The legal representative for Governor Siminalaye Fubara, Damian Okoro, has not taken steps to retract a lawsuit aimed at preventing the Rivers State House of Assembly from impeaching his client.
In response, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Damian Okoro, stated that his client had not given him instructions to withdraw the case.
He emphasized, “I have not been briefed by my client to withdraw the case, and therefore, I am unable to take such action based on information circulating in the media.”
Following the arguments presented by both attorneys, Justice Ben Whyte, the presiding judge, decided to adjourn the hearing to January 31, 2024. This extension allows Okoro the opportunity to consult with his client and report any settlement progress, if applicable.
