Impeachment: Rivers Assembly Fails To Reconvene by Newsgeek24(op): 2:29pm On Jan 15

The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, failed to resume plenary on Thursday, a week after adjourning its last sitting.

Very Nigerian reports that during its first sitting in 2026, held last Thursday, the House had commenced impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, over alleged gross misconduct, including the demolition of the state assembly complex and spending without legislative approval, among other charges. The sitting was adjourned until January 15, 2026.

However, as of noon on Thursday, January 15, 2026, our correspondent who visited the assembly observed that there was no sign that the House, which presently holds sittings at the conference hall of its official legislative quarters along Aba Road, would reconvene.

No explanation has been provided for the delay, nor has a date for resumption been announced.

Efforts to reach the House Chairman on Information, Petitions, and Complaints, Eneme George, for clarification proved unsuccessful.

He neither answered calls nor responded to messages sent to his phone as of the time of filing this report.

Fubara, the so called weak man, finally ends gragra of Rivers man.

Know wen to fight and wen to leave the fight for another day.

I imagine how Fayose will be feeling now, granted interview in national television and started talking like agbero, yet he is a symbol in a so called state of knowledge.

The guy refuse to reconvene simply because he is aware of a move to impeach him.

The motion to impeach him will be moved once the house reconvenes so he is shifting the dooms day

Fubara is the leader of APC in Rivers state. No one can contest. I love that he was not making noise. Silently working. Im glad the governors are also behind him.
