you better accept the reality here. We are educated here. Fubara can never be impeach.


Implications of a Rivers State High Court Order Barring the Chief Judge from Receiving an Impeachment Notice

1. The impeachment process in Rivers State is legally suspended.

Once a Rivers State High Court restrains the Chief Judge of Rivers State from receiving or acting on an impeachment notice, the impeachment process under Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is effectively frozen.

Why:

● The Chief Judge’s role is mandatory, not discretionary.
● Without receipt of the notice by the Chief Judge, no investigative panel can be constituted.

Implication:

The Rivers State House of Assembly cannot lawfully move beyond internal discussions or resolutions.

2. The Assembly cannot lawfully bypass the Chief Judge

Under Nigerian constitutional law:

● There is no alternative channel for serving an impeachment notice.
●No acting Chief Judge or substitute body can step in while a court order subsists.

Any attempt to:

● Serve the notice through another official, or

●Continue the process without the Chief Judge
would be null, void, and unconstitutional.

3. The order must be obeyed until set aside

Even if the Assembly believes the court lacks jurisdiction:

● Compliance is mandatory until the order is overturned on appeal.
● Failure to comply exposes:
● Individual lawmakers
● Assembly leadership
● Any cooperating officials

to contempt of court proceedings.

📌 This is settled Nigerian law: court orders are obeyed first, challenged later.

4. The Rivers judiciary is shielded from political pressure

The order protects the institutional independence of the Rivers judiciary by:

● Preventing the Chief Judge from being forced into a politically charged process
● Ensuring due process is judicially reviewed before continuation

Implication:
The Chief Judge cannot lawfully act on, acknowledge, or process any impeachment notice while the order stands.

6. The dispute has shifted from politics to litigation

At this stage, the crisis in Rivers State is no longer primarily political.

The lawful options open are:

●Appeal the High Court ruling
● Apply to set it aside or vary it
●Maintain the status quo pending final determination

Until then, political escalation has no legal footing.

You said more than this when he was pursuing his previous cases and at the end of the day, non went in his favour.

Fiscus105:
Abi since you are not aware of happening outside Ur own village, go to sch you said no, why won't be behaving like stark illiterate in public forum.

Go and do research about Ondo State gov, when he was still deputy governor, when he faced similar situation.

Remember Fubara has gone to the supreme court and they rule against him in all his cases. Is that of Ondo same as River's?

KINGKONG:
The court can temporarily stop a legislator from performing certain duties, but only in limited, lawful circumstances.

Also courts are reluctant to issue injunctions stopping impeachment, but may do so where:
1. There is clear and grave constitutional violation
2. The process is patently illegal

So yes, the court also has a role to play too....

Even when the highest court in Nigeria has found him wanting?

badoh:
Why can't Wike leave this gentleman and allow him to concentrate on governance? If not that you're selfish, almost 90% of all political appointments in Rivers state was nominated by you thus putting the governor in a tight corner. You feel you're untouchable because you're in position of authority today. Remember some people have held those positions before and are no more, know that nothing lasts forever. Your saving grace is because President Tinubu made you FCT minister, if he should remove remove you today, Fubara can stop you from entering Rivers State. Why do you people even feel everything must revolve around you? I understand Fubara might be backtracking on some agreements but if the thing wan choke am for neck, won't he complain?

Stop calling Wike. Nobody is holding him. He doesn't have the required leadership skill to lead a state like Rivers.

Melagros:
COMRADES, this is a welcome development. All the ennemies of the progress of Rivers State and Fubara will bury their faces in shame. That is how the process will delayed till Fubara makes his way to the second term

Obedient, did you vote for him? Were you not one of those crying that Wike has rigged the election? What changed?

Is Nedu Ekweme from Rivers?!What is his business there?

And she still wants to trend with her mother's death. Women, una and camera na only God go do the separation.

kingschariot:
He is accountable to God and not you, are you the one that called him? That’s where men make mistake. God is the judge and rewards every man. Remember judgement will begin in the Household of God, however it is not within the jurisdiction of any man to assume God’s role in this matter. He who has an ear let him hear.

Even kidnappers should be let loose because they accountable to go. Oshi Moshi!

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
I knew a phool will soon have something to say!

Go and call the country that arrested her f**l na . Na only naija una get mouth. Why was she crying in the video? Ibe otu. Otu nkpoku like you

U think say na Naija wey una dey take everything do content.

Does she want to start clitocurrency business?

