Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has reacted to his impeachment plot emanating from the state’s House of Assembly.
Fubara insisted that he had not done anything wrong for him to be removed unjustly.
The governor while addressing his supporters at the Assembly Complex on Monday, October 30, said:
“Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment.
The governor assured the people of the state of getting the dividends of democracy, and said he would speak on the matter at the appropriate time.

He said:
“Let me assure the people of Rivers that I will continue to ensure that you get the dividends of democracy. At the appropriate time I will address the press.”
The Governor is accused of acts of gross misconduct unbecoming of his office.
This is coming a few hours after the House Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly Hon Edison Ehie was removed from his position as the Leader of the House.
There were gunshots and firing of teargas within the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex on Monday when some lawmakers gathered to start up an impeachment process on Fubara.
Earlier on Sunday night, the Assembly Complex gutted fire which rumours suggested was caused by a rift between Fubara and his predecessor Nyesom Wike who is now Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister.
