President Bola Tinubu has been cautioned against allowing the planned impeachment of Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara to proceed. According to Arise Television host Rufai Oseni, such a move would reflect poorly on the president’s ability to protect governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Oseni made the comments on social media, stating that the impeachment would be a significant indictment on President Tinubu’s leadership. He also argued that the recent declaration of a state of emergency in the state has not yielded the desired results, as the impeachment process is still ongoing. This development has raised questions about the effectiveness of the state of emergency in resolving the crisis.
The situation in Rivers State has been tense, with Governor Fubara facing opposition from various quarters. The impeachment notice served on him has added to the uncertainty, and it remains to be seen how President Tinubu will respond to the situation. Oseni noted that the outcome of this situation will have significant implications, not only for Governor Fubara but also for President Tinubu’s relationship with other APC governors.
The role of former Governor Nyesom Wike in the crisis has also been a subject of interest. Oseni suggested that Wike appears to be gaining the upper hand in the situation, which could have far-reaching consequences for the political landscape in Rivers State. The potential for Wike to switch allegiance to the opposition is also a possibility that cannot be ruled out.
As the situation unfolds, attention will be focused on the actions of President Tinubu, the Chief Judge, and the courts. The impeachment process and any potential court orders will be closely watched, and the outcome will have significant implications for the stability of Rivers State and the APC. The coming days will be crucial in determining the fate of Governor Fubara and the future of politics in the state.
