Governor Fubara Unconstitutionally Spent Public Funds – Rivers Assembly

The Rivers State House of Assembly has come out to issue a notice accusing Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu of alleged misconduct.

Twenty-six members of the assembly made the misconduct allegation against Fubara in a notice sent to the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to them, Fubara has indulged in several offences, including reckless and unconstitutional spending of public funds, obstructing the Assembly’s activities, and appointing individuals to government positions without the required screening and confirmation.

Other allegations include withholding salaries, allowances and funds meant for the legitimate Rivers State House of Assembly, as well as seizing the salary of the Clerk, Emeka Amadi.

It read, “Within 14 days of the presentation of the notice to the Speaker of the House of Assembly (whether or not any statement made by the holder of the office in reply to the allegation contained in the notice), the House of Assembly shall resolve by motion, without any debate, whether or not the allegation shall be investigated.”

WOW.
