Rivers Assembly Pushes Ahead With Fubara’s Impeachment, Escalating Political Showdown

Lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly have confirmed that plans to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara will go ahead, signalling a sharp escalation in the political crisis rocking the state.

The declaration was made on Friday during an ongoing press conference in Port Harcourt, where members of the Assembly said they were undeterred by the prolonged standoff between the legislature and the governor.

The announcement comes amid a deepening power struggle that has paralysed governance in Rivers State, with both sides locked in a bitter face-off that has drawn national attention.

Although the Assembly did not immediately disclose the specific grounds for the impeachment move, the decision marks a decisive moment in the conflict, raising fresh questions about political stability in the oil-producing state.

Governor Fubara and the lawmakers have been at loggerheads for months, with tensions repeatedly spilling into the public space and fuelling uncertainty among residents and investors.

As events continue to unfold, political observers say the coming days could prove critical, with possible legal battles and federal intervention looming if the crisis worsens.
