The State House of Assembly has dismissed reports of a court order seeking to halt the ongoing impeachment process, insisting that the judiciary lacks the constitutional authority to interfere.
Speaking with DAILY POST, the Assembly’s spokesman, Enemi George, said the lawmakers were not aware of any court directive on the matter.
George maintained that the Nigerian Constitution expressly bars courts from intervening in the impeachment of a state governor, citing Section 188(10).
“The House is not aware of any court order. However, if you read Section 188(10) of the Constitution, the court has no power to intervene in the impeachment process,” he said.
He stressed that the Assembly is acting strictly within the confines of the law and constitutional provisions in carrying out its duties.
