Rivers Assembly In Disarray Over Gov. Fubara's Impeachment by Politicstoday(op): 1:51pm On Mar 06, 2025
RIVERS ASSEMBLY IN DISARRAY OVER GOV. FUBARA'S IMPEACHMENT

The Supreme Court judgment on the Rivers State political crisis has thrown the Martin Amaewhule-led House of Assembly into deeper division, as plans to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara have sparked internal chaos.

Inside sources reveal that tensions escalated during plenary when deliberations on extending a 48-hour ultimatum against the Governor took an unexpected twist. One lawmaker pushed for immediate impeachment proceedings, but his colleague from the Ijaw extraction vehemently opposed the move, setting off a heated argument.

Another legislator, apparently taking directives from someone he tagged "Oga," likely to be the minister of F.C.T, Chief Nyesom Wike insisted they must follow instructions, Amaewhule had to grant another 48-hour extension to calm the situation. But the chaos didn't end there.

Sources further disclosed that five lawmakers, allegedly favoured by the FCT Minister, broke away after plenary for a closed-door meeting while others waited, fueling speculations of a deepening rift.

The lawmakers from Ijaw extraction strongly opposed the impeachment bid, arguing that it was a ploy to push the Governorship ambition of Martin Amaewhule, an Ikwerre son from Obio/Akpor. To them, this was not just an attack on Fubara but an orchestrated power grab designed to keep Rivers State under the control of the same political dynasty.

As it stands, Rivers people are watching closely. Who blinks first?

If fubara fails to break their ranks, then he deserves to be impeached.

So this is Fubara tactics?

Fubara want to divide and conquer 😀😀😀,

Anyways he is going to offer them huge sums of money maybe 2bn each lawmaker that's should do. To impeach, they need 1/3 of the house that's like 10 to support the motion detailing Govs Judas gross misconduct.

Secondly after Panel is set by CJ, even if panel finds Gov Judas guilty, the report of the panel must be adopted by motion by atleast 2/3 of the house which is like 20 lawmakers for Gov Judas to stand impeached

Gov Judas will do well to buy some members to his side. 20 members each 2bn😄😄 FCT emperor no go fit commot that money for now

If fubara knows what he's doing, let him turn the tide. bribe the guys to impeach the amaehule clown. He has excess money. Just share contract for everyone on the condition that amaehule is impeached. I believe the jaws are in majority

grin

Those Ijaw lawmakers know the drill..

If Fubara is impeached under their noses, and Martin becomes Governor,
they must consider themselves outcasts from Ijaw land..

Never to set foot again.

Their families will be hunted down to their villages..
They can't fuccck with Ijaw militants and they know.

They know the drill.

Whoever is writing this is just doing it for fun.
The constitution demands that where a governor is impeached, the deputy governor takes the place of the governor and they find a replacement for the office of the deputy governor.
It's impossible for the Speaker to take the position of the governor except they also want to impeach the deputy governor as well.
The house knows this and even Woke knows this. Nobody can do otherwise.
Whatever they do will be by the rules .

You get sense. If with all the resources and power that Sim Fubara has, he is not able to break the ranks and move a good number of the guys to his side, then he is not fit for that position

If money can buy them then he would have done that long time ago.
Apart from being the governor which may last for maybe 8y years, he can project them anywhere. They are in the long run with Wike and its what we call the goodwill of Wike. There's a point in time, money can buy someone.

Fubara does not need 20 members, he only needs 11 to deny pro Wike guys of the 2/3 majority

Total rubbish from the camp of the clueless. The rumour always peddled by empty-headed people that if Fubara is impeached, Speaker Amaewhule will become the governor, is a reflection that more needs to be done in our educational system. If such an intention existed, Fubara wouldn't have been picked in the first place. Weak people always obsessed with tribe. No doubt in the future, he can aspire for the position, but it is not a plan now.
