I’ve not done anything to deserve impeachment – Rivers gov

Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers has declared that he has not done anything to warrant any impeachment by the state’s House of Assembly.

Fubara on Monday October 30 vowed to resist any unjustified impeachment attempt against him.

The governor dared his detractors to tell the world his offence.

The governor spoke while addressing after a face-off with security operatives on his way to the Rivers House of Assembly.

The Rivers lawmakers had earlier on Monday morning impeached the House Majority Leader, Hon Edison Ehie, an ally of the governor, ahead of the plot to impeach Fubara.

There are reports of cold relationship between Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Addressing his supporters, Fubara said: “I know how you people are feeling. Just take it easy. When we have the youth, we have power.

“But the difference with our own power is we will not misuse it. We woke up this morning to a very troubling news. We have gone to the Assembly to see for ourselves what has happened.

“On my way there, tear gas was fired at me. But it doesn’t matter, somebody will die one day. Whether you die inside your house or on the road. So, my journey today, whatever it is that wants to happen, let it happen.

“What I’m saying is that any attempt that is not justified will be resisted. That offence that I have committed, come out and tell the people of Rivers State. That’s what I want. That offence Fubara committed warrants impeaching me.

“At the appropriate time, I will address the press. Thank you. God bless you.”
