The Rivers State House of Assembly has reiterated its resolve to proceed with the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.
At a live press briefing in Port Harcourt on Friday, the lawmakers accused Fubara of engaging in blackmail and argued that he no longer enjoys the confidence required to resolve the political turmoil in the oil-producing state.
They further alleged that the governor violated provisions of the 1999 Constitution, stressing that the legislature had no option but to exercise its constitutional authority by initiating impeachment proceedings.
