The Rivers State House of Assembly, on Thursday, suspended the impeachment proceedings initiated against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu.
The decision was taken during the Assembly’s resumed plenary in Port Harcourt, the state capital, where lawmakers moved a motion to halt the impeachment process.
The House had earlier commenced impeachment proceedings against the governor and his deputy during its first sitting of 2026, citing allegations of gross misconduct.
Among the allegations were the demolition of the State House of Assembly complex and the approval of expenditures without legislative authorisation, among other claims.
