The political crisis in Rivers State intensified on Thursday as the Rivers State House of Assembly commenced fresh impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu, issuing them a seven-day notice to respond to allegations of gross misconduct.
At a plenary session presided over by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, the House stated that the impeachment action was triggered by Governor Fubara’s alleged refusal to present the 2026 Appropriation Bill for legislative consideration.
