Pro-Wike Rivers assembly lawmakers withdraw impeachment notice against Gov Fubara
The pro-Nyesom Wike Rivers House of Assembly lawmakers have withdrawn the impeachment notice served on Governor Siminialayi Fubara.
Martin Amaewhule, the parliament speaker, announced this at Wednesday’s plenary at the auditorium of the assembly’s residential quarters in Port Harcourt.
Mr Amaewhule read the withdrawal notice and said the action followed the intervention of President Bola Tinubu.
“Following the agreement reached on December 18 at the instance of President Bola Tinubu, the house has withdrawn the notice of impeachment it earlier served on the governor.
“The house would also abide by the agreements and advice of the president. This is a mark of immense respect by members,” he said.
The Rivers lawmakers had relocated to the auditorium of the assembly’s residential quarters to give way for the renovation of the assembly complex.
