PRESS RELEASE 

Issued this 9th January 2026

PROGRESS REPORT ON THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS AGAINST HIS EXCELLENCY, SIR SIMINALAYE FUBARA GSSRS - GOVERNOR, RIVERS STATE AND HER EXCELLENCY PROF. NGOZI NMA ODU DSSRS 

The Rivers State House of Assembly is pleased to inform the good people of Rivers State that the impeachment process commenced by the House on Thursday 8th January 2026 is fully on course in line with relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). The two notices of allegations of gross misconduct brought pursuant to Section 188 of the Constitution against the Governor and Deputy have been forwarded to them by the Speaker of the House while we await their responses.

As we all know, it is the House of Assembly that is empowered by the Constitution to stand by the people and stop infractions on the Constitution by the Governor, Deputy Governor or any other officer of the Rivers State Government so, we remain duty bound in this regard.

We are aware that certain persons and media platforms are at it again to misinform the public particularly to the effect that the process has been halted or discontinued. Some are trending false narratives to cause disaffection between the House and well-meaning Nigerians. Therefore, with the leave of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule DSSRS .I call on all and sundry to disregard their antics, as their actions have already failed.We remain committed to our constitutional duties and would not be dissuaded by cheap blackmail or threats from those who do not mean well for our country’s nascent democracy. 

Finally, we thank the good people of Rivers State for their prayers and encouragement and express our gratitude to all stakeholders and leaders at all levels and use this medium to extend our warm regards to all democrats who believe in the Nigerian project.

May God continue to bless our dear Rivers State and Nigeria.

Signed:

Hon. Dr. Enemi Alabo George DSSRS
Chairman, House Committee of Information, Petitions and Complaints

"WHEN A WICKED PERSON D!ES, PEOPLE REJOICE NOT BECAUSE OF DEATH ITSELF, BUT BECAUSE THE OPPRESSION HAS ENDED." - TAMBARI JACOB, TO LATE SENATOR BARRY MPIGI

Image
Social media commentator Tambari Jacob has come under heavy criticism following a controversial post he made shortly after news broke of the death of Senator Barry Mpigi. In the post, which quickly sparked widespread reactions online, Jacob made remarks suggesting that people often rejoice when the wicked die — a statement many interpreted as a reference to the late senator.  The comment triggered backlash, with several users describing it as insensitive and disrespectful, especially given the timing. Critics accused him of lacking empathy and failing to show proper regard for the deceased. Tambari Jacob, known for his outspoken and often polarizing views, has previously faced public scrutiny over his commentary style and the strong positions he frequently takes on national issues.

PASTOR ABANDONS GOD'S WORK, CLOSES DOWN CHURCH AFTER WINNING 100 MILLION FROM SPORTY BET

Image
A Ugandan pastor, David Ochieng has abandoned his ministerial work after hitting a huge sum of money through sports betting. Local media reports that he won 100 million UGX (N21 million) and decided to shutdown his church thereby leaving members in disbelief and confusion. When he realised that he is now 100 million shillings richer, he closed down the building and left members of his congregation stranded when they came for midweek service. Members of the church who visited the premises were shocked when they saw that the gate was locked and did not know what to do. The clergyman was contacted and he confessed that the reason he chose to work in the vineyard of God was strictly to earn income to survive and not because he was called.  Ochieng further described the winning as a blessing from God and a swift way to get him out of poverty he was in because he could not sustain himself with money from his poor congregation.

CHINA PASSES LAW PREVENTING WIVES FROM CLAIMING HUSBAND'S ASSETS AFTER DIVORCE

Image
China’s newly introduced 2025 divorce reforms have triggered widespread debate following significant changes to how marital property is divided after separation. Under the revised law, a wife can no longer automatically claim her husband’s property after a divorce unless the asset is officially registered as joint property or she can clearly prove her financial contribution toward its acquisition. The reform moves away from the traditional 50/50 asset division approach, placing greater emphasis on documented ownership and direct monetary input. Notably, the law does not recognise domestic responsibilities — such as childcare and household duties — as direct financial contributions to marital assets. This shift has raised concerns among advocacy groups and legal analysts. Critics argue that the reform could disproportionately affect stay-at-home spouses, particularly women, who may have spent years managing households or raising children without formal income. They warn that...
