Don’t even try to impeach Amaechi, it’s ‘bad market’ – River Assembly members warn


Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi has described the
move by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), to impeach
him through the State House of Assembly as unnecessary
and senseless.
He also added that the PDP cannot persuade the state
lawmakers to impeach him.
Amaechi said that he presently has 26 members of the State
House of Assembly on his side adding that it would be
difficult for the the remaining 5 lawmakers to remove him
from office.
According to reports:
The governor, who spoke through the Chief of Staff
Government House, Port Harcourt, Tony Okocha, said the
governor had not committed any impeachable offence.
He said, “It is very impossible for the governor to be
impeached. The impeachment plot, if it is real will definitely
fail. How can five lawmakers impeach a governor in a
House of 31 members?
“They (PDP) are groping in the dark and they will soon
realise that they are embarking on a wild goose chase
because not even one of the 26 lawmakers will listen to any
impeachment plot.”
Also, the Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assemby,
Leyii Kwanee, said that none of the 26 members of the State
House of Assembly would succumb to any pressure to
impeach Amaechi. Kwanee explained that majority of the
lawmakers were obligated to continue to support the
governor till the end, adding that Amaechi’s position was
aimed at protecting the future of the people of the state.
He said, “Rivers State is already a bad market for any
committee that will come to persuade us (lawmakers) to
impeach the governor.
“We, the pro-Amaechi lawmakers are obligated to support
him (Amaechi). What the governor is doing is to protect the
future of the people. It is for the future of Rivers State. Some
people have been talking about brotherhood from the South-
South. But politics is about interest and not brotherhood. The
lawmakers in Rivers State will never succumb to any
pressure to remove their governor.”
He said that there was a subsisting court judgment that
prevented the House of Assembly from impeaching
Amaechi.
