Letter of Misconduct: Pro-Wike Lawmakers vs. Gov Fubara

Pro-Wike Lawmakers Serve Misconduct Letter to Gov Fubara

​The Rivers State House of Assembly has initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his Deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu, by serving them notices of alleged gross misconduct. This action is in accordance with Section 188 of the Nigerian Constitution, which outlines the process for the impeachment of state executives.

The specific allegations against Governor Fubara and Deputy Odu have not been publicly detailed. However, reports indicate that the lawmakers’ decision is linked to disputes over the 2025 state budget presentation. The Assembly claims that Governor Fubara has stalled the budget process and has not provided official communication regarding his intentions to present the budget.

This development adds to the ongoing political tensions within Rivers State, especially considering the strained relationship between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who now serves as the Federal Capital Territory Minister. The situation has led to a significant power struggle, with Wike supporting the Assembly’s actions against Fubara.

As of now, the Governor and Deputy have not publicly responded to the impeachment notices. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are anticipated as the legal and political processes unfold.
