A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Adeleke Agbola says Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State risks impeachment and therefore needs to tread carefully.
The legal practitioner was speaking in light of recent political developments in the oil-rich state. Fubara and his predecessor Nyesom Wike were at loggerheads which needed President Bola Tinubu’s intervention to quell.
Despite that, some lawmakers who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) have told the governor to represent the 2024 budget which was earlier presented to four members of the assembly.
