Impeachment Move: Rivers Chief Judge Rejects Assembly’s Request to Probe Fubara The Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Simeon C. Amadi, has turned down the request by the Rivers State House of Assembly to set up a seven-man panel to investigate allegations of gross misconduct against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Nma-Odu. Justice Amadi cited existing court orders and a pending appeal as the reason for his decision. This development has effectively stalled the impeachment move by the lawmakers and shifted the battle entirely to the courts. The situation now leaves the fate of the impeachment process in the hands of the judiciary. #RiversPolitics #ImpeachmentMove #GovernorFubara #NigeriaPolitics

EXCLUSIVE: How 26 Pro-Wike Rivers Lawmakers Collected ₦350m Each For Projects Never Done At least 26 Rivers State lawmakers loyal to former governor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, reportedly received ₦350 million each for constituency projects that were never executed. Documents obtained by SaharaReporters show that the funds — totaling about ₦10.5 billion — were approved and released on September 12, 2025, during the period of emergency rule in Rivers State. Sources within the Rivers State Government House revealed that none of the projects were carried out in the affected constituencies. Investigations also found that many of the companies nominated to handle the projects were inactive, dormant, or suspected to be shell companies. The revelations have raised serious concerns over accountability and misuse of public funds in the state. #RiversPolitics #CorruptionAllegations #NigeriaNews #PublicFunds
