In a surprising twist to Rivers State’s lingering political crisis, both the, All Progressives Congress (APC) and groups within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have swiftly rejected the latest impeachment proceedings initiated by the state House of Assembly against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu.
The Rivers State House of Assembly served the impeachment notice primarily due to allegations of gross misconductby Governor Fubara, centred on financial irregularities, reckless spending, failure to present the 2026 budget, obstruction of legislative functions, and non-compliance with court rulings on autonomy, issues tied to the ongoing power struggle with Nyesom Wike and perceived breaches of peace accords brokered by President Tinubu.
