The Rivers State House of Assembly has made it clear that it will not hesitate to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara, if it has to be the last resort to uphold the Constitution.
Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule, who stated this at a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Saturday, was flanked by 26 of his colleagues.
This comes as the 27 lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, took a swipe at the former Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 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.
But in December 2023, 26 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly had withdrawn their impeachment notice against Fubara.
This was contained in the notice of withdrawal read on the house floor on Wednesday.
They said the decision was made out of respect for President Bola Tinubu who had convened a reconciliation meeting between the warring parties.
