Assembly have asked the Chief Judge of the state to constitute a panel to investigate allegations of gross misconduct leveled against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu.
The lawmakers made the request on Friday following a unanimous resolution, insisting that the impeachment process against the governor would continue.
Earlier, the legislators addressed a live press conference in Port Harcourt, where they accused Fubara of blackmail and claimed he no longer enjoys the confidence required to resolve the political crisis in the oil-rich state.
They alleged that the governor violated provisions of the 1999 Constitution, stressing that the House was left with no option but to invoke its constitutional powers to commence impeachment proceedings.
The Assembly also accused Governor Fubara and his deputy of intimidating lawmakers in an attempt to undermine the legislature.
Despite the accusations, the lawmakers expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for intervening in the crisis.
They further called on the Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule, to reconvene the Assembly to continue legislative business.
