The lawmakers want to extract a genuine commitment from the governor that they would be given return tickets in the 2027 general elections.
Details have emerged explaining the sudden reversal by four Rivers State House of Assembly members who had earlier pulled out of the impeachment move against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
According to Vanguard, the lawmakers want to extract a genuine commitment from the governor that they would be given return tickets in the 2027 general elections.
A key player who pleaded anonymity said there is nothing like a gross misconduct against the governor, adding that what the lawmakers want is the assurance that they will return to the Assembly next year.
“With this attitude of theirs to the governor, they are not sure of coming back. That is the assurance they want. That is the agreement they are talking about.
“If you can recall, this whole problem started when Governor Fubara defected to the APC last December.
“They knew that the governor would have his automatic ticket in APC and if they don’t get that assurance, then they would be dead politically,” he said.
