Rivers Governor Faces Impeachment as APC Calls for Action

APC - Governor Fubara - impeachment - political crisis - Rivers State

Tension rises in Rivers State as the APC orders immediate impeachment of Governor Fubara. Will the Assembly act?

In a dramatic turn of events, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has issued a directive for the immediate impeachment of Governor Fubara. This decision comes hot on the heels of Governor Fubara's controversial statements regarding the State House of Assembly led by Speaker Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule. The political landscape in Rivers is tense as the APC's call for action raises questions about the future of the governor's administration.

Former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has urged unity and support for Rivers State's leadership amidst the unfolding political turmoil. However, Governor Fubara has faced criticism from members of the Assembly, as he lambasted their conduct towards his government. The power struggle between the governor and the APC highlights the deep-rooted political divisions in the region.

Meanwhile, the APC's caretaker Chairman, Tony Okocha, emphasized the party's stance on not backing down in the face of the current situation. The call for impeachment proceedings has sparked tensions in Rivers State, with uncertainty looming over the political future of Governor Fubara. Will the Assembly heed the party's directive and take action against the governor?

In a separate development, Governor Fubara's refusal to implement an eight-point peace agreement allegedly led to the APC's decision to push for his impeachment. The rift between the governor and the opposition party has escalated, setting the stage for a high-stakes political showdown in Rivers State.
