Amid the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has suggested that the “the ultimate goal is impeachment and not peace”.

Sani was reacting to the lastest development in the state after Governor Siminalayi Fubara was denied access to the State House of Assembly.

“The ultimate goal in Rivers is impeachment and not peace; what happens afterwards is left to God,” Sani said.


DAILY POST reported that Fubara was on Wednesday denied access to the Rivers State House of Assembly quarters, where lawmakers were holding plenary sessions.

DAILY POST gathered that Fubara arrived at the Assembly quarters to present the state 2025 budget but was met with a locked gate, preventing his entry.

Recall that the governor had earlier pledged to implement the Supreme Court judgment, which includes the formal presentation of the 2024 budget.

Meanwhile Fubara has accused the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule of deliberately avoiding him.

Fubara said he had called Amaewhule severally before the incident but the Speaker refused to answer.
