Rivers State House of Assembly members have accused the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, of gross misconduct.
The allegations were contained in a notice sent to Speaker Martin Amaewhule.
According to them, the action was in line with the 1999 Nigerian Constitution as amended.
“In compliance with Section 188 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and other extant laws, we the undersigned members of the Rivers State House of Assembly hereby forward to you a Notice of Gross Misconduct by the Deputy Governor of Rivers State in the performance of the functions of her office,” the notice read.
The notice has immediately raised the political temperature in the oil-rich state where the Ijaw youths, kinsmen of Fubara, have threatened to plunge the state into chaos with oil installations coming under destructive targets.
