The embattled Governor of Rivers State Siminalayi Fubara on Monday insisted that he had not done anything wrong for him to be impeached by the state House of Assembly.
Fubara said this even as the dispute between him and his predecessor Nyesom Wike who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is said to have grown.
The alleged crack between the two men is allegedly due to Wike’s overbearing nature and control of things in the state he relinquished power from on May 29, despite becoming the FCT Minister.
Fubara on Monday said that he has done nothing wrong to be impeached by the Rivers state House of Assembly.
“Let them come out and tell Rivers people the offence I have committed to warrant any impeachment,” the governor said while speaking to his supporters at the Assembly Complex.
“Let me assure the people of Rivers that I will continue to ensure that you get the dividends of democracy. At the appropriate time I will address the press,” he said.
On Monday, the plots to impeach Fubara intensified after the removal of Edison Ehie as leader of the House of Assembly.
Meanwhile, Fubara had earlier inaugurated 14 commissioners and assigned portfolios to them.
Last week after much criticism from opposition political parties, Fubara inaugurated additional five commissioners who were screened by the House of Assembly.
