Rivers State lawmakers attempt to impeach Governor Fubara, causing political crisis

Lawmakers in Nigeria's Rivers State are trying to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The process has been chaotic, with some lawmakers changing their minds, a court blocking the state's chief judge from acting on the impeachment, and the assembly failing to meet to proceed with the vote.

Fubara says he never received formal notice of the impeachment. The situation has drawn in other political figures, including former governor Nyesom Wike, who met with a regional group, and the national ruling party, the APC, which is reportedly in conflict with the state assembly over the move.
