The Rivers State House of Assembly has initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odum, over gross misconduct.

In a plenary session led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule, Majority Leader Major Jack presented allegations against Fubara based on Section 188 of the Nigerian Constitution.

The accusations include the demolition of the Assembly Complex, excessive budgetary spending, withholding funds for the Assembly Service Commission, and ignoring a Supreme Court ruling on the House’s financial autonomy.

Twenty-six members signed the notice, which will be served to the governor within seven days.

Linda Stewart, the Deputy Leader, also introduced allegations against Odum, which include reckless spending of public funds, obstructing the Assembly’s duties, and allowing unauthorised individuals to occupy official positions.

Other claims involve seeking budgetary approval from unauthorised sources and seizing the salaries of the Assembly Service Commission.

According to Punch Newspaper, Yusuf Buhari, son of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has secured the All Progressives Congress House of Representatives ticket for the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’adua Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general election.   The primary election held on Saturday across the three local government areas saw Yusuf Buhari record a decisive victory, polling 6,386 votes. His closest challenger, Auwal Daura, received 322 votes. Party officials said the exercise took place peacefully, with accredited delegates voting across Sandamu, Daura and Mai’adua. The constituency has 21,855 registered voters, while 6,837 delegates were accredited for the primary. A total of 6,708 votes were cast.   A supervising official identified as Ibrahim described the process as transparent, saying the result reflected the choice of party members in the constituency.   The victory has stirred political discussions within the Daura axis, long regarded as a stronghold of the Buhari family. Yusuf’s large margin of victory is being viewed as a sign that the family’s political influence remains strong in the area.   Yusuf Buhari had not publicly reacted to the result at the time Punch filed its report, but supporters and APC members reportedly celebrated shortly after the announcement.   He is now expected to contest the constituency seat under the APC in the 2027 general election.
