It has been reported that the lawmakers have warned of resuming impeachment proceedings if he continues to violate the constitution.
During a press briefing in Port Harcourt, the state capital, the Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule, shared this information.
Amaewhule, along with 26 members of the Assembly, presented a 10-point briefing criticising the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who expressed their support for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Fubara.
They alleged that the governor failed to fulfil his obligations under the Presidential Peace Accord, which he willingly signed without any form of pressure.
In addition, they clarified that they retracted their impeachment notice against Governor Fubara as a gesture of respect towards President Tinubu and in the hope that the governor will reconsider his position.
The lawmakers, however, warned of resuming the impeachment proceedings if Governor Fubara persists in what they see as repeated violations of the constitution.
The statement reads, “We begin by announcing to you that sponsored attacks on the House has failed woefully. Enemies of the people and those who cannot withstand the principles of the rule of law as well as checks and balances in our nascent democracy, in their frustration, started with the burning and later demolition of the Hallowed Chamber.
“Their plan is to eliminate the legislature that is pushing for the independence granted her by the Constitution since they cannot exercise undue control over her. We survived these attacks! Their new strategy is to use another arm of government, lobbyists, attack dogs and the mainstream and social media to bring the House to disrepute and consummate their agenda. In this regard, various individuals, groups, media mercenaries have been recruited to actualize their objectives.
“The latest of the new groups recruited against the 10th Assembly is the “Former Rivers State PDP Presidential Campaign Council”.
