Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu, on Sunday made their first public appearance since the State House of Assembly initiated impeachment proceedings against them.
The duo appeared at a church service held to mark the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day at St. Cyprian’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt.
Their appearance followed days of silence after the impeachment notice, during which they were reported to have travelled out of the country for official engagements.
The service was organised to honour fallen Nigerian servicemen and women who paid the supreme sacrifice in defence of the country, while prayers were also offered for the safety of personnel still in active service.
Despite the renewed political tension in the state, Governor Fubara and members of his administration have not commented publicly on the allegations of gross misconduct levelled against them by the Assembly.
The latest development marks the third impeachment attempt against the governor in less than three years.
