The Rivers State House of Assembly has explained that it is impeaching Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his Deputy for repeatedly violating the peace agreement facilitated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Majority Leader of the House, Major Jack, made the explanation while reading Fubara’s misconduct report during Thursday’s impeachment proceedings.
According to Major Jack, President Tinubu brokered peace between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, twice, but the governor did not comply.
He said, “The governor and his Deputy have continued to act as tyrants and have no good plans for transparency of good governance in Rivers State.
“They have repeatedly breached and backtracked on peace agreement facilitated by the president of this country Bola Tinubu.

“The governor and his deputy failed to heed to the terms of agreement reached during the peace parley in December 2023 and another one in 2025.”
Recall Tribune Online reported a political crisis in Rivers, stemming from the feud between Fubara and Wike, prompted President Tinubu to impose emergency rule in the state in March 2025.
Fubara, along with all other elected officials in Rivers, was suspended for six months but returned to office in September 2025 after the emergency rule ended. His return followed a second peace agreement brokered by President Tinubu in June, involving Fubara, Wike, and their supporters.
