Rivers State impeachment proceedings against Gov. Fubara and Deputy Gov. Odu suspended after high-level talks, including with President Tinubu.

The Rivers State House of Assembly has suspended impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu following high-level interventions, including a meeting at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa involving President Bola Tinubu, former governor Nyesom Wike, and assembly leaders. The move halts a process initiated in January 2026 over allegations including misuse of funds and defiance of court rulings, which had stalled due to a court injunction blocking the formation of an investigative panel. The suspension marks a temporary de-escalation in a politically volatile situation, reminiscent of a 2025 crisis that led to interim administration.
