Please, share this story:
The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, failed to resume plenary on Thursday, a week after adjourning its last sitting.
The House at its first sitting in 2026 last Thursday commenced impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, over alleged gross misconduct, including the demolition of the state assembly complex and spending without legislative approval, among other charges. The sitting was adjourned until January 15, 2026.
However, as of noon on Thursday, January 15, 2026, a visit to the assembly showed that there was no sign that the House, which presently holds sittings at the conference hall of its official legislative quarters along Aba Road, would reconvene.
No explanation has been provided for the delay, nor has a date for resumption been announced.
Efforts to reach the House Chairman on Information, Petitions, and Complaints, Eneme George, for clarification proved unsuccessful.
He neither answered calls nor responded to messages sent to his phone as of the time of filing this report.
