Here's my take:

I strongly believe that Governor Fubara's impeachment is inevitable. Despite claims that it's impossible without the Chief Judge's involvement, I think the law is clear: a governor can be impeached without the Chief Judge's participation, according to Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria [1]. The State House of Assembly has the power to investigate allegations and impeach the governor with a two-thirds majority vote.

Personally, I think Fubara's actions have been reckless, and his challenge to Wike's influence has sealed his fate. With Wike regaining his voice and making noise, it's clear that Fubara's camp is on shaky ground. The petition by the House to the DSS against the Chief Judge for age falsification is just another indication that Fubara's time is running out.

In my opinion, Fubara's fate is all but sealed. I predict that the Chief Judge's potential arrest and detention by the DSS, followed by the House of Assembly's investigation and impeachment, will be the final nail in the coffin. And if Fubara tries to cause violence or disrupt the peace, I have no doubt he'll be arrested immediately. Tinubu's influence will likely come into play, and Fubara's chances of survival are slim to none.

As someone who's watched Nigerian politics closely, I can attest that alliances are fleeting, and loyalty is a luxury few can afford. Fubara's situation is a perfect example of this. In my view, it's only a matter of time before he's impeached.

My prediction: The Chief Judge of Rivers State will be arrest and detain by the DSS. The House of assembly will investigate the governor and go ahead to impeached him, FUBARA can go to court. Then Tinubu finishes the work.

Bone go soon hang for una throat.
You think say na draft you dey play?
Arrest Chief Judge, impeach Fubara, shoot supporters, and everything will be like eldorado.., very peaceful and cool..?

Keep over estimating your abilities

YOU ARE WRONG!
THE POWER TO REMOVE A GOVERNOR LIES SOLELY IN THE HANDS OF HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY MEMBERS AND A STATE CHIEF JUDGE.
That section 188 subsection 5 states clearly the duty of a state Chief Judge during impeachment proceedings.
WITH THE STATE CHIEF JUDGE ON FUBARA' SIDE, HIS IMPEACHMENT IS LIKELY IMPOSSIBLE.
SO FUBARA SHOULD FIGHT HARD FOR THE PROTECTION OF HIS STATE CHIEF JUDGE BECAUSE IF HE LOOSES HIM, HE LOOSES THE SEAT.
Beside, which of the 27 House members did not falsify his age or credentials? It's allegation, no evidence chief Judge erred. Wike must allow Fubara to finish his term like Ambode.
Wike is not God, he should stop the nonsense he is into

You ended up saying nothing. Show us where the constitution gave the house powers to impeach a Governor without the CJ panel Okaying it.

Step 6: Within three months, The Judicial panel is expected to report its findings to the State House of Assembly.

During the proceedings of the Panel, the Governor shall have a right to defend himself or have the right to be defended by a legal practitioner.

Step 7: Where the allegations of gross misconduct against the governor can not be proven, the impeachment proceedings shall end right there.

Step by step on how to impeach State Governor in Nigeria.

https://thenationonlineng.net/explainer-step-by-step-process-for-impeaching-a-state-governor-in-nigeria/

Impeachment is when elected government officials such as the President, Vice-President, Governors, and Deputy Governors are lawfully removed from office before the end of the tenure of office if found guilty of gross misconduct.

The legislative arm of government in a nation is saddled with the responsibility of impeaching government executives who are found guilty of gross misconduct.

The process of impeaching a state governor in Nigeria is contained in Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution.

Under certain terms and conditions, a Governor may be replaced by another, for example through death, impeachment or if an election is annulled.

Here are the steps below:

Step 1: A written allegation of gross misconduct against the governor must be signed by at least one-third of the members of the State House of Assembly and presented to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly.

Step 2: Within seven days, the Speaker of the House of Assembly is expected to serve the state governor with a copy of the notice of allegation.

Step 3: The governor has a right to reply to the allegation levelled against him. The state lawmakers must be served each with the response from the governor.

Step 4: Within 14 days of the presentation of the notice to the Speaker of the House, they shall resolve by motion without any debate whether or not the allegation shall be investigated.

The motion must be passed by at least a two-thirds majority of all members of the State House of Assembly.

Step 5: If the motion fails to get two-thirds, the process shall be halted. If the required votes are met, then the Speaker shall within 7 days of the passing of the motion, request the Chief Judge of the State to appoint a Panel to investigate the allegations.

Members of the panel should not have a political affiliation

Step 6: Within three months, The panel is expected to report its findings to the State House of Assembly.

During the proceedings of the Panel, the Governor shall have a right to defend himself or have the right to be defended by a legal practitioner.

Step 7: Where the allegations of gross misconduct against the governor can not be proven, the impeachment proceedings shall end right there.

If the allegations can be substantiated, the House of Assembly shall consider the report and a resolution for adoption of the report shall be moved.

Step 8: At least two-thirds of members of the House of Assembly must vote in support of the resolution to be adopted and the governor shall be impeached while his motion to swear in his deputy shall be moved immediately and adopted.

Gov. Fayose was illegally impeached in 2006. The SC nullified the so-called impeachment.
Ask why the SC nullified the impeachment...


It said that the impeachment panel was illegal and so the outcome of the impeachment was a nullity, adding that the illegal Ekiti Acting Chief Judge who presided over the impeachment panel had been dismissed.

What will become the fate of RSHA if they proceed with any impeachment process without the State CJ setting up a panel and giving Gov. Sim Fubara and his deputy a chance to defend themselves?

Your answer is as good as mine.

A nullity

You're behaving like a conquered person

You are an emotional APC supporter so there is no way your suggestions will be neutral.

You can still do further by giving an example where any assembly impeached a governor or his deputy without the chief judge and it was sustained.

Most of you are the people who leads your clients into a very terrible situation as legal advocate.

Go and study more my dear you are just a toddler in the legal profession.

Come and impeach him let's see.The 7 man investigative panel is going to return a no guilty verdict.

. In Nigeria, the process of impeaching a governor is outlined in Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution. While the Chief Judge plays a role in the impeachment process, it is possible for the governor to be impeached without the Chief Judge's direct involvement ¹.

Here's a breakdown of the impeachment process:

- *Step 1: Notice of Allegation*: A written notice of allegation of gross misconduct against the governor must be signed by at least one-third of the members of the State House of Assembly and presented to the Speaker ².
- *Step 2: Investigation*: The Speaker must serve the governor with a copy of the notice, and the governor has a right to reply. The State House of Assembly then resolves by motion whether to investigate the allegation ².
- *Step 3: Panel Investigation*: If the motion passes, the Speaker requests the Chief Judge to appoint a panel to investigate the allegations. However, if the Chief Judge is unavailable or unable to perform this duty, the process can still proceed ¹.
- *Step 4: Impeachment*: If the panel finds the governor guilty of gross misconduct, the State House of Assembly can impeach the governor with a two-thirds majority vote ².

In summary, while the Chief Judge plays a role in the impeachment process, the governor can still be impeached without the Chief Judge's direct involvement, as the State House of Assembly can proceed with the investigation and impeachment process without the Chief Judge's participation, hope U get it bro, Ur governor is going down, after the impeachment U will get me a drink lol

You are a terrible liar!!! Show me the link to the section in the constitution where it says the process can still continue if the CJ is not available!! There can be no impeachment of a Governor without the Chief Judge

Once the 7 man investigative panel finds the Governor not guilty, the impeachment process ends.

They are all selfish and fighting for their own interests only.

I could see that you are all quoting Nigeria constitution as if it is something important. Even the Lawyers and Judges always argue about most what is written in it. It is full of garbage.

I just hope one day, we would unite and take back our Country from these people.
