The Rivers State House of Assembly has suspended impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu. Lawmakers reached the decision during a plenary session held in Port Harcourt, signaling a pause in the tense political standoff.

Reports from TVC News indicate the motion to stop the process was adopted after deliberations by members. The development followed recent peace efforts involving key political figures aimed at resolving the prolonged crisis in the state.

Sources link the decision to the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, who recently held talks with Fubara, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, and lawmakers. The meeting reportedly focused on restoring stability and unity within the state’s political structure.

Observers believe the suspension may mark a turning point in Rivers politics, as tensions had threatened governance and public confidence. Many residents now hope the move will usher in reconciliation and allow leaders to focus on development priorities.
