BREAKING: Four Rivers Lawmakers Make U-Turn, Support Gov Fubara’s Impeachment [VIDEO]

Rivers State House of Assembly on Friday reaffirmed its commitment to continue the impeachment process against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.

This follows a dramatic reversal by four lawmakers who had earlier withdrawn and have now declared their backing for the impeachment process.

Speaking at a live press conference in Port Harcourt, the lawmakers accused Fubara of blackmail and said he had lost the trust needed to resolve the ongoing crisis in the oil-rich state.

They also alleged that the governor had violated the 1999 Constitution, leaving the legislature with no choice but to exercise its power to remove him from office.

The lawmakers further claimed that both Fubara and his deputy had engaged in attempts to intimidate the House.

Despite the tensions, they thanked President Bola Tinubu for intervening in the crisis and urged Speaker Martin Amaewhule to reconvene the House promptly.

The four members who had previously called for a political solution recanted their earlier position, formally declaring their support for the impeachment process to proceed.

Following the press conference, lawmakers proceeded to the Assembly chambers to commence a parliamentary session.

At plenary, the members unanimously voted to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against Fubara and his deputy, signalling a strong push to hold the governor and his deputy accountable.
