We will impeach Governor Fubara if face off with Wike continues & to uphold constitution— Rivers state House of Assembly

Rivers State House of Assembly has threatened that it would impeach the state governor, Sim Fubara if that becomes the last resort.

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

In 2023, the lawmakers had threatened to impeach the governor following his face-off with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

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

The threat is coming as the 27 lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, took a swipe at the former Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, led by Dr Abiye Sekibo, over its recent attack on Wike.

In December, 26 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly had withdrawn their impeachment notice against Fubara.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 floor of the House 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.

President Tinubu had brokered a peace deal between Fubara and his predecessor, Wike.

Amaopusenibo Siminalayi “Sim” Joseph Black-Fubara (born 28 January 1975), is the Governor of Rivers State, Nigeria.

He previously served as Accountant general of the Rivers State, Nigeria.

He is an ethnic Ibani-Ijaw, and was born in Opobo Town in the Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area of Rivers State.
