Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara
Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, has assured that Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara remains politically secure within the All Progressives Congress (APC) despite renewed threats of impeachment.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Rivers State House of Assembly on Thursday initiated fresh impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, over allegations of misconduct.
The impeachment threats come amid the ongoing political tension between Fubara and his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr Nyesom Wike.
Speaking after participating in the APC’s e-registration exercise at Ward G, Irewe, Ojo Local Government Area, Adediran expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu’s leadership would restore order and prevent political instability in Rivers State.
He contrasted the APC’s approach with that of the PDP, which he said lacked structure during previous impeachment threats.
“When impeachment first came up under the PDP, I feared for him because that party lacks leadership and a clear structure. But now it is impeachment 2.0 in APC, with APC lawmakers, I have no fear at all,” Adediran said.
“APC is not PDP. It has party supremacy and a clear leadership structure. We know where the buck stops,” he added.
Adediran further expressed his confidence that President Tinubu would “call everybody to order” and ensure the crisis is resolved peacefully.
He revealed that the President had already summoned both Governor Fubara and Minister Wike over the matter, urging Rivers residents and APC members to remain calm.
“APC’s leadership will guarantee peace and political stability in the state,” he affirmed. (NAN)
