Political Tension Escalates in River State Assembly Amid Impeachment Proceedings

The River State House of Assembly failed to resume its session after initiating impeachment proceedings against Deputy Speaker Ngozi Odu for alleged gross misconduct, including unauthorized expenditures and the demolition of the assembly complex. Governor Fubara was given seven days to respond to the allegations.

Top government officials anonymously ridiculed lawmakers, hinting at a failed political maneuver. Rumors of an attempted impeachment of Speaker Amaewhule were also mentioned.
