Martins Amaewhule Commence Process to Withdraw Gov Fubara Impeachment Notice
This is coming after, Wike and Gov Fubara signed agreement to withdraw all charges in the court and present the 2024 budget to the full house.
The lawmakers led by Martin Amaewhule convened at the House of Assembly quarters.
The single item to be considered by the lawmakers is the withdrawal of the impeachment notice against the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
The oil-rich state has been embroiled in a crisis following a rift between Wike and his predecessor, Fubara.
As part of measures to resolve the rift, President Bola Tinubu met with the warring parties in consultation with the Former governor of the state, Dr Peter Odili.
A truce was brokered at the Aso Villa in Abuja.
The rift between Wike and Fubara split lawmakers in the House with 27 of them decamping from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a party in whose central government Wike currently serves as minister.
The feud also saw the emergence of parallel sittings, an impeachment plot against the governor, the demolition of the Assembly complex, and a gale of resignations of pro-Wike commissioners in Fubara’s cabinet.
The President and some elder statesmen had intervened in the crisis earlier in October but it degenerated into a full-blown fight.
Resolutions
However, after Monday’s meeting, the warring parties agreed that all matters instituted in the courts by Fubara, and his team, be withdrawn immediately.
Fubara, Wike, Amaewhule and others involved in the crisis signed the agreement made available to Pitakwa News. The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, also signed the document.
