Rivers Impeachment saga: Good Governance Group Fingers Wike...says he's done nothing to warrant such undemocratic act
Group under aegis of Movement for Good Governance in Nigeria (MGGN) has condemned the alleged attempt by some members of the State House of Assembly to impeach Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
The group ,which berated Nyesom Wike, Minister of Federal Capital Territory FCT Abuja, described the alleged grand plot to impeach Governor Fubara as unfortunate and undemocratic.
The information gathered revealed that the lawmakers, who are believed to be loyal to Wike, had signed an impeachment notice against the embattled governor early Monday morning.
The Movement for Good Governance in Nigeria ,which disclosed this in a press statement signed by its National Chairman, Comrade Garba Ahmadu Suleiman said , "It's against this background that the group decided to fight and stand against this undemocratic act by the sponsored lawmakers. "
Although ,the group in the statement said it can't confirm that former Governor Wike is the brain behind the grand plot to unlawfully attempt to impeach Fubara who is barely five months in office as Governor of River State, he has done nothing wrong to warrant his removal except for the fact that he has decided not to remain a stooge to the immediate.
According to the group which accused Wike of trying to control the state and waste resources said move to remove the Governor by 24 members of the House of Assembly will lead to unwarranted break down of law and order in the state .
The statement further reads : "We consider this development very worrisome and capable of generating an unwarranted state of insecurity and instability that can throw the entire Niger Delta and the Nigerian economy into serious crises.
"We urge Wike to concentrate on his responsibilities as Minister of FCT and stop interfering and arm twisting the political machinery in River State to advance his personal and selfish desires".
It however ,called on all democrats and Nigerians to rise against this brazen oppression and suppression of duly elected leaders , especially a Governor such as Fubura.
