Governor Siminialayi Fubara of Rivers State has been served an impeachment notice by a majority of the State’s lawmakers. A total of 24 out of the 32 members of the Rivers Assembly have taken this drastic step.
According to a report by The Nation, the lawmakers initiated the impeachment process following the removal and suspension of House Leader Edison Ehie, who is believed to be aligned with the Governor’s administration. These decisions were made during an emergency sitting held on Monday morning.
The impromptu session took place between 7am and 9am on Monday 30th October.
Although newsmen were barred from the sitting, The Nation gathered that all the 24 members who signed the impeachment notice were present.
Ehie was not present at the sitting but later came in with the Governor.
However the action had already been concluded as the lawmakers left the Assembly complex through the second gates before Fubara and Ehie were allowed access to the complex.
