Governor Fubara, Deputy Ngozi Odu
The Rivers State House of Assembly has served a notice of alleged misconduct against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy Ngozi Odu.
This is the first step in the expected impeachment proceedings against the duo. Their impeachment, if it sails through, will see the Speaker of the pro-Wike House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, assuming the role of Acting Governor.
The lawmakers and Governor Fubara have been engaged in intrigues and manoeuvres, with the lawmakers last week locking out the Governor when he came to present the 2025 Budget to them and hastily adjourning indefinitely.
Fubara’s estranged political godfather, FCT Minister Nyesome Wike, late said over the weekend that he would not stop the lawmakers from impeaching the embattled Governor.
