Event Summary

The Nigeria — Lagos State House of Assembly has suspended impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu. This decision was made on Thursday, February 19, 2026, during a resumed sitting in Port Harcourt, following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu. The impeachment process, initiated on January 8 over alleged gross misconduct including the demolition of the state assembly complex and spending without legislative approval, had previously been halted by a court order. This marks the fourth intervention by President Bola Tinubu in the protracted political crisis in Nigeria — Rivers State, which was triggered by a feud between Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
