Impeachment looming as Rivers State House of Assembly has finally accused Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy Ngozi Odu of gross misconduct.
The members raised the allegation in a notice sent to the speaker Martin Amaewhule.
According to them, the action was in line with the Nigerian Constitution.
“In compliance with Section 188 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and other extant laws, we the undersigned members of the Rivers State House of Assembly hereby forward to you a Notice of Gross Misconduct by the Deputy Governor of Rivers State in the performance of the functions of her office,” the notice read.
“You are requested to reply to the allegations made against you in the said Notice of
Allegations of Gross Misconduct accordingly.
“In doing this, your attention is drawn to the
provisions of Section 188(3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as
amended), which provides thus: “within 14 days of the presentation of the notice to the
Speaker of the House of Assembly (whether or not any statement made by holder of the office
in reply to the allegation contained in the notice) the House of Assembly shall resolve by
motion, without any debate whether or not the allegation shall be investigated.”
Conclusion
Mr. Speaker, we conclude by stating that the Governor has shown that
he is not prepared to govern Rivers State in line with the Constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and his oath of
office. The Supreme Court in Suit No.: SC/CV/1174/2024 condemned
his actions when it stated that “the 8th respondents fear of
impeachment by the House of Assembly is no justification for his
attacks on the House of Assembly, the Constitution, the
Government of Rivers State and the rule of law. Political
disagreements cannot justify these attacks and contempt for the
rule of law by the Governor of a State or any person. What the 8th
respondent has done is to destroy the government because of fear
of being impeached”
SIGNED BY THE UNDERLISTED MEMBERS OF THE RIVERS STATE
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, THIS 14TH DAY OF MARCH 2025
The notice was signed by all the Rivers lawmakers.
