Former Chairman of Okrika Local Government Area in Rivers State, Sir Igwe Achese, has alleged that an external actor is funding a coup plot against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Achese was reacting to the move by the Rivers State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Fubara and his deputy of alleged gross misconducts.
It was earlier reported that the Assembly initiated the impeachment move on Thursday during an emergency plenary.
Achese described the impeachment plot as a coup against the governor and the people of the state.
He said, “Somebody who is in PDP wants to assume or dictate who is the leader of the state. It is very unfortunate. Take it anywhere, the governor remains the leader of the state. He remains the Renewed Hope Ambassador in Rivers State.
“Impeachment plot against Governor Fubara by the Assembly members is a coup being sponsored by somebody from outside.
“I’m very confident that Mr. President will not take this for granted.”
