The Rivers State House of Assembly has again commenced impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The lawmakers began the process during plenary on Thursday, accusing the governor and his deputy of gross misconduct. The move marks the latest development in the prolonged political crisis rocking the state.
Although details of the alleged misconduct were not immediately made public, the Assembly’s action signals a renewed escalation of tensions between the executive and the legislature.
Recall that previous attempts to initiate impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara had deepened divisions within the state’s political landscape, drawing national attention and interventions from key political stakeholders.
As of the time of filing this report, the state government has yet to officially respond to the latest development. Further actions by the Assembly are expected in the coming days as the impeachment process unfolds.
