As members of the State House of Assembly began the impeachment process against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Oduh, on Thursday, the political landscape in Rivers State changed once more.

The notice outlining accusations of egregious misbehavior against Governor Fubara was formally read by Major Jack, the Majority Leader of the House, at a plenary session chaired by Speaker Martins Amaewhule.

26 MPs supported the notice, which charged the governor with allegedly violating the Nigerian Constitution.

Amaewhule declared that the governor will get the notice within the following seven days.

Linda Stewart, the Deputy Majority Leader, read the notice of charges and serious misconduct against Deputy Governor Ngozi Oduh during that same meeting.
