The Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly on Friday said they will proceed with the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The lawmakers who addressed a live press conference in Port Harcourt accused Fubara of blackmail, saying he lacked the trust needed to address the crisis rocking the oil-rich state.
They accused the governor of infringing on the 1999 Constitution, saying the parliament was left with no other choice but to apply their legislative power by impeaching him from office.
The lawmakers also claimed the governor and his deputy had resorted to intimidating the parliament.
They, however, thanked Bola Tinubu for wading into the crisis.
Four members of the House who had held pressers, calling for a political solution, recanted and declared their support for the impeachment process to continue.
