Rivers Assembly Halts Impeachment of Governor Fubara

The Rivers State House of Assembly has decided to halt the impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara. This decision was made during a plenary session in Port Harcourt on Thursday, following a significant intervention from President Bola Tinubu.

The assembly also extended a similar impeachment threat to Deputy Governor Professor Ngozi Odu. The motion to stop the impeachment process was a gesture aimed at restoring peace and compliance with resolutions reached during a recent high-level meeting in Abuja.

The political climate in Rivers State has been tense, primarily due to power struggles between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike. Earlier this year, the assembly had issued a notice of gross misconduct against the governor, indicating the severity of the political situation.

The latest developments are a result of extensive reconciliation efforts brokered by President Tinubu to prevent further breakdown of law and order in the state.
