The Minority Leader of the House, Sylvanus Nwankwo, representing Omuma State Constituency, and Peter Abbey, representing Degema State Constituency, had recently announced their withdrawal from the impeachment move and appealed to their colleagues to halt it.

Subsequently, the Deputy Minority Leader, Barile Nwakoh, who represents Khana Constituency I, and Emilia Amadi, who represents Obio/Akpor Constituency II, followed suit.

However, at a press conference held by the State House of Assembly members on Friday, the four lawmakers said the governor has not shown any reason for them to back down.

The Rivers State House Assembly insisted that the governor and his deputy must be impeached, adding that their removal will avert a breakdown of law and order.
