Rivers State Assembly Begins Impeachment Process Against Fubara
As long predicted, the political crisis in Rivers State is beginning to reach its culmination, as the House of Assembly, yesterday, issued notices of impeachment against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Ordu.
In separate letters, the Assembly, in the notices of impeachment, accused Fubara of abuses and Ordu of misbehaviour.
But Fubara denied the allegations by the Amaewhule-led Assembly that he was frustrating a re-presentation of the 2025 appropriation bill as ordered by the Supreme Court in its recent judgement.
The impeachment letter by the Assembly, dated March 14, 2025, was released yesterday, March 17, morning.
Addressed to the speaker, Martin Amaewhule, and titled, “Notice of Allegations of Gross Misconduct Brought Pursuant to Section 188 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) 1999,” the letter was signed by 26 members of the house.
The letter accused the governor of gross misconduct in the performance of the functions of the office of the governor, including spending public funds contrary to sections 120, 121 and 122 of the constitution.
