The Rivers State House of Assembly has suspended the impeachment proceedings initiated against Governor Siminalayi Fubaraand his deputy Ngozi Odu following the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The allegations included the demolition of the State House of Assembly complex and approval of expenditures without legislative authorisation, among other claims.
