Ah, my people! Wetin dey happen for Rivers State na wah o! Rivers State High Court don drop one hot injunction wey don scatter di plans dem wey dey try impeach Govnor Siminalayi Fubara and im deputy, Gozi Odu. E be like say dem wan use impeachment take play ball, but di court don stop dem small.
Di presiding judge, Justice Florence A. Fiberesima, na im give di ruling wey stop di Chief Judge of di state, Justice Simeon Chibuzor-Amadi from accepting any impeachment notice against di govnor. This ruling come just after di Rivers Assembly tok say dem wan set up seven-man panel to investigate allegations against di govnor wey e sabi misconduct. E no go easy o!
As e be, dis whole wahala no be today matter. Dis na di third time dis kind impeachment matter don show face since Fubara enter office for 2023. Di Assembly don already dey vex say Fubara dey act like say e no sabi law, and dem no wan take excuse for him matter. Instead of clamouring for peace, di lawmakers don dey para on top di issue.
Omo, wetin don make di situation worse be say, di Majority Leader of di Assembly, Major Jack, don tell reporters say Fubara dey disregard dem like say dem no dey important. Im don talk say dem go pursue di impeachment matter like say dem no get sense. Meanwhile, four lawmakers wey dey initially support di impeachment don change dia mind, dey call for peace o!
According to dem, di governor don dey use im media aides to incite di pipo against di Assembly members. Di Deputy Minority Leader, Sylvanus Nwankwo, don also vex talk say di govnor no fit respect di constitution. Wetin you go expect? Impeachment dey di way wey dem wan take show dia power.
As all di gist dey happen, di Special Assistant to di Govnor, Darlington Oji don talk say di wahala dey come from di refusal of di governor to present supplementary budget for 2025. Dem go gather and shake tables as dem no gree compromise on dia demands for a supplementary budget. Fubara, as e dey, dey relax with di money wey dey for state account say e fit manage till di 2026 budget come.
But di lawmakers no wan hear; dem dey determined to go ahead with di impeachment. Dis action don raise serious eyebrows, especially as people dey begin dey talk say dis impeachment matter fit cause serious battle for di political arena.
Meanwhile, e get plenty people wey don shake head for di matter, dey call on di Assembly say make dem allow common sense reign and find common ground instead of using bulldozer to serious fight wey fit lead to political instability. E still remain to see wetin di court go do when dem reassemble for January 23, 2026.
