Rivers Impeachment Plot Put On Hold
The Rivers State House of Assembly has suspended impeachment moves against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, bringing a sudden pause to the tense political standoff in the state.
The decision followed days of uncertainty over the lawmakers’ next step.
The Assembly stepped back from the process after internal consultations among members and party leaders.
Lawmakers said the move was aimed at easing tension and allowing room for dialogue.
The impeachment push had stirred anxiety across Rivers, with political observers warning of deepening divisions within the state’s leadership.
Supporters of the governor had called for calm while urging a peaceful resolution.
For now, the halt offers temporary relief, but the political situation remains delicate.
Stakeholders are watching closely to see whether reconciliation efforts will hold or if the crisis will resurface.
