JUST IN: RIVERS ASSEMBLY MEMBERS ACCUSE GOVERNOR FUBARA, DEPUTY OF GROSS MISCONDUCT AMID IMPEACHMENT THREATS

Tensions have escalated in Rivers State as members of the State House of Assembly have accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy of gross misconduct, fueling fresh impeachment threats. The lawmakers, in a session held on March 16, 2025, raised allegations of financial mismanagement, abuse of office, and disregard for legislative oversight, signaling a deepening rift between the executive and legislative arms of government.

Sources within the Assembly reveal that impeachment proceedings could be initiated if the accusations are not adequately addressed. The development comes amid ongoing political power struggles in the state, with various factions battling for dominance.

Governor Fubara’s administration, however, has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated, urging the lawmakers to focus on governance rather than partisan conflicts. Meanwhile, political observers warn that the crisis could destabilize the state’s administration if not carefully managed.

As the situation unfolds, Rivers residents and stakeholders are watching closely, anticipating the next moves from both the governor and the legislature.
