The Rivers State House of Assembly has rubbished an order by the state High Court, stopping the ongoing impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his Deputy.
The court on Friday issued an interim injunction restraining
the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and the
Clerk of the House, from sending any correspondence to the Chief Judge of the
state.
The court also stopped the state’s Chief Judge, Justice
Simeon Amadi, from making any step towards the impeachment process.
However, when contacted, the spokesman of the Assembly,
Enemi George said the court lacks the power to intervene in the matter.
Enemi, who said the assembly is not aware of any court
order, stated that section 188(10) of the Nigerian constitution does not allow
the court to intervene in the impeachment of state governor.
He said, “The House is not aware of any court order.
However, if you read section 188(10), the court has no power to intervene in
the impeachment process”.
