Rivers crisis: Pro-Wike lawmakers setting traps – Jega reveals only obstacle to Fubara’s impeachmentP

A former appointee of President Bola Tinubu and political analyst, Mahmud Jega, has said that Rivers State Chief Judge, Simeon Amadi, is the obstacle before the state House of Assembly in the plot to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara.


Jega said this on Arise Television while analysing the political crisis rocking Rivers State and the involvement of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesome Wike.

He noted that the lawmakers loyal to the FCT Minister were setting traps for the Governor, looking for a tangible reason to commence impeachment processes.


Recall that Wike on Saturday said he has no plan to stop members of the Rivers State House of Assembly from performing their constitutional duties.

DAILY POST can report that part of the legislative functions of the Assembly is to impeach the governor if he is found wanting.

The lawmakers, about 27 of them, have been at loggerheads with Governor 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.

When he arrived at the state assembly re-present the budget on Thursday, he was locked out by the lawmakers on the ground that they were not adequately informed of his visit.

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

“The Rivers State assembly members are loyal to Wike and bent on impeaching Fubara,” Jega said.

“The assembly members are setting traps for Governor Fubara to commit an impeachable offense.

“Their only obstacle is the chief judge of Rivers, who they are now going after,” he added.

DAILY POST also reported that the Rivers State House of Assembly had set plans in motion to investigate the state Chief Judge, Justice Simeon Amadi, for alleged falsification of age.

I thought I warned you not to comment on anything that involves the PDP.
Focus on doing better as the ruling party and leave the opposition alone. You can take the traitor, Wike with you.

RISQUE:
You are irrelevant so do your irrational comments on matters of National discuss.
