BREAKING: Fubara Speaks On ‘Offence Committed’ To Warrant Impeachment
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State stated on Monday that he has not engaged in any wrongdoing that would justify his impeachment by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
“Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment,” the governor said while addressing his supporters at the Assembly Complex.
The governor, while assuring the state’s residents of receiving the benefits of democracy, mentioned that he will address the issue at the right moment.
“Let me assure the people of Rivers that I will continue to ensure that you get the dividends of democracy. At the appropriate time I will address the press,” he said.
A new crisis has gripped the Rivers Assembly amid speculation of a looming impeachment process against Fubara. On Monday, the House ousted its leader, Edison Ehie.
The House members, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, issued an impeachment notice to Fubara before seeking safety as tear gas was deployed outside the Complex.
Speaking to his supporters who protested the situation outside the Assembly Complex, the governor asserted that he has not engaged in any actions warranting impeachment by the Assembly.
This development unfolded following a fire incident at the Assembly Complex on Sunday night. While it remains unclear if the fire is linked to the political conflict, rumors of a discord between Fubara and his predecessor Nyesom Wike, now serving as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, have been circulating for some time.
