The clarification was made by the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Petitions and Complaints, Hon. Enemi George, through an official statement. He explained that the lawmakers followed the procedure outlined in Section 188 of the Constitution by issuing separate notices of allegations to the governor and the deputy governor. These notices were formally delivered by the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule, and the Assembly is now waiting for their responses.
The Assembly said it has a duty to uphold the rule of law and ensure that public office holders act within legal limits. It also rejected reports suggesting that the impeachment move had been suspended, describing such claims as untrue and capable of causing unnecessary tension among residents of Rivers State.
Lawmakers added that they would not give in to pressure, threats, or blackmail from any quarters and warned the public to ignore false information circulating on the matter. They reaffirmed their resolve to carry out their constitutional duties without distraction.
The House further thanked the people of Rivers State for their support and prayers during the ongoing political situation and extended goodwill to Nigerians who remain committed to democratic governance.
During the plenary session held on Thursday, presided over by the Speaker, the Majority Leader, Major Jack, formally read the notice of allegations of gross misconduct against Governor Fubara on the floor of the House, marking a key step in the ongoing process.
