Fubara Faces Fresh Impeachment Threat
Martin Amaewhule, the speaker of the Rivers House of Assembly, has said at a press conference attended by other lawmakers that they might resurge impeachment plot against Governor Siminalayi Fubara, due to his refusal to present the state’s budget for approval.
He said, “It is worthy of note that the notice of impeachment of the governor was quickly withdrawn by members of the house in fulfilment of the terms of the agreement and out of immense respect for the person and office of the president of the Federal Republic and believing that there would be a u-turn in terms of unlawful actions of the governor.
“The reverse is now the case as we see from day to day the activities of the state governor been conducted outside the laws of Rivers state and the constitution.
“To this day, Rivers state remains the only state without an appropriation law.
“So, if it becomes a last resort, in accordance with the law, we will not hesitate to do so because no individual is bigger than Rivers state, including the governor.”
