governor urged to respond to the allegations within 14 days.
