Rivers State lawmakers have abruptly frozen the impeachment process launched against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the Deputy Governor, Prof. Ngozi Odu following President Bola Tinubu’s intervention.

The decision to suspend the process followed a motion unanimously passed on Thursday when the Assembly reconvened for its continued sitting in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.
