Led by the Speaker, Rt Hon. Martin Amaewhule, the impeachment move signals a renewed confrontation between the lawmakers and the governor.
The Assembly has resolved to publish the allegations in three national newspapers which further intensifying the political stand-off in the state.
ROYAL NEWS reports that this development comes months after a previous impeachment attempt against Fubara in December 2023 was withdrawn following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, who brokered a peace deal among the warring factions.
However, the latest action by the Assembly suggests that tensions have resurfaced, with lawmakers, allegedly loyal to former Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, pushing for Fubara’s removal.
As the impeachment process unfolds, political observers are watching closely to see how the governor and his supporters will respond, and whether another intervention from the presidency or other political stakeholders will be necessary to restore stability in the state.
