Two more members of the Rivers State House of Assembly have urged their colleagues to withdraw the impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.
The appeal by Barile Nwakoh, representing Khana Constituency I, and Emilia Amadi of Obio/Akpor Constituency II comes 24 hours after two other lawmakers adopted a similar stance.
While maintaining that the governor and his deputy breached constitutional provisions, the lawmakers say their change of position followed interventions by well-meaning leaders of the state.
With this latest development, 4 out of the 26 lawmakers who signed the notice of alleged misconduct have now indicated support for a peaceful resolution of the political impasse.
