The lawmakers are accusing Fubara and his deputy of gross misconduct.
Martins Amaewhule, speaker of the house, is presiding over the session.
Major Jack, leader of the assembly, read the gross misconduct charges, signed by 26 members.
Thereafter, Amaewhule said the notice of gross misconduct will be served on the governor in the next seven days.
The day’s proceedings bear the imprimatur of renewed hostilities between Fubara and his predecessor Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
On December 5, 2025, a horde of the Rivers assembly lawmakers led by the speaker, announced their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Days later, Fubara formalised his own switch from the PDP to the APC.
However, the sabre-rattling and thinly veiled remarks between Wike and Fubara, which culminated in the declaration of emergency rule in the state in March 2025, have persisted.
Most of the Rivers lawmakers have stayed loyal to Wike.
