Nobody will impeach Fubara, Rivers activist says

Rivers-based activist Jake Epelle on Thursday stated that nobody will impeached the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

According to him, the people of Rivers state are solidly behind Fubara even as he called on Wike and Fubara to address the crisis in the interest of the people of Rivers state.

“Let them go and try impeachment, they will not succeed,” Epelle said on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief show.

“Nobody will impeach Fubara. I say that openly on national television because he hasn’t committed any impeachable offence. Nobody will impeach him; the people are solidly behind him.

“Fubara will not be impeached, let them take it to the bank. The call by the FCT Minister to impeach Fubara, he does not have the constitutional power, he may have the deep pocket power and connection, but there is a process and that process will take its course.

“The people are solidly behind Fubara. Whatever happens, we should not be calling for impeachment. The Rivers people are resilient and we love this country,” Epelle said.

He, however, called on the two warring factions to give peace a chance, saying that “They need to come to the table of negotiation and discussion. It is very undemocratic and injustice for one person to keep dictating the conditions for peace, Fubara and Wike need to be in the same room and look each other in the eyes and settle this. This state is bigger than Wike and Fubara, and this ego-tripping and threats must stop, and it is coming from both sides, and it is not something the Rivers people are known for. My heart bleeds, my eyes are full of tears.”
