The Rivers State House of Assembly has issued another impeachment threat to the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, disclosed this on Saturday during a media briefing in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The Speaker was flanked by 26 of his colleagues.
The assembly said it “will not hesitate to impeach Fubara, if it becomes the last resort to uphold the Constitution.”
This is as the 27 lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, took a swipe at the former Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, led by Dr Abiye Sekibo, over its recent attack on Wike.
In 2023, the lawmakers had threatened to impeach the governor following his face-off with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
However in December, 26 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly withdrew their impeachment notice against Fubara, stating that the decision was made out of respect for President Bola Tinubu who had convened a reconciliation meeting between the warring parties.
President Tinubu had brokered a peace deal between Fubara and his predecessor, Wike.
