The Rivers State Government on Tuesday dismissed a call on the state House of Assembly by the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress in the state to commence impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminlayi Fubara.
The state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, who said this in an interview with The PUNCH in Port Harcourt, said the governor would not allow anybody to throw the state into anarchy.
Also, the leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, Chief Edwin Clark and other prominent individuals in the region warned the lawmakers against causing anarchy in the state.
The APC Caretaker Committee Chairman in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, had earlier on Tuesday called on the 27 members of the state House of Assembly loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to immediately commence an impeachment process against Fubara.
