As the Rivers State House of Assembly announced the commencement of impeachment proceedings against the state Governor, Siminialayi Fubara, the Governor challenged the house to come out and tell the public what his offences are to warrant an impeachment.
He said, “For me today, whatever it is that wants to happen, let it happen. If Siminialayi Fubara is impeached, I will not be the first or the last, and I’m saying if it happens. But what is important is that any attempt that is not justified will be resisted. Let them tell Rivers people that offence, come out and tell the people of Rivers State, that offence that Fubara committed that is warranting impeachment.
“My happiness this morning is that the people of Rivers State, represented by every one of you here, are with us. Let me assure you people that we will continue to defend you people. We will protect you people and you will enjoy the dividends of democracy.”
The Governor made the call on Monday at the premises of the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex when he addressed some of his supporters who followed him to go and inspect the Sunday night explosion and fire at the chambers of the assembly.
It was reported that Governor Fubara, who stated that he was directly shot at by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Operations, declared that he would resist any attempt to impeach him without justification.
