The Rivers State House of Assembly has halted impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, following a series of legal and political complications surrounding the process.
The impeachment effort, which began in early January, had faced mounting challenges that slowed its progress and intensified political tensions within the state.
The decision to suspend the process marks a temporary pause in the escalating political crisis that has dominated Rivers State’s political landscape in recent weeks.
According to the report, the proceedings had encountered “legal and political hurdles” since their initiation, contributing to the Assembly’s decision to stop further action for now.
While details of the circumstances leading to the suspension were not immediately disclosed, the development signals a possible shift in the ongoing power struggle involving the state’s executive and legislative arms.
Further updates are expected as the situation evolves.
