He regretted that despite his effort to adhere to the presidential pact on the political crisis, the other party has continued to distract his government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<em>Let me say it here, those groups of men, who claim they are Assembly members, are not existing. I want it to be on record.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><em><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI accepted that peace accord to give them a soft-landing. That is the truth. There is nothing in that peace accord that is a constitutional issue. It is a political solution to a problem. I accepted it because these are people that were visiting me and we were together in my house.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><em><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThese are people that I have helped\u2026 in many ways when I was not even a governor. Yes, we might have our disagreements, but I believe one day, we could also come together. That was the reason I did it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/africatodaynewsnewyork.com\/2024\/04\/05\/shaibu-impeachment-inquiry-panel-wrap-up-sessions\/\">Shaibu Impeachment: Inquiry Panel Wrap Up Sessions<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<em>But I think it has gotten to a time when I need to make a statement on this thing, so that they understand they are not existing. Their existence and whatever they have been doing is because I allowed them to do so. If I don\u2019t recognise them, they are nowhere, that is the truth.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">But Okocha said no section of the constitution empowers the governor to declare the Assembly members non-existence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c<em>The president (Bola Tinubu) cannot be derided by the governor. The president is the leader of our own political party and it will be foolhardy and stupidity on our part to sit down, to see somebody less than Mr. President insult Mr. President under our very nose.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><em><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt is also absurd to see the governor begin to espouse impunity, intimidation on people who are members of our political party and we stand akimbo doing nothing.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><em><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are here to respond vehemently and stoutly to say to you that as chairman of APC, Rivers State, as representative of Mr. President, that I won\u2019t sit here to see the governor insult the president. We won\u2019t sit here to see the governor declare on his own as if he is a court to declare Assembly members\u2019 seats vacant.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>\u2018To that extent, in consultation with my party, we have directed APC Assembly members to immediately commence impeachment processes of Governor Fubara. Impeachment of a government that does not respect the Rule of Law,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">He said if the House of Assembly fails to commence impeachment, the party will invoke the relevant sections of its constitution to discipline them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAnd if they don\u2019t do that, there is what is called party discipline, we shall invoke that aspect of the constitution and deal decisively with them. We will not also sit down here on behalf of Rivers people to see Rivers State become a laughing stock in the comity of nations,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">He described the government of Fubara as clueless, accusing him of squandering Rivers money in the last one year in office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cEveryday, we find justification in our assertions that the government of Fubara is the worst thing that has happened in our political landscape, in our political history. We are justified every other second in our assertion that the government is clueless, is directionless and it is ruthless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAnd that the governor is even compounding the matter. He is procuring for himself, other very negative dictions and the penchant to deceive Rivers people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAnd, of course, you know that as the main opposition political party in Rivers State, we will never sit down to see all those things and go free, nor shall we allow him to ride rough shoots over us and over the people of Rivers State,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Meanwhile, Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joe Johnson, said Okocha lacked the power to direct the House to commence the impeachment process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOkocha by definition is an acting caretaker chairman and you know once there exists a caretaker, it means there is a substantive chairman of APC in the name of Emeka Beke. That matter is before the jury and the issue of if he has the power to direct means that the answer is no,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Johnson cited Section 109 (1g) of the constitution of Nigeria, saying it has already eliminated the existence of the 27 lawmakers who crossed from the Peoples Democratic Party to APC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/africatodaynewsnewyork.com\/\"><strong>Africa Today News, New York<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has directed members of the House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule to immediately begin impeachment process against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
