The Rivers State House of Assembly has rejected claims that Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is behind the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Lawmakers insist the process is guided solely by the Constitution and not influenced by any political figure.
The Assembly clarified that allegations linking Wike to the impeachment undermine the independence and credibility of the legislature. Officials stressed that constitutional duties and political affiliations are separate, and mixing the two could mislead the public.
Spokespersons noted that the move targets alleged breaches of law by the governor, including financial mismanagement and irregular appointments, rather than any external political pressure. The Assembly emphasized it acts within its legal authority.
The impeachment process has been formally initiated, with lawmakers following due legal procedures. Notices and steps have been issued to ensure the process complies with constitutional requirements.
The development continues to draw attention across Rivers State, with observers monitoring the proceedings closely as debates over governance, accountability, and political influence remain intense.
