Former Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication Austin Tam‑George said that attempts to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara are unlikely to succeed because of the governor’s performance record and the absence of concrete allegations against him. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Tam‑George argued that the impeachment process is an effort to prevent Fubara from seeking a second term.
According to Tam‑George, Governor Fubara has prioritized the needs of the people, implementing visible interventions in rural development, housing, education and healthcare. This track record, he believes, makes it difficult for opponents to justify impeachment. He also called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to intervene, urging the party not to allow the humiliation of a sitting governor with a strong performance record.
Tam‑George noted that the impeachment proceedings were initiated with articles that lack specificity regarding any alleged infractions by the governor or his deputy. He suggested that the true motive is to scuttle Fubara’s chances of a second term, citing a recent statement from Nyesom Wike that implied Fubara’s re‑election would be detrimental to Wike’s own political career.
He advised Governor Fubara to stay focused on the people’s needs, run a transparent administration and defend his record, believing that the truth will emerge and the governor will successfully defend his administration. While the outcome of the impeachment process remains uncertain, Tam‑George’s comments highlight the complexities of the situation and the potential implications for Governor Fubara’s political future.
