A camp in the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has faulted the Rivers State House of Assembly for proceeding with impeachment moves against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, warning that the action could destabilise both the party and the state.
In a press statement issued on Friday, and signed by its spokesperson, Darlington Nwauju, the APC said it had reviewed the developments at the Assembly and expressed concern over what it described as a “choreographed legislative coup d’état”.
“We have painstakingly analysed the issues leading up to the latest step taken today by members of the Rivers State House of Assembly by electing to proceed with the impeachment process against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Governor Prof Ngozi Odu.
“Regrettably, we note that honourable members who trumpeted loyalty to our party and Mr President can give themselves to the unfolding choreographed legislative coup d’état against the collective interest, growth, and development of our party in the state,” the statement said.
