The four members of the Rivers State House of Assembly who earlier advised against the impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara have made a u-turn.

It would be recalled that the lawmakers, a few days ago, withdrew their support for the impeachment proceedings against the governor.

The members who included the Minority Leader of the House, Sylvanus Nwankwo, representing Omuma State Constituency and Peter Abbey, representing Degema State Constituency, withdrew from the impeachment move and similarly appealed to their colleagues to halt it.

Also, the Deputy Minority Leader, Barile Nwakoh, who represents Khana Constituency I, and Emilia Amadi, who represents Obio/Akpor Constituency II followed suit.

However, during a press conference on Friday, held by the State House of Assembly members, the four lawmakers said the governor has not shown any reason for them to back down.
