The Rivers State House of Assembly has commenced impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara, marking a major political development in the state.

The lawmakers began the impeachment process during plenary on Thursday, signaling an escalation in the ongoing political tension within the state government.

According to information from Thecable.ng, Governor Fubara and his deputy are being accused of gross misconduct. While full details of the allegations have not yet been officially made public, the initiation of the process confirms that the legislature believes there are grounds to investigate the actions of both officials.

The move comes amid months of political crisis and deep divisions between the executive arm of government and members of the House of Assembly, which has repeatedly affected governance in the state.

Impeachment proceedings typically involve several stages, including formal presentation of allegations, investigation by a panel, and possible hearings before any final decision is taken. At this stage, the process has only been initiated, and no final outcome has been reached.

As of the time of filing this report, the Rivers State Government has not issued an official response to the impeachment move. Political observers across the state and the country are closely monitoring developments, as the situation could have far-reaching implications for governance and stability in Rivers State.
