In a bid to quell mounting speculation and political unrest, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State unequivocally denied any wrongdoing that could warrant his impeachment by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The governor made these statements on Monday while addressing a crowd of his supporters gathered at the Assembly Complex in Port Harcourt.
Governor Fubara, facing growing rumors of impeachment passionately defended his position, assuring the people of Rivers State that he would continue to deliver the promised dividends of democracy.
“Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offense I have committed to warrant any impeachment,” Governor Fubara boldly declared before his supporters. “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.”
The escalating crisis within the Rivers State House of Assembly reached a boiling point, with the recent removal of
Edison Ehie from his from his position as the House leader. This move triggered a chaotic sequence of events, forcing some members to flee for safety as tear gas was fired outside the Assembly Complex.
The tension in Rivers State’s political landscape has led to growing concerns about the stability of the state government. Citizens and political observers alike anxiously await further developments as Governor Fubara strives to maintain his grip on power amidst mounting opposition.
