Rivers State House of Assembly on Friday vowed to continue with the impeachment process against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.

 

The lawmakers who addressed a live press conference in Port Harcourt accused Fubara of blackmail, saying he lacked the trust needed to address the crisis rocking the oil-rich state.

 

 

They accused the governor of infringing on the 1999 Constitution, saying the parliament was left with no other choice but to apply their legislative power by impeaching him from office.

 

 

The lawmakers also claimed the governor and his deputy had resorted to intimidating the parliament.

 

 

They, however, thanked President Bola Tinubu for wading into the crisis.

 

 

They also called on the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, to reconvene the House.
