…Congratulates Rt Hon. Ehie for emerging speaker RSHA
Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has declared that Rivers people will resist any attempt by anybody to disrupt governance in the State under the cover of impeachment.
Speaking in Port Harcourt on Monday shortly after assessing the level of damage caused by the bomb that was detonated by some disgruntled elements at the Rivers State House of Assembly, Governor Fubara urged those planning his impeachment to come out clean and state exactly what the offences are that would warrant such action.
“If Siminalayi Fubara is impeached, I am not the first, neither will I be the last. But what is important is any attempt that is not justified will be resisted. Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence that I have committed to warrant impeachment.”
Governor Fubara acknowledged the massive turn out of Rivers people at the ugly news of what happened at the Assembly and said it is indicative that they are willing to protect the interest of the State.
“Let me assure Rivers people that I will continue to defend Rivers State, protect the people and make sure that you all enjoy the dividends of democracy.”
Governor Fubara also congratulated the member representing Ahoada East Constituency II, Rt. Hon. Edison Ehie for emerging as the new Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly and urged him to uphold the sanctity of the law and legislature.
