Rivers APC Demands Governor Fubara’s Resignation Within 48 Hours or Impeachment
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara, demanding his immediate resignation or face impeachment by the State House of Assembly.
The party’s state chairman, Chief Tony Okocha, made this declaration on Monday morning during a press briefing at his private residence in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
Okocha accused Governor Fubara of insulting President Bola Tinubu while the president was attempting to mediate the ongoing political crisis in the state.
“As a political party, we are today advising the governor; there are two options—resign honourably or be impeached. That is the position of the All Progressives Congress. He has disrespected Mr. President, and we have told him that we cannot stand by and allow such disrespect,” Okocha stated.
He further claimed that Fubara’s alleged offenses had been validated by the Supreme Court, providing even more evidence against him.
“The House of Assembly does not need to set up another committee to investigate him. 48 hours is too much; he should just resign immediately,” he added.
