In Nigeria, the Chief Judge of a State plays a crucial constitutional role in the impeachment process of a Governor or Deputy Governor as outlined in Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Here’s a breakdown of their role:

Appointment of the Investigative :

If the State House of Assembly es a motion (with a two-thirds majority) alleging gross misconduct by the Governor or Deputy Governor, the Speaker must request the Chief Judge of the State to set up a seven-member .
The Chief Judge must constitute this within seven days.
The must not be politicians and should be persons of high integrity.
Supervision of the ’s Proceedings:

The investigates the allegations and reports its findings within three months.
If the finds the Governor guilty, the House of Assembly may proceed with impeachment.
If the Governor is found not guilty, the process ends immediately.
Ensuring Fairness and Due Process:

The Chief Judge ensures that the impeachment operates independently and follows due process.
They do not personally decide the Governor’s fate but play a role in facilitating the process.
Summary:
The Chief Judge of the State is responsible for setting up and ensuring the integrity of the impeachment , which investigates allegations against the Governor. However, the final impeachment decision rests with the State House of Assembly.

The final decision doesn't rest with the House of Assembly but dependent wholly on the reports of the Investigative . Their verdict or findings determine where the pendulum swings.

Where it exonerates the Governor, the House has no option than to kill the bill. It's a long, windy, trickish process. Any Governor that worths his salt knows what, when and how to kill it even within the house. Chidi Lyods and one other Chidi, still in same RSHA fought dirty, with the Mace used to break one's head. Still on impeachment. Fubara can't tell me he doesn't have a plan

The investigative will be prevented with facts to go through and then send a final report on their own findings to the house

It's at the house that the motion to remove the governor will be determined by a simple vote .


The House is the only body that can initiate the impeachment process and have the final say on the governor's fate.

Still wrong!
The House has no power to go against the recommendations of the . Even when the is seen to have compromised in the discharge of their duty, the highest the House could do is to disban the and, may be, set up another. But this move may just be taken for witch-hunt.

Innocent despite the Court ruling that the governor operated an illegal budget for 2024 ?

Stop dreaming. If the exonerates the Governor the impeachment dies.Thats why Wike is presently confused

It is the set up by the CJ that will determine if the Governor is guilty or not.

And the court ruling on operating an illegal budget will suffice

The only reason Fubara is not behind bars by now is because he enjoys immunity from being prosecuted in a court of law

The will be presented with the court ruling that declared Fubara's executive rascality in not complying with the constitution by operating a budget without the House approval.

The 's job isn't to a verdict but to determine if there was any wrong doing by the governor and its final resolution to the House to decide on the fate of the governor .

Only the House is empowered to remove a sitting governor or deputy.

They can challenge the decision in court. And by the time it gets to supreme (Wike's) Court, they will ask the CJ to constitute another and trust me that will be around 2026.
If you think Impeachment is possible, Wike that I know would have asked his boys to carry it out. All Wike wants is that all his commissioners be returned, that's it

If you know and believe so ask the assembly to begin the impeachment. We will now know who is right between us.
