The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly opposed the State House of Assembly’s move to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy.
It was earlier reported that the Assembly on Thursday commenced an impeachment process against Fubara over alleged misconduct.
The impeachment notice is expected to be issued to the governor and his deputy in the next seven days.
Reacting, the Rivers APC, in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, rejected the move.
“Our position as at today on this matter is that we solemnly reject the resort to an impeachment process against our governor and his deputy.
“It will be totally untenable for our party to keep quiet when an obvious hangover from strifes that occurred within the PDP are allowed to resurface in our great party,” Darlington said.
He added that the ruling party “will do everything possible to ensure that the Government of Rivers State, which is an APC government, is not destabilized”.