Bahamas95:
Don't stay in abusive marriage they won't listen.




"What will people say" is the reason why many people, most especially women are in the grave today.

which one is abusive? Do you know the issue? If the woman screwed another man, was that not domestic violence against the man?

Na puna matter go cos this havoc. Probably the woman go srew another man come give the man another man pikin. My Ex has been begging me that she need to have my face in her house. Meaning that I should pregnant her so that the child would be a reminder to her of how we take scatter ourselves at the early stage of our lives. If say I agree I for don drop one for a man house wey no bi in child. Imagine what will happen if the man finds out.

There is nothing with marriage. Is those expired oloshos and gigolos that are the problem

Medicine as a course in Nigeria is now for the children of the rich. They want all their children to be addressed as Dr. And once they offer them admission especially in private universities, they must graduate whether they know something or not; highest, money will exchange hands. Second MB is now for those who have the financial muscle. We never see anything.

No

ogmask:
Na dis visit we take know say wike nor get one single organic follower. Dem pay guys 10k to 15k to attend the rally. My guy, wike, is desperately trying to give the impression of relevance. Some of him people were he plant as chairmen and vice for council don tire for am sef. If you hear the kind things dem say behind him you will pity wike. People are just tired of his style of politics ... Money, violence, intimidation, compromised judiciary and use of force. Ordinarily, wike can not win his local govt area as of today.

Obedient, you go explain tire

ruggedtimi:
pls do your research well...There is a running budget approved by the national assembly during Ibas tenure. The budget runs until august, 2026. Also the assembly members have refused to seat at the newly built assembly quarters which is the recognized building.

Akuko

Obedient data boys at work. There is no lie we have not heard since the impeachment motion was moved. Where is the mock? Emergency lovers of Nigeria; emergency lovers of Fubara.

ZombieDredd:
You that have history, can you stand where she stands?

Hateful person, always envious of people's achievements.

Seek peace with God Almighty

Stand where she stands because she chose to enslave herself in America? Inferiority complex at its zenith. Naija is my country and am proud to be a Nigerian. I am not interested in her job. Has she ever stepped her feet in Imo state? If she has, when was that? Rubbish

weslay:
People should respect boundaries.

Until that person die of suicide, abi?

Indirectly calling on the traders to hike price because of the new tax laws. Hater of Nigeria masquerading as journalist.

Sponsored report by gutter press as usual

This one doesn't have history. Where in Igbo is she from? Or is she Igbo only from her name? Her father was just a sperm donor.

EnEnPeecee:
They should collect their names and Ensure they are not elected into any political position in Rivers again

U think this is Biafra agitation where anyone with opposing view is seen as efulefu

Igbos visited their brother who is in prison and this one called them American delegation. That was how they were shouting about Amazon staff in Obi election case and in reality he was just a labour party candidate in Cross river state.

The gender should better stay in their papa house or better still become a single mother

Those political hawks are now crawling out from their hideout. Fubara is a goner.

43Ronin:
Fubara, decamp to ADC then suspend all of them since they have officially decamped and according to the constitution they should lose their seat. Gbam!

You call for illegality cos the situation is not in your man's favour

Melagros:
COMRADES, Amehule the real boy boy in history of Rivers State. Immunity has covered Fubara now because Tinubu will not allow this crisis to escalate to that level or to destabilise the apc family in Rivers State

APC family that could not give Mr President 20k River state votes in 2023. The junior minister who started all these could not deliver his ward in 2023. How do you think Mr President will sacrifice Wike who delivered him with those political paper-weight?. Fubara is a goner.

Lovit:
Fubara should fight dirty, fight them all

Tinubu won't meddle in this time around

How? Is like you don't know those boys. To those boys, Fubara is just a vegetable.

Fiscus105:
Fubara should go to state court to bar Rivers State chief judge not to constitute panel.

At least that was how, Ayedatiwa escaped from the claws of Akeredolu's wife during his own adversities.

Judiciary cannot stop another arm of government from carrying out it's constitutional recognized responsibilities. The impeachment will sail through.

Iamzik:
All of you shouting agreement and betrayal are not alright. You are worse than the politicians you complain about daily....you just don't have the opportunity yet.

One individual want the governor to pay him 35% of rivers IGR every month and you are here shouting agreement. Which stupid agreement?

Both you and your busybody wike will be disgraced

As they told you. Zombie, that's how your brother played on your intelligence with different narratives in the name of fighting for Biafra
