The Rivers State House of Assembly has outlined the reasons behind the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The Majority Leader of the Assembly, Major Jack, stated that the decision to initiate impeachment proceedings against the governor and his deputy was based on their alleged persistent violation of the peace agreement brokered by President Bola Tinubu.
Jack made the allegation on Thursday during plenary while presenting a report detailing acts of misconduct against the governor. He maintained that the continued failure of the governor and his deputy to honour the terms of the peace accord necessitated the impeachment process currently before the Assembly.
According to him, Governor Fubara and his deputy repeatedly disregarded resolutions reached during reconciliation efforts aimed at restoring stability and political harmony in the state.
He further accused the duo of conducting the affairs of government without a genuine commitment to transparency and good governance.
“The governor and his deputy have continued to act in a manner that undermines democratic principles and accountability,” Jack said.
He also alleged that the peace agreements facilitated by President Tinubu were breached on several occasions, including those reached during reconciliation meetings held in December 2023 and another in 2025.
