The political crisis in Rivers State has escalated, with 26 lawmakers accusing Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, of gross misconduct.
The lawmakers submitted two letters to Speaker Martin Amaewhule, who subsequently transmitted the notices to the governor and his deputy. The accusations, which align with Section 188 of the Nigerian Constitution, include reckless spending of public funds, obstructing the State Assembly, and making appointments without legislative approval.
