Resign or face impeachment, Rivers APC chair tells Fubara
The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Tony Okocha, has told the Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara to resign or risk being impeached.
Okocha, who was speaking at a press conference in Port-Harcourt on Monday morning, said the invitation of the 27 lawmakers to a meeting by Fubara as a Greek gift.
He stated, “The invitation to the lawmakers is a Greek Gift. The Supreme Court Judgement is final. There is nothing anybody can do about it. The only option available to the governor now is for him to resign or be impeached.”
Fubara had invited the Amaewhule-led House of Assembly members to a peace meeting, following the Supreme Court’s judgement.
The invitation was made through a letter from Dr. Tammy Danagogo, Secretary to the State Government, to Speaker Martins Amaewhule.
The meeting was scheduled for Monday at 10 am at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
The letter read: “I hereby write in furtherance of His Excellency’s promise stated in my letter dated 5th March 2025 to notify you that His Excellency has received the Supreme Court Judgment, and has therefore directed me to invite you and your colleagues -the Honourable members of Rivers State House of Assembly, to a meeting to discuss:-
“Provision of a befitting space for the Assembly’s sittings. Payment of all outstanding remuneration or allowances of the Honourable members. Presentation of Budget and sundry matters;
“Any other matter(s), as may be necessary, to chart the way forward in the best interest of the State. Sequel to the above, I hereby humbly invite the Rt. Hon. Speaker, and all the Rivers State House of Assembly members to a meeting with the Governor as follows.”
