Lawmakers Withdraw From Impeachment Petition Against River State Governor, Momentum Shifts Towards Reconciliation
In River State, Nigeria, the impeachment move against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Ngozi Odu is losing momentum as more lawmakers, including Baril Nwakoh and Emilia Amadi, withdraw from the process. The withdrawals come amidst calls for peace and political stability in the state.
The River State House of Assembly is facing a deepening political crisis, prompting some members like Sylvanu Nwankwo and Peter Abbei to publicly urge colleagues to halt the impeachment process. The withdrawals signal a growing unease within the assembly and a shift towards reconciliation rather than escalation.
The situation is expected to be further clarified during the plenary session on January 15, 2026.
