Rivers State Government Dismisses Impeachment Notice Against Governor Fubara, Deputy

The Rivers State government has refuted claims of an impeachment notice being formally served to Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu. According to the state government, no official communication has been received from the Rivers State House of Assembly regarding allegations of gross misconduct against the governor and his deputy.

The controversy stems from a notice issued by the state assembly on March 14, 2025, which outlined various allegations against Governor Fubara and Professor Odu. The notice, signed by 26 lawmakers and led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule, accused the governor of reckless spending, obstructing legislative functions, and making unauthorized appointments, among other charges. The assembly, dominated by 27 lawmakers aligned with former Governor Nyesom Wike, has been at the center of the political dispute.

On Monday, Speaker Amaewhule announced that the impeachment notice had been formally transmitted to Governor Fubara and his deputy. He referenced Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which requires that impeachment allegations be supported by at least one-third of the assembly members. The speaker also directed the governor and his deputy to respond to the allegations within the constitutionally mandated 14-day period.

Despite these developments, the Rivers State government maintains that the impeachment notice was not officially addressed to Governor Fubara, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the process. The political tension in the state continues to escalate as both sides prepare for further legal and legislative maneuvers.
