On January 9, 2026, the Association of Legislative Drafting and Advocacy Practitioners (ALDRAP) announced efforts to recall 26 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, including Speaker Martin Amaewhule, due to impeachment proceedings against Governor Sim Fubara for alleged gross misconduct and financial misappropriation.
ALDRAP has sent a letter to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) requesting certified true copies of the voters register for all state constituencies in Rivers State. The association argues that many of its members are constituents and have the legal right to begin the recall process. They warned that they would seek court action if INEC does not provide the requested documents.
The letter, dated January 8, 2026, critiques the Assembly members for initiating hostile actions against the governor despite a Supreme Court ruling encouraging peaceful conflict resolution among members of the All Progressives Congress (APC). ALDRAP emphasized that the impeachment notice is fundamentally flawed, highlighting inappropriate language used in addressing Governor Fubara.
