Again, Rivers Assembly threatens to impeach Fubara

The Rivers State House of Assembly on Saturday threatened to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The Speaker of the Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, disclosed this at a media briefing in Port Harcourt.

Amaewhule, who was flanked by 26 of his colleagues, said the assembly “will not hesitate to impeach Fubara, if it becomes the last resort to uphold the Constitution.”

Amaewhule accused Fubara of refusing to abide by all the Abuja peace agreements, pointing out that the governor has continued to act outside the law, including running the state without an approved budget.

He also took a swipe at the former Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, led by Dr Abiye Sekibo, over its recent attack on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

He stated, “We begin by announcing to you that sponsored attacks on the House have failed woefully.”
