Political uncertainty deepened in Rivers State yesterday as lawmakers advanced impeachment moves and halted fiscal planning, even as Governor Siminalayi Fubara travelled out of the country to brief President Bola Tinubu on the power tussle rocking the state.
The governor is believed to be making arrangements to see the President amid escalating political tension, following the Assembly’s sudden commencement of impeachment proceedings against him.
Sources at Government House, Port Harcourt, said Fubara travelled alongside his unofficial Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, aboard a Rivers State Government-owned private jet in anticipation of meeting the President, who is currently on vacation in France.
The trip, according to the sources, was intended to alert the President to impeachment plans that were initially expected to be tabled before the Assembly on Monday.
