By Davies Iheamnachor, PORT HARCOURT

Rivers State House of Assembly has served a notice of misconduct against Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and his deputy, Professor Ngozi Odu.

The state lawmakers, in the notice on March 16, claimed that their action was in line with the Nigerian Constitution.

The notice read in part: “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.”

Rivers facing gloomy future – Rivers govt
Meanwhile, the Rivers State Government has expressed concerns over a bleak future for its people, citing the uncooperative stance of the Martins Amaewhule-led Rivers State House of Assembly.

The government claims this is obstructing the full implementation of the Supreme Court’s judgment on the ongoing political crisis in the state.

The statement was made on Monday in Port Harcourt, shortly after the state assembly issued a notice of gross misconduct to Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu.

Addressing the press, the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, accused the assembly of deliberately preventing the execution of the court’s ruling.

Johnson stated: “It is now common knowledge that members of the Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule-led Rivers State House of Assembly have, by their actions, refused to allow the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency Sir (Dr.) Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, to fully implement the Supreme Court’s judgment on the prolonged political and legal battle that began after the failed attempt to impeach him on October 30, 2023.” Read the full story HERE
