Some members of the Rivers State House of Assembly have described the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara as a mistake, questioning both the process and the charges brought against him. The lawmakers issued the statement amid ongoing political tension in the state, highlighting concerns over procedural lapses and the need for proper verification of the alleged offences.

Speaking on the matter, one legislator said, “The impeachment of Governor Fubara at this stage is a mistake. We must ensure that all due processes are followed and that any accusations are fully verified before action is taken.” The statement reflects the lawmakers’ insistence that the assembly must uphold the rule of law while addressing claims of misconduct.

The impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara were initiated amid allegations of financial mismanagement and other administrative irregularities. Lawmakers emphasized that while accountability is important, the process must be transparent and grounded in verifiable facts. The assembly has not yet concluded hearings, and the full list of alleged offences remains under review.

Observers note that the impeachment has generated significant attention within the state, with citizens and political stakeholders closely monitoring developments. Lawmakers maintain that due process is essential to preserve public trust and ensure that any action taken is legally sound.

The House of Assembly indicated that further deliberations and hearings would continue in the coming weeks. Lawmakers are expected to provide updates as the process unfolds and additional evidence is examined.
