The Rivers State House of Assembly on Monday issued a notice of alleged gross misconduct against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.
According to Channels TV, the lawmakers asserted that their action was in accordance with constitutional provisions.
“In compliance with Section 188 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), and other extant laws, we, the undersigned members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, hereby forward to you a Notice of Gross Misconduct by the Deputy Governor of Rivers State in the performance of the functions of her office,” the notice read.
The development comes amid ongoing speculation about moves to remove Governor Fubara from office, despite earlier denials by the assembly regarding any impeachment plans.
