Lawmakers were in the House at 7 a.m. and commenced a plenary session where they all signed the impeachment notice on the governor.
Responding to the situation, Governor Fubara stated that he had done nothing to warrant impeachment and accused the security agencies of compromise.
“The security agencies were shooting at me just to please somebody. It doesn’t matter, somebody will die one day. I’m not planning anything against anybody and I don’t know where all these things are coming from. For the good people of Rivers State, remain prayerful as God will see us through.”
Meanwhile, the entire Moscow Road leading to the Rivers State House of Assembly has been barricaded by armed policemen.
