Panic as Fubara storms Rivers Assembly
The Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, today, visited the State Assembly residential quarters on Aba Road.
This was coming amidst calls from the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Local Government Areas on the State House of Assembly to impeach the governor.
There were fears that the assembly might be gearing up to start up the impeachment process against the governor anytime. Although, 4 members of the State House of Assembly loyal to Fubara had yesterday elected Victor Oko Jumbo as its new Speaker after the resignation of Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie.

Although, the essence of the visit to assembly facility has not been confirmed, but a source in the state government House, noted that the governor wants to started the renovation of the facility to give it a face lift.
