In a dramatic turn of events, pandemonium reigned at the Rivers State House of Assembly, casting a dark cloud over the political landscape. The Assembly found itself in turmoil as it grappled with rumors of a looming impeachment procedure targeting Governor Sim Fubara. The situation escalated on Monday as the Assembly made a significant move by removing its leader, Edison Ehie.
Ehie's removal stemmed from allegations that he had supervised the burning of the Assembly Complex on the previous Sunday night, a charge that shook the political arena. Led by its Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, the Assembly also issued an impeachment notice against Governor Fubara.
The tension reached a boiling point when Governor Fubara made a dramatic entrance at the Assembly Complex amid the unfolding developments. As the governor arrived, chaos erupted both inside and outside the complex. Tear gas was fired in an attempt to control the mounting turmoil, leading to a hasty exit by the House members for their own safety.
Outside the complex, protests erupted as supporters of Governor Fubara vehemently opposed his impending impeachment. The clash between those in favor and those against the governor's removal only added to the chaos, leaving the political future of Rivers State in uncertainty and the nation in shock
