After 26 lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly backed an impeachment notice against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, two more legislators have pulled out of the plot, calling instead for a political solution to the ongoing crisis
Hon. Barile Nwakoh of Khana Constituency I and Hon. Emilia Amadi of Obio/Akpor Constituency II urged their colleagues to halt the impeachment proceedings, stressing that dialogue and diplomacy could better address tensions between the executive and legislative branches of the state government.
Two more lawmakers pulls out of Fubara’s impeachment process
Speaking at a press conference in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, Hon. Nwakoh said:
“We speak for ourselves and not for the House of Assembly. While we were part of the notice of allegation of gross misconduct against the governor and deputy governor, we have been urged by Rivers leaders and people to seek a political solution rather than pursue impeachment. This is not a sign of weakness but a demonstration of a forgiving heart and a commitment to constructive governance
