The Rivers State House of Assembly has formally halted impeachment proceedings against Siminalayi Fubara, Governor of Rivers State, and his Deputy, Ngozi Odu.
According to TVC News, the decision followed the adoption of a motion during the Assembly’s resumed sitting on Thursday in Port Harcourt. The motion effectively brought an end to the impeachment process that had heightened political tension in the state.
The development is widely linked to the recent intervention of Bola Tinubu, President of the Nigeria. Reports indicate that the President recently held a closed-door meeting with Governor Fubara, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as well as key leaders of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The decision by the Assembly to suspend the impeachment proceedings suggests a de-escalation of tensions and signals a possible end to the lingering political impasse in the state. Political observers say the move could pave the way for renewed cooperation between the state government and the legislature, restoring stability to governance in Rivers State.
The Assembly has not yet indicated whether further reconciliation measures will be taken, but the latest action is being viewed as a significant step toward lasting political calm in the oil-rich state.
