The decision is imminent, with a retired military chief on standby to take charge of affairs in the troubled state, Aso Rock sources said.
The impeachment notice is the latest impasse between Mr Fubara and the pro-Wike lawmakers.
Mojeed Owoade, who chaired the 11-man panel, said the Supreme Court’s judgement failed to address and explicitly state the position of the law on the defection.
The governor had earlier written to the House on Thursday, requesting to present the state budget on March 19.
Mr Tobins noted that the documents were transmitted to RSIEC in a letter marked INEC/RV/SVR/498/155.
With the indefinite adjournment of plenary, Mr Fubara’s second proposed attempt to present the budget to them is now uncertain.

He claimed that Mr Wike’s comments if left unchecked, could harm President Bola Tinubu’s chances of re-election in 2027.
“No matter the depth of our differences, we believe the interests of the state and our people should take priority over political conflicts,” Mr Fubara stated.

“Given his eight-year tenure as governor of Rivers, we expected a more informed understanding of the state’s history,” the INC said.
To ensure the successful impeachment of Mr Fubara, the lawmakers loyal to Mr Wike are seeking to discredit Mr Amadi, directing the SSS to investigate his age.
