Fubara and Deputy Receive Misconduct Notice from Rivers Assembly
The Rivers State House of Assembly has initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, by serving them notices of alleged gross misconduct.
This action stems from heightened political tensions between the Assembly and the Governor, particularly concerning the presentation of the 2025 Appropriation Bill.
The notices, issued in compliance with Section 188 of the Nigerian Constitution, outline allegations of misconduct in the performance of official duties. The specific details of these allegations have not been publicly disclosed.
This development follows a series of disputes, including the Assembly’s indefinite adjournment despite the Governor’s efforts to present the budget in line with Supreme Court directives.
The political climate has been further strained by public statements from figures such as Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, who has expressed support for the impeachment if warranted.
