Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has insisted that Rivers State lawmakers will impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara, if found guilty of any criminal allegations against levelled against him.

Wike led this out on Wednesday, during a media live chat.

Recall that Martin Amaewhule-Led lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly on Friday, vowed to impeach the Governor if he fail to appear before the House within 48 hours.

Reacting to the crisis between the lawmakers and Mr. Fubara, Wike emphasised the importance of upholding the rule of law and criticising those in the Governor’s inner circle.

He said: “Politics is not play. If he has done something to be impeached, let them impeach him. It’s not a criminal offence.

“I cannot believe that in this country, we are now at the point where Nigerians are talking about where three members of the House will sit and make a law, and they are talking about going to the Supreme Court. Do we need to go to work?

“The worst State High Court we have is the Rivers State High Court.

“Speakers and Assembly members are not our children; they were elected; they are not your boys or your girls.

“You sit with them and play with them. I travelled with my Speakers, and I created relationships. It’s not a master-servant thing.

“This elder statesman cried; he almost cried. This boy later insulted this elder statesman; now he can’t go back to him for help. Ordinarily, these are the people who will call the family people. Forget about me.”
