Lawmakers Plan to Impeach Fubara Over Alleged Misconduct
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Rivers State House of Assembly has officially started the impeachment process against Governor Siminalayi Fubara, the Lawmakers plan to impeach Fubara over allegations of misconduct, reckless spending, and unconstitutional interference in the legislature.

A total of 26 lawmakers signed the impeachment notice, which was submitted to Speaker Martin Amaewhule on Monday. According to the lawmakers, their action is based on Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which provides the legal process for removing a governor.

This move has further deepened the political crisis in Rivers State, sparking concerns about governance and stability.

Allegations Leading to Fubara’s Impeachment Attempt

The lawmakers accused Governor Fubara of several constitutional violations, including:

  • Reckless and unconstitutional spending of public funds.
  • Blocking the Rivers State House of Assembly from carrying out its constitutional duties.
  • Making appointments without legislative approval.
  • Withholding salaries and allowances meant for the Assembly and its staff.
  • Targeting Clerk Emeka Amadi by stopping his salary payments.

Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu was also accused of supporting illegal government appointments, further fueling tensions between the executive and legislative arms.

Speaker Amaewhule Triggers Impeachment Process

After receiving the notice, Speaker Martin Amaewhule officially notified Governor Fubara and demanded his response. Citing Section 188(3) of the Constitution, he reminded the governor that the House must decide within 14 days whether to proceed with a formal investigation.

The Speaker’s statement made it clear that the impeachment process will move forward, whether or not Fubara responds. He also urged the governor to take the matter seriously, adding a formal yet weighty phrase—his “esteemed regards.”

Impeachment or Political Game?

This impeachment attempt raises major questions about the real motive behind the lawmakers’ actions. Just recently, the Rivers Assembly shut down indefinitely due to political tensions. But suddenly, the same lawmakers have returned in full force just to impeach Fubara.

Was the “indefinite shutdown” merely a short break to strategize? The timing makes it look like a carefully planned move.
