Ijaw Leader Asks Tinubu to Intervene in Rivers Political Crisis
Reports indicate that the Assembly was engulfed in chaos as gunshots reverberated within the complex, accompanied by the deployment of tear gas.
The commotion unfolded concurrently with the initiation of an impeachment process against the incumbent Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Among the startling developments, Speaker Martin Amaewhule presided over the session where 23 lawmakers collectively resolved to commence the impeachment procedure. Moreover, the suspension of House leader Edison Ehie and several colleagues allegedly aligned with the governor has further amplified tensions within the political scene in the State.
