The Rivers State House of Assembly has suspended impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu following the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The decision was reached on Thursday during the Assembly’s resumed sitting in Port Harcourt.
Details of the terms of the intervention were not immediately disclosed, but the move effectively halts the ongoing process against the governor and his deputy.
The development marks a significant shift in the political situation in Rivers State, where tensions had escalated in recent weeks over the impeachment move.
Further updates are expected as stakeholders respond to the Assembly’s resolution.
