In a recent development, the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is calling for the resumption of impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The party’s caretaker Chairman, Tony Okocha, emphasized this demand during a press conference held in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
Okocha said it will be foolhardy for them to sit down and see someone less than Mr. President insult him under their very nose. It is also an absurdity to see the governor espouse impunity and intimidation on a people who are members of their political party, and they watch doing nothing.
Okocha further threatened to invoke party discipline upon Assembly members if they failed to comply with the demand for resuming impeachment proceedings against the governor.
Governor Fubara had recently criticized the attitude of members of the Rivers State House of Assembly towards his administration, asserting that their existence as legislators is contingent upon his recognition.
