Breaking: Rivers Lawmakers Serve Impeachment Notice On Gov Fubara

Twenty-four out of 32 members of Rivers Assembly have signed a document to impeach Governor Siminialayi Fubara.

They served impeachment notice on Fubara after impeaching and suspending House Leader Edison Ehie who is believed to be on the Governor’s side.

The decisions were taken at an emergency sitting by the lawmakers on Monday morning.

The unusual sitting took place between 7am and 9am on Monday.

Although newsmen were barred from the sitting, The Nation gathered that all the 24 members who signed the impeachment notice were present.

Ehie was not present at the sitting but later came in with the Governor.

However the action had already been concluded as the lawmakers left the Assembly complex through the second gates before Fubara and Ehie were allowed access to the complex.
