Impeachment: I won’t stop Rivers Assembly from performing their duties, says Wike

Date:

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesome Wike, has said that he has no plan to stop members of the Rivers State House of Assembly from performing the constitutional duties.

Part of the legislative functions of the Assembly is to impeach the governor if he is found wanting for going against stipulations of the law.

The lawmakers, about 27 of them, have been at loggerheads with Governor Siminalayi Fubara as they try to maintain their loyalty to the FCT minister.

The lawmakers led by Martin Amaewhule recently obtained victory at the Supreme Court, which ordered that they should resume their legislative duties.

The governor was also ordered to re-present the 2025 budget to the full House of the Assembly and reconduct the local council elections.

There are speculations about the majority lawmakers plotting the governor’s impeachment.

“I’m not going to stop the Assembly from performing their constitutional duties. People who love peace don’t threaten people,” Wike told a large number of Kalabari people on Saturday.

“Assembly must do their work, whatever they deem necessary and fit, that it is constitutional, they should do.”

He continued, “Let them tell me what initiative they have put on the ground. It is not to abuse us. You can abuse me as much as you want; I never bother myself. abuse Dey kill anybody?

“You don seen who abuse don kill? What is important is the result. Na who get high blood pressure now; no be them?”
