The Rivers State House of Assembly has suspended impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminialayi Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Ordu, following the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaker Martin Amaewhule announced the decision during plenary, informing lawmakers that the withdrawal of the impeachment move was in response to the President’s intervention aimed at easing political tensions in the state.
He further disclosed that all pending court cases filed by the governor, his deputy, and the Rivers State House of Assembly have also been withdrawn as part of efforts to restore stability and foster cooperation among the arms of government.
The lawmakers expressed hope that the governor and his deputy would henceforth conduct their affairs strictly in line with constitutional provisions and work harmoniously with the Assembly in the interest of the state.
