The Rivers State House of Assembly has pulled the plug on their impeachment notice against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
26 of the lawmakers pronounced the withdrawal notice during a sitting presided over by House Speaker, Rt. Hon Martin Amaewhule, at the Assembly quarters along Aba Road on Wednesday.
The lawmakers gathered solely to focus on the withdrawal of the impeachment notice against Fubara during their deliberations.
This follows a meeting between President Bola Tinubu and the warring parties in the Aso Villa in Abuja on Monday, where a truce was mediated.
“Out of respect for the President’s intervention and in keeping with the spirit of the truce reached,” the notice declared, “the Assembly hereby withdraws the impeachment proceedings initiated against His Excellency, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.”
Recall that 24 lawmakers had signed the impeachment notice on October 30, 2023.
