Rivers Assembly does not resume after adjournment
Martin Amaewhule and the Rivers State House of Assembly did not reconvene as expected, despite adjourning their last session a week earlier. The House had started impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, during its first sitting in 2026. The session was adjourned until January 15, 2026, but there was no sign of activity at the assembly on that date. No official explanation has been given for the delay in resumption.
